History

Skeets came from the 25th Century with Booster Gold with news headlines for the next 50 years, and Booster used this knowledge to become wealthy and to stop disasters before they happened. Their success led to Booster's induction into Maxwell Lord's incarnation of the Justice League. Apparently dismissed and kept in storage (where he killed time surfing the Internet) during Booster's tenure in the Justice League, he is reactivated when Doomsday badly mangled Booster's power suit to help with repairs. Although he was unable to fix the suit, Skeets revealed again his utility when Blue Beetle came into possession of the Exorian Flesh Driver, an alien technology able to feed off of Booster's particular body energy. Willing to substitute the bulkier substitute armor he was forced to build for Booster, but lacking a proper software, Beetle downloaded Skeets's consciousness into the armor. As the flesh driver, Skeets could still counsel and help his owner, but he could also take control of Booster's body and motor functions when Booster was knocked unconscious. He was also in care of the more advanced features of the suit, "rationing" them to force his owner to a more rational use of the Flesh Driver. Apparently, when Professor Hamilton built Booster a new power suit, similar to his original 25th Century technology, Skeets was again rebuilt as a stand-alone robot.
