	Blue Beetle
		This Beetle was an archaeologist who obtained a number of superhuman powers (including enhanced strength, flight and the ability to generate lightning) from a mystical scarab he fought in Egypt.
		This Blue Beetle's signature equipment is his bug-shaped personal aircraft, which he enters and exits typically with a cable suspended from the cockpit.
		He would be shown later in the title in a blue beetle armor outfit, powered by the mystic scarab, working with Batman's team, before being killed with most of the other heroes at the end.

	The religion of Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)
		Blue Beetle was known for his light-hearted attitude and his frequent comedic banter with his close friend and fellow Justice League member, Booster Gold.
		With regards to the Blue Beetle's personality and interests, he might be classified as a "technologist." Certainly he (like the Batman) a self-made super-hero, who has overcome his lack of natural super-powers by creating his own amazing devices, particularly his Beetle-shaped vehicle.
		But the Blue Beetle's interest in technology has never seemed to rise to the level of an all-consuming passion and can not really be thought of as a religion or even driving motivation for him.

	Welcome to the Birmingham Post-Herald: Accent
		Undeterred, Charlton launched a (mostly) new Blue Beetle in 1964 — wherein Garrett was suddenly an archaeologist and gained his super-powers from a mystical Egyptian scarab instead of Vitamin 2X.
		In 1966, Ditko launched an all-new Blue Beetle, a masked acrobat and inventor named Ted Kord, who fought crooks in a style uncomfortably similar to Spider-Man's, and who flew around in a big bug-shaped airship with a funky new costume and a bunch of scientific gimmicks.
		Blue Beetle has survived umpty-ump origins, a couple of defunct publishers and a host of lousy stories.

	[No title]
		Ted Kord, the second superhero known as the Blue Beetle, was created by Steve Ditko in 1966, and first appeared as a back-up feature in Captain Atom #83, published by Charlton Comics.
		Since Beetle has had health problems (including a career-long problem with weight fluctuation and some kind of heart disease), Dixon's plan was for Tim Drake, the current Robin, to hang up that mantle for a while and replace Ted Kord as the Blue Beetle.
		Beetle, who had grown in maturity by this point, was an important member of this new team, the "Super Buddies." JLI fans waited over a decade for this reunion series, and while there was no way it could have lived up to everyone's high expectations, it was still a good read.

		DC's newest teen hero has a world of trouble on his hands, as the Blue Beetle faces off against wild-eyed Green Lantern Guy Gardner on the moon.
		The first issue of Blue Beetle contains some significant continuity problems, both in terms of internal narrative and with the comic's place in the DC universe as a whole.

		As the Beetle, Garrett launched a one-man anti-crime wave, battling arsonists, payroll bandits, a horseback-riding "ghost," a sea serpent, diamond smugglers, kidnappers, the sinister director of a mental hospital, and even a squad of false Blue Beetles.
		As the Blue Beetle he is rather abrupt, seeking to startle or intimidate criminals, bystanders, or the PCs into cooperating with him.

	Movie Poop Shoot - COMICS 101
		Unfortunately, Charlton’s revised Blue Beetle didn’t seem to catch on with readers, and after two five-issue stints, one in 1964 and one in 1965, the character was shelved.
		Readers were in short order introduced to the Beetle’s primary weapon and form of transportation, the Bug, a giant beetle-shaped airship that the Blue Beetle could remotely control with a wrist communicator, and quickly ascend to and descend from with the help of a handhold that would lower down from the Bug’s head.
		Beetle played a pretty large role in the first couple issues of the series, as one of the Monitor’s hand-picked champions in the first battle with the Anti-Monitor’s shadow creatures.
