Goldstar is a name that has been used by three characters in the DC Comics universe.
[edit] Lobo Comics
Gold Star is a character in Lobo comics and the younger brother of Bludhound. Goldstar thought Lobo murdered his brother, although Bludhound actually died of an incurable disease. Goldstar was generally depicted as an antithesis to Lobo--Kind, decent, clean-cut and generally a stick in the mud as far as Lobo was concerned. Goldstar was killed at Apokolips when he jumped into the Godwave in an attempt to save Lobo.
[edit] Trixie Collins
Attempting to develop a female sidekick for Booster Gold, his corporation hired ex-S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Jack Soo to create a supersuit for her to wear, the resulting suit infused with magnetic energy which the wearer could use to "key" onto a metallic object to attract or repel the object or the wearer, mimicking the abilities of super strength and flight. The costume was then dubbed with the name that Booster's corporation had at the time, Goldstar.
The Goldstar name was actually Booster's original chosen superhero name, but when asked who he was by the President (whose life he'd just saved), Booster mangled his old football nickname (Booster) and Goldstar. The President introduced him as Booster Gold and the name stuck.
When a weak and physically ill Booster's life was threatened by an anti-superhero mob, Booster's personal secretary Theresa "Trixie" Collins reluctantly donned the costume to save his life and followed Booster when he traveled back to the future to save his life and repower his depleted costume. When the group were finally able to return to the present, Trixie gladly gave the costume back, having no intention of ever becoming a superhero.
[edit] Michelle Carter
Booster's twin sister Michelle Carter, travelled back in time like her brother and was quite interested in being a superhero. Michelle decided to explore the present, a time unfamilar to her and "borrowed" the Goldstar costume. She later died during her adventures, to the sorrow of her twin brother.
