"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see youself become a villain."

I see no issue with Jaime being evil. It's actually my opinion that the "Reach Apocalypse" actually was ended, by Blue Beetle (not until after significant damages of course). Earth's Greatest Heroes vanquished, he steps up to lead the world into a brighter day. As he does so, the power corrupts him and he is forced to resort to slavery of the survivors for the planet to prosper, losing his innocence as time goes by.

The scarab's capabilities for shapeshifting allow for significant mass to form, making extra muscle mass and height to br the physically imposing Tyrant of Earth, no big.
