Name - Ronald 'Ron' Carter Alias - Desert Beetle Age - 20 physically and mentally, technically 97. Sponsor - Booster Gold Personality - Cocky, Arrogant, Brave Powers - -Concussive blasts affected by his emotions. The more strongly he feels about something the more powerful his blasts will be stronger. -Enhanced eyesight/perception -Enhanced dexterity and speed in his arms and upper body. -Time Travel(EXTREMELY LIMITED) Weaknesses - His blasts reduce in power the worse he feels, this doesn't happen often because of his can-do attitude, but when it does his blasts are significantly lower in power. While his suit can take quite the beating, any weak spots or exposed areas take the amount of damage equivalent to what he would take without his supersuit. His supersuit cannot deflect bullets and only acts as a suppression to them. His time travel can only be used once every 10 years and even then Ron hasn't mastered it to the point that he can control where or when he will end up. Appearance - Ron has a brown short back and sides that is equivalent to the style of his time. He has a strong jaw and stands at 5 foot 11 and has more muscle than fat. That is not to say that he is extremely muscular, he is in good shape, but nowhere near that of someone who professionally lifts weights. His costume is rather simple in design.

Underneath the clothing seen in the image, he wears a sort of 'supersuit' that is essentially just armour to help protect him when in a fight. BRIEF Bio - Ron was born in Brooklyn, 1923 when the world was recovering from WW1. His father fought in the first world war, but was greatly injured by a grenade and forced to leave early. He got a job at a butchery and spent most of his time outside his work helping his family. Ron had a smaller brother and sister, who he greatly tried to defend throughout his childhood to the point where he hardly let his younger sister talk to any boys without being in a group. He grew up fighting with practically everyone in his street, he had a very close and small group of friends who always backed him up, but there was always the odd time when they weren't there to help him and he was ambushed by a group of ruffians. He learned he wasn't the same as everyone else around the time he was 13. He was in a fight with a lad who had made a rather rude comment about Ron's mother and accidentally send a high powered concussive beam from his eyes to the wall in front of him, narrowly missing the boy he was fighting. This went through the wall like paper and sent the boy running. Superheroes weren't so accepted in this time and so, Ron kept the power a secret and denied everything the boy said. World War 2 started when Ron was 16. Things got tough where he lived, he grew accustomed to the noise of a raid siren and had to face the 'joys' of food rationing. A year after the war had started, Ron was able to join the army, but decided to join a year later after his father was stricken with illness. He was designated as a sniper in the North Africa campaign when he eventually joined. Sniping wasn't much use during the war unless cover missions were needed to be done, and so Ron was also taught how to operate a machine gun and how to operate a tank. He fought for a year before his second power was found. He was on a covert mission to take out a high ranking Axis officer when all he could think about was getting home. He eventually found the officer and had him in his sights when it happened. A blinding flash of light surrounded Ron and knocked him unconscious. When he woke up, he was in a strange, brightly lit place that was like nothing he had ever seen before. After some inquiring, he found out he was in 'Metropolis' and was miles away from Africa or Boston. He had no money and very little supplies so he did the only thing he could do and try to find some odd jobs to do around town. It soon became known around town about the bewildered guy who had came into town in a flash of light which led to Booster Gold going to check it out. Ron explained what happened to him and described the power he had displayed when he was younger to which Booster Gold offered to train him in the use of his powers, along with explaining that people with powers like those are, or were as of yet accepted by society as protectors. Ron accepted, but is still having trouble with getting up to date on the whole technology and whatnot. Notes - Booster Gold took on Ron mostly for the fact that he was a time traveller much alike him.
