Booster Gold has to have the stupidest name for a super hero. IM has the power, the intelligence, the cunning and the experience to to kick Booster's ass.

I think IM eventually takes it, but it's not a walk in the park like some people might be thinking. As far as I know, that suit of Booster's can unload with some pretty heavy weapons fire when necessary.
Booster gold takes this but not so easy. unlike IM he can leave up his forcefield 24/7 if he feels like it and besides, this is a guy who took a full punch from doomsday that sent him literally flying a few miles away and his forcefeild shunted most of the blow, he even had enuff time to say something like "gee good thing i put up my forcefeild really quick." and even after DD walked thru the entire JL, comparative to the others his injuries were minimal ......even tho he was badly bashed up.
IM armors have so many bells and whistles he can never truly operate at an optimum level cuz his armor requires so much energy to function, that he has to wrap things up quickly b4 the batteries run out. plus the longer he stays in his armor the more dangerous it is for him cuz there is so many different radiant energies coursing thru the suit that they could cuase cancer and shit, how freaking dumb is that? this is where booster has him cuz his suit runs on solar energy, and he can easily out last him, plus his blasts have a wider range of capabilities than just plain old repulsar rays
What the hell are you talking of?You need to buy some issues of Iron Man, before arguing.
Iron Man's armor that gived him radiation poisoning and used his body cells to keep operating at functional level was dismantled hundred of issues of ago, Tony possess now a suit that even project a force field able to stop a bolt from Loki's replica of Mjolnir.
Booster Gold against Doomsday just showed to be a poor idiot without tactics and combat experience.
He blasted Doomsday at full force and Doomsday not even notice it.
He blasted him for some minutes in a combined assault with Superman, Bloodwind, Guy Gardner, Fire, without any effect, and this attack drained off all his energies.Iron Man's armor can emit sonic blasts, omni beam, repulsor rays, magnetic beams, EMP, plasma beams, and absorb various kinds of energies.
Booster Gold more recent armor was rebuild from the scientist friend of Superman with rests of the suit to contain Superman's energy form, and it was slightly over his old armor.
Now Iron Man faced tough opponents in a worth way, Booster Gold on the other hand, just get his ass kicked, he put his force field up before DD punched him?A Lucky Shot, just that.
Some info on Booster Gold since he's not very well known:
Booster's costume/power suit is highly advanced technology, integrating offensive wrist blasters with an extremely powerful forcefield belt, multi-purpose goggles, and even a flight ring from the Legion of Superheroes of the 30th century. The original costume was destroyed after the JLA's first encounter with Doomsday, shortly before the death of Superman. Blue Beetle built Booster a second costume, which appeared more a mecha-type power suit akin to Steel's power armor, and was recently destroyed while Booster helped Superman re-integrate himself during his "Man of Energy" stint. The third costume, which is Booster's current costume/power suit, is an amalgamation of the first two costumes, created by Professor Emil Hamilton using the schematics of the original costume in conjunction with the energy-containing polymer fabric given to STAR Labs by the Contessa to create Superman's energy containment suit, the remains of the costume created for Booster by Blue Beetle, and the Kryptonian technology of one of Superman's robotic servants from the Fortress of Solitude. It is a costume that Booster wears with pride.
With the suit, Booster's strength is improved incredibly, allowing him to lift up to several hundred tons if he really pushes it. However, such a push would short out his power suit, leaving him with nothing. So he never tries to push his limits with his suit unless absolutely necessary.
Booster can attain speeds of up to 900 mph in atmospheric flight, and can attain faster than light (FTL) velocities in the vacuum of space. This is the result of having in his possession (and integrated into his costume) a Legion flight ring, taken by Booster along with other items when he originally travelled back in time from the 25th century to the late 20th century.
tBooster's force field is actually the creation of Brainiac 5. This force field is believed to be the most powerful currently in existence. It can almost withstand the full intensity of Superman's heat vision, although after a few moments the shield would collapse, due to the intense strain. Otherwise, it can deflect attacks of up to (and including) a 20 megaton nuclear detonation at ground zero. It does not protect him against mental assaults without physical components, however (such as mind control, telepathy, etc.).
Booster wears an set of amber-colored goggles as part of his power suit. These goggles allow Booster the ability to see throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum, as well as microscopic and telescopic visual capabilities. The telescopic and microscopic capabilities are limited to a maximum magnification factor of one thousand (meaning he can see things two hundred fifty times smaller or larger than a normal human without any aid). In addition, the goggles also allow Booster to 'watch TV', as it were, since the transceiver located in his wrist bands can pick up on television broadcasts and show the images in Booster's goggles.
The power rods, also located in the wrist bands, are the source of Booster's offensive and defensive capabilities with his power suit. Basically, they're the 'batteries' that allow him to keep running while wearing his costume. Energy is collected and stored in the power rods through a variety of methods, but mostly through storing ambient solar energy, much like Superman does through his cellular structure to fuel his powers
Skeets was originally a security robot for the Metropolis Space Museum in the twenty-fifth century. Booster deactivated him and brought him to the 20th century when he broke into the museum and made his time-travelling trip back in time. Skeets usually acts as an advisor for Booster on virtually everything, from tactics to social protocols to the stock market. Skeets is a virtual information warehouse, and one of the first things he realized was that Booster's trip back in time was supposed to happen, since Booster Gold's exploits in the 20th century were documented in the twenty-fifth century. Thus, Skeets serves to make sure Booster doesn't inadvertantly alter history as he makes it.
Also connected to the wrist bands are the wrist blasters, one on each wrist. The power output depends on how much power Booster will expend. The power range goes from a mild stun, up to the ability to level a small building (or put good-sized holes in large buildings).
As formidable as a suit that Booster has, most of his offensive weaponry would get absorbed through IM's energy absorption grid and store it for later use because this fight seems like it's gonna last.
IM also has a variety of abilities which help him distract his enemies while mounting up a serious counter offensive.
Force of character also plays a role and I see Booster not as creative and ingenous on and off the battlefield as Tony.
BG is not smart, he's just a look at my costume it's cool guy.
IM is a genious, has great battle experience, and his force field is better than that of BG
even if IM can absorb his energy attacks im sure he could bash him with his fists until his armor gives way. and no matter what IM armor still cant maintain a shield 24/7 without draining his efficiency
Taking a punch from Doomsday isn't all that impressive, especially when you're considering the fact that Iron Man repels attacks from Fing Fang Foom, and Hulk. If Iron Man didn't want Doomsday anywhere near him, he wouldn't even be able to approach him. Repulsor fields repel everything. The force field in his armor makes it virtually impenetrable, not to mention the fact that the armor itself uses a lightweight vibranium alloy, (akin to Captain America's shield,) that repels force. As long as Iron Man's force field is supplied with energy, his armor is pretty much indestructible.
