WARNING: Potential Spoilers for DC’s How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days #1!
Blue Beetle and Booster Gold have cemented their places as one of the Justice League’s most iconic bromances, but it appears that the classic blue and gold duo might soon be tinted with shades of red as Red Tornado and Booster Gold forge a budding bromance. While this friendship may appear unlikely at first glance, it has the potential to become DC’s ultimate BrOTP.
In DC’s Valentine’s Day Special, How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days #1, fans were treated to eight hilarity-filled rom-com stories featuring DC’s best. Among these tales was the Red Tornado-centric story, Robots Are Red, Androids Are Blue, by Aaron Waltke and Ivan Shavrin, which offered a glimpse into what could be the beginning of an epic friendship between Booster Gold and Red Tornado.
While the duo may not share the same history as Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, Booster’s heartwarming and wholesome gesture towards Red Tornado compensates for their lack of history and highlights their undeniable potential.
Booster Gold and Red Tornado Are the Justice League’s New Bromance
In Robots Are Red, Androids Are Blue, Red Tornado volunteers for Watchtower duty so that his fellow heroes can enjoy Valentine’s Day elsewhere. Despite the collective gratitude, Booster Gold goes above and beyond to show his appreciation. Booster includes Tornado in the festivities by presenting him with a Valentine’s Day card adorned with an illustrated robot declaring, “My heart beeps 4U!” This gesture, both heartwarming and wholesome, highlights the potential for what could blossom into a heart-melting bromance between the two heroes.
What adds an extra layer of significance to this gesture is that Booster Gold was the only one to give Red Tornado a Valentine. Moreover, the card was tailored specifically for Tornado, indicating that Booster invested thought, effort, and care into the gesture. It wasn’t merely a spontaneous action but a premeditated one, reflecting genuine consideration. Booster’s lively, playful, and outgoing demeanor would harmonize with Tornado’s reserved and occasionally awkward nature, rendering them excellent foils for each other with the potential to mutually enhance one another’s strengths.
Sorry, Harley Quinn – DC Just Laid the Foundation for a Poison Ivy/Wonder Woman Romance
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy forever and always, right? NOPE! DC shocks fans with the beginning of a Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy romance.
Sorry, Blue Beetle: Red and Gold Are the New Blue and Gold
With the story concluding with the phrase “Far from the end,” suggesting that Red Tornado’s narrative will continue in upcoming comics, there’s a strong possibility of more interactions between Booster and Tornado, potentially leading to an engaging and novel bromance. Should this materialize, DC will be deviating from the iconic “Blue and Gold” friendship of Ted Kord and Michael Carter, forging something entirely fresh with the dynamic “Red and Gold.” It will be intriguing to observe whether DC capitalizes on the ideal opportunity to cultivate the Justice League’s next standout bromance between Red Tornado and Booster Gold.
