Superhero Origin And History
The Blue Beetle has a long history that dates back to the beginning of the comic book business. He wasn’t even a DC superhero for a significant portion of that period. The DC Comics superhero has been represented by several characters over the years.
Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski first introduced Blue Beetle in Fox Comics’ Mystery Men Comics #1 in 1939. In that version, the character is a policeman named Dan Garret who uses the narcotic Vitamin 2X to increase his power and wears a bulletproof outfit.
Fox Comics’ rights to the character were transferred to Charlton Comics in the 1950s after Fox Comics went out of business. In 1964, Charlton reinvented the character of Dan Garrett as an archaeologist who finds a magical scarab that gives him with superhuman powers.

In 1966, Charlton gave Blue Beetle another makeover and Ted Kord took Dan Garrett’s place. After Garrett’s passing, Kord, a great inventor and one of his students, takes over. In order to battle crime, he uses his devices rather than the scarab.
Ted Kord’s character entered the Justice League after DC bought the rights after Charlton Comics finally declares bankruptcy.
The third hero to identify as the Blue Beetle is Jaime Reyes. Jaime used to be a common teenager from El Paso, Texas, but after the scarab bonded to his spine, he was let into a bigger cosmos. With the help of the amazing powers he gained from this alien artifact, Jaime is able to defend his family and the entire planet from several dangers. Either battling alone himself or with teams like the Teen Titans, and Justice League, Blue Beetle is a powerful super-human.
Powers Of  Blue Beetle
The Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes is without a doubt, one of the most powerful of DC’s teenage heroes, with only his inexperience and lack of confidence limiting the strength of his suit.
Jaime’s strength and stamina are significantly increased by the scarab’s potential to call forward a complete bodysuit at command. The suit has the ability to change into any kind of weapon, including energy cannons, knives, and shields.
The outfit also produces energy wings that allow Jaime to fly and get more defenses. In addition to these features, the Blue Beetle suit has the ability to control energy and vibration to suppress magic and reveal hidden items.
