Scarab

The scarab is a device found by the first Blue Beetle Dan Garrett. Dan garrett found the scarab when as he was in an ancient egyptian pyramid. He soon found out that the scarab could give him powers he decided to use the scarab and the powers the scarab gave him for good and became the costumed crime fighter the Blue Beetle. When Dan died his student and friend Ted Kord took the scarab and carried on Dans legacie by becomicng the new Blue Beetle. Though the scarab did not give Ted powers like it did his mentor that did not stop him from continuing his role as the blue beetle. When ted found out that maxwell lord was up to no good and was planning soething against the justice league maxwell shot him in the head ending the life of the hero known as Ted Kord the second Blue Beetle. When this happened the wizard shazam took the scarab and brought it to the rock of eternity when the wizard died and the rock of eternity was destroyed the scarab was launched out to earth and it landed in a lott in the city of El Paso Texas. It was here that the third and most recent blue beetle Jaime reyes found the scarab. The scarab latched on to jaimes spine and turned his skin into armor the scarab gives jaime many abilities and powers. Not much is known of why the beetle did not give ted or dan these powers. It was later found out the scarab was made by an alien race called the reach who sent out scarabs to many planets to find a host in which they would bind to and use their powers to fight all life on the planet in hopes of the reach conquering the planet. However the scarab that landed on earth is a defective on that does not feel the need to kill but to help others and give he host more choice. The reach was once an enymie of the Green Lanter Corps which explains why the scarab acts weird around Green lanters/ Green lantern rings.
