Booster Gold.
Why? He can time travel, he can fly, and he has a snarky robot companion. That ticks most of my boxes. But I also like him as a character-- he's a janitor that went back in time to become a superhero using future gadgets. He's usually in over his head, he's a bit of a schlub, and he's usually underestimated by others but his heart is in the right place, despite his outward bravado, and he does what it takes to be a hero. Before deconstructing superheroes really became a thing, Booster Gold was there.
I find him one of the more fascinating and relatable heroes overall.
