The Beetles By Ted Kendrick

Note
Are the three Blue Beetles actually connected? They share the name and most of a color scheme(I think the first tossed a little red in there) but not much else.
Yes?* We know that the 1st and 3rd Blue Beetle are connected by artifact at least and the 2nd and 3rd are publically connected as allies so we can assume, transitively, that all three of them are connected.
(A mural of the 3 Blue Beetles painted by 3 artists, one of each hero's generation and from their home cities of Hub City, Chicago and El Paso. A copy of the mural exists in all 3 cities)
We know that the original Blue Beetle, Hub City archeologist and later archeology professor Dan Garret and the most recent Beetle both used the same alien Scarab artifact to gain their abilities. It would eventually turn out that said Scarab was an infiltration tool created by the race known only as The Reach.
(Remember this? Remember when we allll fell for this? Yea. Me too. But I was a child, what's your excuse/s)
The second Blue Beetle, most famous for his membership on the Justice League International and world class bromance with Booster Gold has been seen, after he was assumed dead for many years, acting in a mentorship role to the youngest Blue Beetle providing him with support and equipment and even using his famous Bug airship as a mobile base in both Chicago and El Paso
The only missing connection I would like to have is how the first and second Beetles are connected, if at all. But with the 2nd Beetle still claiming his right to privacy, that personal story is probably going to be a while.

Characters of the day:
The Booster-Beetle family (aka the people associated with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold).
If the names are bolded and italicised then the person is also kind of apart of the family as well!
We included Rani Carter in a different post, be sure to check that out!!
Booster Gold - Micheal John Carter the (bestBoi)
Information about him :
He is from the 25th Century, which is the same as the Reverse Flash. He lived in Gotham city at that time with his mother and twin sister.
His father, Jon Carter had a gambling problem which caused him to leave his family before his kids turned 4. Later on he joined the time stealers and became the villain, Supernova.

A glory seeker and when he was younger, he sought after money from his role as a superhero, often doing sponsorships and cereal ads.
He stole his suit from the Museum he worked at, his flight ring was from the legion of superheroes.
The time sphere he stole from the museum to go back in time was made by Rip Hunter.
He has an indestructible forcefield around himself which managed to survive a punch against Doomsday. He also managed to throw some punches against Doomsday, before Superman stepped in.
He faked his own death, along with the help of Rip Hunter and reappeared as Supernova.
Once went evil and became black beetle.
He tried to save Teds life many times by going back in time. In the injustice universe, he was sent to a time prison for the amount of times he tried to save his life. He was always quite unsuccessful.
He loved superman when he was younger, and was inspired by him to become a superhero, however when he started to work in Metropolis Superman was often annoyed by his mannerisms.
Despite how he acts Booster Gold wishes to do more with the abilities he has (Genuinely a person with a heart) but due to his role and status he has to degrade himself for the sake of the universe.
He speaks/thinks in Esperanto - told by Ted Kord.
Married and divorced a woman named Gladys.
When he heard the news that Ted had died, he became overwhelmed by grief and shot an energy blast at Batman, who was luckily saved by Superman.
When he was drunk he managed to run over Barry Allen and Wally West in the timesphere.
He doesn't know that he is the father of Rip Hunter.
He managed to gain Batman's respect.
He tried to save Barbara Gordon from getting paralysed by Joker.
Ted redesigns and fixes his suit.
Has a 21st Century ancestor named Daniel Carter who Rip passed the Supernova mantle onto.
Head canons:
He acts like an NPC during his TikTok live streams “thank you for the flowers" while backflipping.
He has merchandise that he always plugs and adds to his video descriptions.
He acts like a male wife for Ted.
He uses a lot of anime references when talking to the JLI “Believe it”.
He ALWAYS gets called out for looking like Reigen Arataka or Johnny Bravo.

The son of Booster Gold, though current Booster is unaware of this.
Rani’s nickname for him is Boppy.
He gives Booster missions to carry out.
He aided Animal man in his own time travelling adventures.
He is very serious, you wouldn’t tell that him and Booster are related.
Invented many different time travelling technologies.
Some Head canons :
He watches Dance mums a lot so when he shouts at Booster or anyone else he makes sure to quote a lot he hears.
He once got put into time out from Booster.
No one told him that wearing skinny jeans is not in the new trends.
He dyes his hair to not keep to the allegations.
He loves his chalk board more than himself.
Michelle Carter - Goldstar
Information about her:
The younger twin sister of Micheal Carter.
Followed Michael along when he went to the past with her own suit and technology which is nearly identical to Boosters.
Calls Booster "Mikey".
Rani adores her.
She was supposed to have died when she first came to the past, but Rip Hunter managed to stop that from happening. She spent some time unaware of the deeper implications of her return until it is forcefully revealed to her by Rex Hunter. This left her traumatised and obsessing over her death which caused her to escape into the timestream. Booster managed to coerce her into coming back to the present.
Some head canons :

Rani and her to get ready for the day videos.
She basically lives in her outfit .
She is the carbon copy of Booster /female Booster.

Acted as a father figure to Ted.
Tried to make Ted babysit Sparky when he had to go on long missions with the Mystery men.
Would be a fan of Night in the museum.
Would get along with Alan Scott if they properly met.
Sparkington J Northrup - Sparky / Spunk
Information about him:
The sidekick of Dan.
He is British, and was adopted by Lord Wellington Northrup who fled to America during WW2.
Fox Comics created him to save their company and (copy other successful sidekick characters like Robin and Bucky Barns) to appeal to a younger demographic.

Tries to disguise his British accent.
Would hate Tracy Beaker.
Theodore Steven Kord - Blue Beetle II
Information about him:
The second Blue Beetle after Dan, and picked up the mantle because he felt guilty that his uncle had killed Dan, and because Dan had asked him to carry on his legacy.
Despite the Scarab not working for him, Ted managed to train himself (he has good acrobatic skills), and with his intelligence and excellent engineering skills he built himself lots of gadgets and even a ship named Bug!
He had no real direction for himself.
His father had left him Kord Omniversal when he had passed, and he did manage to revitalise the company so that its R&D managed to rival STAR Labs, but with all the work in the JLA as Blue Beetle, he did occasionally get the company bankrupt.
Was apart of JLI where he met Booster, and the two managed to get each other in a lot of trouble, but still remained close friends.
Known for his odd sense of humour and his mouth getting himself into trouble with other members.
Retired from super-heroics and helped out the Birds of Prey and Barbara Gordon, with the two of them becoming close online friends.
He has a new (kind of) sister named Victoria Kord, who is the enemy of Jaime Reyes, and she is jealous of Ted inheriting the company instead of her.
Was killed by his old friend and manager Max Lord.
He does suffer from a heart condition, which caused him to retire.
Headcanons:
Tries to make Booster stay over at his place as much as possible, so that he would stop disappearing to the Time Lab, without telling him.
Tried to build a prank-popcorn machine for the JLI to make multi-coloured popcorn that would pop everywhere, but Batman was the first to use it.
Orders Chocos to Martian Manhunter when he is bored.
Always references Booster.
Tries to hack the Batcomputer, did it but no one believes him.
Always references the "ONE PUNCH, JUST ONE PUNCH" but the younger generation of heroes thinks he is talking about Saitama.

The third and current Blue Beetle.
Mexican-american, where he lives in El Paso, Texas.
Wanted to become a dentist, as told by Eclipso.
Has a younger sister called Milagro Reyes who is aware of his brothers status as a hero. She is a boostle shipper.
He got the scarab during Infinite crisis, when Ted lost the scarab during a visit to the Rock of Eternity. The Rock was destroyed during a battle between Shazam and the Spectre. The scarab landed in Texas where Jaime discovered it alongside his friends Paco and Brenda.
His scarab was called Khaji-da and was able to communicate with Jaime unlike really with Dan, when it connected to his spine.
Booster sought him out and fought with him, distraught that there was a new Blue Beetle. However, they reconciled and he acted as a mentor figure to him.

"Booster...I... I'm sorry... I was trying to teach you. I was only trying to make you understand-- The Joker is always going to win... We can't change it. We never could. Rex and Supernova had nothing to do with what happened to Barbara Gordon. There was no abnormal wormhole around that event in her life. It's solified time, Booster. Just like the dead of Ted Kord. That's a moment in solified time too. Anything from the present on back cannot be changed... Barbara Gordon was always destined to be paralyzed and become the cyber-crimefighter called Oracle. That's the way it was supposed to be. The Joker will always shoot Barbara Gordon. No matter how many times you go back, you won't be able to win. We're only risking your life."
Booster Gold (2007-2011): 52 Pick-Up. "No Joke."

Future Blue Beetle writers need to use the facts established in Dan's comics that:
Khaji Da is consecrated to Ra (but if they want to make it more specifically to the got Khepri who is an aspect of Ra and also the god behind the sacred scarabs that would be great) and is thus a holy symbol/holy artifact regardless of its morality or origins
Technically Khaji Da (and consequently whoever it's attached to at the moment) has ongoing beef with the minor aspect of another Egyptian sun god, the Wadjet of Horus/Eye of Horus. This beef has been going on for a couple thousand years
Khaji Da can revive the dead. Even dead people who aren't its host. And this is likely due to it being a magic sacred scarab.
Khaji Da is fully capable of taking its host on an astral projection trip through the Duat. Which it did to help Dan learn the true name of the Eye of Horus to banish it again from the mortal realm.
Khaji Da is solar powered. Yes, the alien tech could just be capable of being charged by solar energy but again it was consecrated to a sun god so what magic it has, and it most certainly has magic, is solar-powered. The combination more than likely could give it an edge on other Reach tech.
Like if writers nowadays what to go that the Blue Beetle's powers are magic and tech, fucking acknowledge the magic part.
