- This article is about the second Blue Beetle. For his predecessor, see Dan Garrett, and for his successor, see Jaime Reyes.
Ted Kord (1983[1]—2015) was a member of the Justice League,[4] Dan Garrett's chosen successor and Jaime Reyes's predecessor as Blue Beetle.[5]
Physical appearance
True to his name, Blue Beetle wore blue. His pants and shirt were of a light blue color, with darker blue trunks. The top section of his shirt was adorned with a dark blue cutout that resembled a bug's legs. He wore dark blue gloves and boots, and a belt with a golden buckle. To hide his face, he wore a dark blue cowl with yellow goggles.[6]
History
Early life
Ted Kord was a brilliant inventor and generally considered a good man.[5] When his mentor, Dan Garrett, died, he received the source of his power, the Scarab. Whereas Garrett had thought the object was mystical, Ted Kord correctly surmised it was alien in origin. Kord was not fond of the idea of having an extraterrestrial object latched onto his spine, so he kept it locked away. The heroics of Garret did inspire Kord to become a hero, though; he donned a costume and fought crime using equipment[7] in his home town of El Paso.[8]
He became a hero around November 1, 2011.[8][9]

Around July 2015,[10] Kord suspected the Light was onto the Scarab. One fateful night, in the El Paso branch of Kord Industries, Blue Beetle was attacked by Sportsmaster and Deathstroke. He was killed in an ensuing explosion.[7]
The scarab was thrown clear, and latched onto the passing Jaime Reyes's spine.[10]
