At least in the comics, Ted Kord was the second Blue Bettle, but I don't see Dan Garratt (the first Blue Bettle) as a likely possibility. Jaime said Kord invented the scarab but I bet somewhere in the series he'll learn that it's from outer space. I don't see Darkseid hanging out with Sportsmaster or working for the light. Maybe one of his cronies like Steppenwolf.
