Blue Beetle

*For other uses, see Blue Beetle (disambiguation).*

"*The scarab has chosen. It doesn't belong to you anymore, It belongs with me.*"
―Blue Beetle to the Reach[src]
**Jaime Reyes** is a young hero who came across the Blue Beetle Scarab after it was thrown into Earth when the Reach came into conflict with the Green Lanterns. After taking the alien item home, it attaches itself to Jaime to control his mind, however, due to it losing connection with the Reach, Jaime kept his consciousness.

With this alien tech, he goes to test on its features. One day, with testing with its wings, he accidentally flew across America and landed on Gotham, where he met with Tim Drake and the Young Justice. Together, they went on a extravagant multiversal journey sent by Mr. Mxyzptlk, and must work with his new tennage superhero friends to go back to their reality, alas, their efforts led them to be relocated to a new reality.

When he returns to El Paso, he continues his research on the Scarab and eventually met with its creator, the Reach.
