Pot, Kettle, Booster

I thought it was funny that of all the heroes assembled to bring down the Secret Six, it was Booster Gold who was dismissive of the threat the Six posed. Specifically, he said 'This is silly. Catman? We're talking Catman here? Hell, I'll take them all out myself.'

It's interesting Booster would single out Catman as the one he's least concerned about. They've both been considered jokes at one point, and they've both worked to be better (in different ways) than those who dismiss them would expect. Booster's been a bit more quiet about it, since the knowledge of his time exploits aren't well-known, but he at least recognizes that he's changed, even if the other heroes aren't as aware of it.

Booster's not the sharpest tool around, but I'd think he'd be more careful not to underestimate someone because of what they used to be (or were perceived to be).
