Blue Beetle

Patch Notes Strategy Costumes Trivia

Background

Caught up in a fight between warring super-human gangs, Jaime Reyes ended up with the object they were battling over: a strange blue scarab-shaped object. The scarab bonded to his back and instantly covered his body in battle armor, allowing him to escape. However, once removed from the fight he was horrified to discover that while the armor could be removed, the scarab could not. Worse, the scarab began 'speaking' in his mind. It revealed it had been created by an alien empire bent on universal conquest. The scarab's programming was designed to control its wearer's mind, forcing them to pave the way for invasion. Fortunately, the scarab was damaged and Jaime retained his free will.

Although he possesses tremendous power, Jaime is an awkward teenager and a bit of a klutz. This is made worse by the fact that the scarab's original programming was intended for war, so the weapons it suggests are typically quite dangerous and Jaime must fight to control them.
