History
Daniel Carter was a 21st century ancestor of Michael Jon Carter, also known as Booster Gold. As a high school senior, he was the MVP of the state champion Manchester High Spartans football team, capturing the all-time national rushing record. However, his leg was broken, dashing all hopes of a college scholarship.
Daniel grew up to become a mediocre insurance salesman living near Cincinnati. Constantly plagued by overdue bills, he longed to recapture the glory of his football days. He planned on trying out to be a part of Lex Luthor's Everyman Project.
He happened upon Skeets during Booster Gold's funeral. The robot identified their genealogical link, and offered him an opportunity to become a super-hero. After some resistance, Daniel agreed. However, when Skeets took the young man to Rip Hunter's lab, the robot trapped him inside, opening up a time vortex which sent him to 1,000,000 AD. Daniel soon returned and assumed the identity of Supernova - a guise formerly used by Booster Gold. Supernova, Booster Gold, Skeets and Rip Hunter defeated the Venusian mind-worm Mister Mind, and prevented the collapse of the newly spawned Multiverse. [1]
Immediately afterwards, Daniel returned home and did not leave his living room for over two months, taking advantage of the Supernova suit's resistance to the effects of the passage of time to increase his rankings on X-Box Live. He shows no interest in becoming a proper hero, but after Rip takes Booster away from their home, a mysterious figure appears, knocking Daniel out and stealing the Supernova costume.
