    Blue Beetle is closer to Cyborg from Tean Titans than Ant Man. At least it looks like this iteration anyway, which would be based on the third version of the character.

    He gets his suit via a Scarab in his spine that sheilds him in nanotechnology.

    He has the ability to neturalize magic, which is a prevalent power in the DC universe.

    Flies with wings.

    Can use electromagnetic abilities from the nanotechnology. Can also create sheilds.

    I much prefer the second Blue Beetle; Ted Kord, who is more like Batman.

        Now that we have this version it will be quite some time before we get any other version sadly.

        Booster Gold and Blue Beetle could easily have thier own TV show from their point of view of being outsiders in the Justice League.

        While the heavy hitters are dealing with the big bad the lower members are always cleaning up the mess or fighting henchmen.

          It may be sooner than you think…

          Gunn has stated that this Blue Beetle is the first character in the rebooted universe, there is a stinger in the credits hinting at the return of Ted Kord and a Booster Gold HBO Max show is on the list.
