==Biography==
However, deep down, McCormick actually cares for other people & helps them when in need (in fact, he punched Dalton for not looking before crossing the street, as that caused an accident in which Jo got hurt). He possesses an uncanny ability to see through the Worms disguises as well as detect if there are any nearby without the use of any devices. McCormick acts mercilessly against Worms, saying that as long as they are Worms, they will be destroyed.
It is not until after defeating Van & seeing him as unfit to be a leader, that he joins ZECT, even wearing a full Shadow ZECT Trooper uniform, though he later quits - his tenure with ZECT was merely a means of locating some Worms. McCormick possesses powerful strength & is stronger than any other Riders in every way, from searching for Worms to battling. McCormick's arrogant attitude & superior power usually results in great dislike from the other Riders, resulting in fighting between the Riders, although Beetleborg almost always defeats them easily. Beetleborg later utilizes a partial Put-On after fighting Kamen Rider Scorpix, with the end result being him as the victor.
A Hyper Beetleborg from the future later appeared, & seemingly orchestrated a plan with McCormick to fake Heather's death, which worked quite well for all of ten minutes. McCormick later picks up Heather & comforts her, telling her his back-story.
He met Heather's parents as Worms again on the day of the Charterville accident. He had planned to take revenge on them but once he saw Heather, he changed his mind & decided to save her. McCormick discovers Williams eavesdropping on their conversation & so he asks Williams which side will he stand on. McCormick wants to destroy all Worms so that Heather may live as herself, & Williams eventually agrees to help McCormick as well. Heather, however, is attracted to Area X by the sound of the man in the iron mask. The man was previously a test subject of the Hyper Zecter, but the Zecter went out of control, flinging both of them to the edge of time & space.
McCormick proceeds in collecting all the Zecters as he believes the only way to save Heather is to ensure that he is the only Rider. He obtains the Hornix Zecter after Kickerborg defeated him in battle, Dalton trades McCormick the Scorpix Zecter for cash, & Jay gives McCormick the Dragonborg Grip. McCormick joins ZECT in order to further his quest in gaining all the Zecters & preventing Heather from being destroyed as he plans to destroy ZECT from within. However, Williams disagrees & says Riders are there to fight Worms and protect humans. This ends up sparking a fight between the two in which Stagborg ends up losing.
At first, McCormick wanted to trade Holme all four of his Zecters for the Hyper Zecter, but Holme refuses & laughs at him. McCormick eventually gains the Hyper Zecter after Susanna steals it for him. Holme had the suitcase booby trapped to destroy any evidence of the Hyper Zecter, & detonates the suitcase while it is in Ucaworm's hands. However, the Hyper Zecter reverses the flow of time & appears to McCormick. Through the use of Hyper Clock Up, although unclear of its function, MrCormick saves Williams who is seemingly destroyed by the Cammarusworm. McCormick says that he will master the Hyper Zecter & cross over time, & when that time comes, he will save Heather.
A mysterious man called Trent de Groot tells McCormick to stop collecting the Zecters, saying that if the Riders do not fight Worms, the Natives will be in trouble. McCormick realizes that de Groot is a 'Native' & guards him, as de Groot seems to know Heather's whereabouts. Aaron Williams calls on McCormick & tells McCormick the story of The Red Shoes, explaining that the Zecters will drive them insane if they refuse to fight worms.
After Beetleborg saves Trent from a group of Worms, he experiences the 'berserk switch', almost killing Trent in the process. The Hopper Riders arrive on scene & defeat them instead, leaving with a cruel laugh. Unfortunately, de Groot is still killed by Cochleaworm after trying to escape. He tells McCormick to 'find the solar eclipse' & dies. McCormick & Williams then promise to kill each other if they were ever under the effects of the Red Shoes System again. McCormick then decided to release all the Zecters that he has obtained from the others.
Later on, McCormick is challenged by two Executive Worms to defeat a powerful Worm without the use of Hyper Clock Up, & in return the Executives would tell him the secrets of the Natives. McCormick remarked that his power always evolving & is faster than light & called upon the Perfect Zecter. Utilizing the power of all 4 Zecters, he defeated Lepotophyesworm, but was taken through an involuntary Hyper Clock Up to a place 'devoid of all time' with the solar eclipse.
After seeing a fleeting image of Heather with another man, he is pulled back into his dimension. McCormick is then left wondering why he still cannot control Hyper Clock Up. Back at the Bistro La Salle, Rena challenges McCormick once more in hopes of taking the Hyper Zecter, but her memory gets erased due to McCormick's Hyper Sting attack. Dragonborg & Beetleborg end up fighting each other because Jay doesn't believe that Rena is still evil. After Rena loses her fragment of the Charterville Meteorite, McCormick picks it up & is taken through another Hyper Clock Up to Heather's dimension again. After confronting his Worm counterpart, Kamen Rider Shadowborg, their Rider Kick collision forces Beetleborg back to the real world.
McCormick discovers the secret behind the Masked Rider System after conversing with Williams, learning that it was created by Natives & given to humans who in turned formed ZECT. Through the use of this technology, they fight alien Worms & protect the Natives. It is also revealed that McCormick received his Beetleborg Buckle from the Native who mimicked his father. They are also able to conclude that the Natives arrived on a meteorite 35 years ago to assist the humans with the Masked Rider System. Even after learning all this, McCormick's sole resolve is still to defeat all Worms so that Heather may be safe.
McCormick meets Reynold Norwood as well, & seemingly holds up a much better fight than Williams until Norwood activates Freeze, defeating the power of Hyper Clock Up, forcing McCormick back into Rider form. During their second battle, McCormick learns from his mistakes & anticipates Norwood's use of Freeze. After getting knocked back, McCormick's Hyper Shooting is still active & stuns Norwood temporarily. McCormick is then able to use the Perfect Zecter's Maximum Hyper Cyclone to defeat Cassisworm Dimidius, only to have him evolve into a stronger form, Cassisworm Gladius.
Beetleborg & Shadowborg meet again later in the series, & this time, McCormick wants to purposely lose to Shadowborg so that he may somehow discover Heather's location. However, after realizing this plan made him seem like a coward & a small man, his fighting spirit returns & he defeats Shadowborg, only to be interrupted by Heather who transforms into Sisryaworm. She states that she is fine with living in another dimension & proceeds to defend Shadowborg. After Heather leaves, McCormick explains to Williams that the only way for her to be happy is to let her leave with the fake Beetleborg (Shadowborg). Susanna arrives with news however, that the entrance to the other world is opened when the solar eclipse occurs. Soon after, McCormick & Williams both rush for Area Z in hopes of defeating Cassisworm. There, they see Scorpix defending Blom using his life, & Williams tells McCormick that Heather is acting the same way. She doesn't want to hurt McCormick anymore & so she tries to convince herself that she doesn't want to come back. McCormick, moved by this, leaves, & goes after Heather as a solar eclipse starts.
After chasing Heather back to her dimension, McCormick is able to convince her that Worms are not the evil ones, only the ones that wish to do harm are, & he will always protect her & be by her side. McCormick then talks about how Riders fight for the good of humanity, & she will always be protected. After realizing the one who really cares about her is McCormick, she leaves Shadowborg & returns to the human world. Beetleborg then goes to find Stagborg, on the brink of defeat. Coordinating a three-way Rider Kick with Kickerborg & Stagborg, they are able to neutralize Cassisworm while Hyper Beetleborg finishes him off with Maximum Hyper Cyclone. After discovering that Heather has been injured once again, he takes her to hospital, but she seemingly hides the fact that Shadowborg was the one that injured her. Leaving Heather, McCormick, along with Aaron & Holme, meet with Ned, possibly the leader of the Natives. He asks McCormick if he will help the Natives, & then decides to be McCormick's fan.
Soon after, massive groups of Worms begin appearing again, & McCormick goes to defeat them. McCormick attempts to recruit other Riders in an effort to fight the Worms, but when he appears before Van & Trip, he finds them attempting to regain their darkness & quickly leaves, thinking that they are crazy. McCormick meets Norwood once again, this time as Cassisworm Clipeus, but is unable to fight him as Norwood runs away soon after. After conversing with Williams & Blom back at the Bistro, McCormick learns Dalton is a Worm & automatically decides to defeat him. Williams, however, disagrees, saying there is still good in him.
While Williams leaves to fight Clipeus, McCormick goes & meets Tyrone, learning of a promise that he must fulfill. McCormick meets Dalton after talking with Tyrone & agrees to trade all the Zecters in exchange for Williams' life. At the last moment, the Zecters are able to escape, & McCormick engages Scorpioworm in battle. Preparing for the final blow using the Perfect Zecter, Dalton suddenly appears from Scorpioworm telling McCormick to fulfill his promise. Understanding that Dalton wants to destroy all Worms, McCormick activates Maximum Hyper Typhoon, slashing through Scorpioworm's body.
As Aaron announces that the threat of the Worms will finally come to an end to the public, ZECT begins handing out Worm identification necklaces that alert the wearer of nearby Worms. Upon learning this, McCormick begins destroying the necklaces. By destroying the necklaces, the public begins to fear & hate Beetleborg. Beetleborg & Shadowborg once again do battle, interrupting McCormick's quest to destroy the necklaces. Anticipating Shadowborg's attack method, Beetleborg is able to defeat him by using Hyper Clock Up along with the Maximum Hyper Typhoon. Returning to destroying the necklaces, Stagborg tries to persuade Beetleborg to stop, but Beetleborg simply tells him something is not right about the necklaces & continues destroying them until a blocked bullet from Roosevelt's gun goes stray & hits Susanna. Beetleborg then fires at Stagborg & escapes the area, leaving an infuriated Roosevelt to care for an injured Susanna.
Continuing on his mission of destroying the Worm identification necklaces, McCormick ends up rescuing Shadowborg from the clutches of Holme & Ned, who have taken over ZECT. After saving Shadowborg, Stagborg finds Beetleborg & demands to know the reason behind the destruction of the necklaces. Beetleborg reveals that the necklaces are turning humans into Natives & must be destroyed. Not believing this, Stagborg attacks Beetleborg & defeats him with the help of the ZECT Troopers. Lying under the rubble of the battlefield, McCormick recalls his words to Heather of him always being by her side. As he reaches for a lone flower, the rubble from atop him falls & apparently crushes him. It is revealed that McCormick was indeed still alive after all. He uses the very same lone flower to destroy the controls, causing the meteorite that was turning humans into Natives to overload.
Afterwards, McCormick gives a powerful speech to convert the Native ZECT Troopers to his side. Then Hyper Beetleborg defeats Holme/Gryllusworm together with Stagborg, escaping the first explosion as an irritated Ned was intend to make McCormick pay for ruining everything he sought to obtain. Shadowborg then rushes out at the last moment, telling McCormick to protect their world as he drags Ned back into the explosion that kills them both. Realizing the battle is over, McCormick releases the Beetleborg Zecter, & Williams soon follows suit, the two then watch the Zecters fly away to an unknown destination.
McCormick then tells Williams to listen to what he is about to say, for he will only do so once. McCormick then goes on to say that to walk the same path is merely a test of perseverance. McCormick then says, "But reaching different paths together is..." Williams then interrupts, calling McCormick "Friend", & asking him if his grandmother gave him this quote. McCormick smiles & states that those are his words. The two are then greeted by Roosevelt, Susanna, & Blom. Susanna leaps to McCormick & gives him a hug, causing McCormick to nearly fall backwards in surprise. McCormick then resumes a normal life. During the epilogue, McCormick is shown in Paris improving his cooking skills, giving his trademark introduction to a Frenchman who recognized him & asked him if he's the famous Drew McCormick.
==Personality==
Drew McCormick is a quiet 18-year-old young man who often seems to follow monk-like philosophies of peace. 
McCormick often spouts amazingly appropriate zen-like phrases he supposedly learned from his grandmother, prefacing them with "My grandma once said this". He also often does a 'point to the sky' pose, usually after he defeats a Worm or introduces himself. McCormick has no actual job & doesn't attend college because he believes that he is destined for something bigger (which is becoming Beetleborg).
Despite having many talents (from cooking to hairstyling to excelling at various sports to the extent that he can handle entire teams alone), he is usually uninterested in pursuing anything until his belt activates. He calls himself a "National Treasure" & "Universal Treasure". McCormick stays in a big home with his little sister Jo, loves cooking, & seems to have an interest in Williams' co-worker, Heather. As a result, he is a regular customer at Bistro La Salle.
Because of his abilities & outlook, combined with his talent of being a step ahead of those around him, McCormick is somewhat rude, & exceedingly arrogant at first glance. However, this serious personality holds back the caring emotions he has for others.
==Kamen Rider Beetleborg==
