The Justice League had been active for several years. Their membership included Superman, Batman, Vixen, Green Lantern (Alan Scott), and Robot Man. Most of them were already in their 40's, Batman was rumored to be in his 50's. The team took down threats such as Brainiac, the rogue General Eiling, Solomon Grundy and an army of the undead, a Thanagarian Cult, and dozens of others. Weeks ago, in a battle with the alien tyrant Despero, both Vixen and Robotman were killed in action. Robotman COULD have survived, but the three eyed behemoth crushed his head and destroyed the original brain of Cliff Steele.

One year ago...

The Justice League extended its reach and took in several new heroes to form the Justice League Unlimited. Over the course of the first several weeks the League learned about the existance of a similar group, composed of super criminals, calling themselves the Society and brought together by the devious Lex Luthor Jr. Shortly after the Society made themselves known, the Question deduced that the super criminals were after artifacts composed of a mysterious Nth metal. During a mission that saw a group going to the destroyed remains of Atlantis, Ravager was seemingly killed by an unseen attacker and left for dead. Her father, Deathstroke, would later abduct her from JLU headquarters to help her recover on his own terms. Bulleteer would also be attacked in Metropolis and taken out of action after taking trauma to his head after the enemies of the League were informed by Lobo that his helmet was composed of Nth metal. Ambush Bug was killed during an attack on the League's HQ, and the heroic Clayface was torn apart as well.

Over the course of the last year the League would continue to evolve. Superman would be defeated and killed by the monster called Doomsday. Green Lantern has retired after finding out his reformed enemy turned fiancee Thorn was pregnant with twins. And Batman has seemingly stepped down from the League as well but not before sponsoring Clutch as the new wheelman for the Justice League Unlimited.

Present day...

The League still moves forward after everything they've been through. Supergirl and Blue Beetle have stepped up to lead this new era of the team, however a crashed spaceship would change everything. Discovering the hero called Starman in the wreckage, the League was warned that white Martians have began invading the planet and one of their own has already been replaced by a Martian! Who will be revealed as the traitor? Where did Starman come from?

About the Founders...




Superman - He's the first superhero. The reason it's even called a super-hero. His career seemingly began in the 1970's, however reports indicate he may have been active as far back as WWII. Same basic powers of Superman. He makes everybody in the room wanna stand a little bit taller. A big blue boyscout to this day, he has a line he'll never cross and ALWAYS finds another way. He's pretty much the big gun of the metahuman/alien archetypes. He's only been Clark Kent the last twenty years or so of his life on Earth. He obviously ages slower in the universe than past incarnations. - Deceased

Batman (mask off) - Same billionaire playboy philanthropist, his career just began in the late 90's and has lasted nearly two decades. He is to the gadgeteers and standard human heroes what Superman is to metas and aliens. The big gun. Basically picture Ben Afleck's Batman here just with more gray hair. - Retired

Green Lantern - Alan Scott is the resident GL, and the ONLY GL in this universe. I'm staying away from the GLC and all the rainbow brigade Corps. His career stretches over the last decade or so and a few years back he absorbed the energies of his magic ring internalizing his power. He's the big gun of the supernatural/magic archetypes. He's also based in Gotham and mostly patrols during the day when Batman isn't being Batman. - Retired

Robotman - Cliff Steele was once a racecar driver and adrenaline junkie. He jumped out of planes, served two years in the military, and was even a bouncer on a cruise ship for several months. It was to no surprise to anyone when he finally went too far and crashed an experimental NHRA racing car. His body was near completely destroyed, which is when his friends at STAR Labs Dr. Niles Caulder and Silas Stone put his brain into the body of a machine. Still ever the enthusiast he decided superheroics were in his future and took the alias Robotman [he wasn't very original]. He was a hero of Midway for several years before joining the other founding five in the Justice League. In the battle with Despero his brain was destroyed, thus ending the career of Robotman. - Deceased

Vixen - Mari McCabe was born in Africa and possessed the magical Tantu Totem. This is a magical artifact, supposedly passed down over several generations from mother to daughter, and is the source of her power. Giving her the ability to mimic the attributes of any animal on the planet, Mari used this power to protect her village until moving to the United States and going to college. After graduating Mari was offered a modeling contract with an agency in NYC. Getting lost in the spotlight and fame, she was eventually reminded of the power and responsibility and publicly came out as the hero Vixen. After joining the JL for several years, her life was snuffed out when the behemoth Despero used his immense strength to crush her under the weight of a destroyed skyscraper. - Deceased

Background heroes in the Tower...


Vibe - Hispanic breakdancer turned metahuman hero from Detroit.
Amazing Man - the energy absorbing, hard hitting, African American hero.
Ambush Bug - Deceased
Fire - Brazilian green fire manipulator.
Ice - ice manipulator from Norway.


Other notable heroes...


Commander Steel - Henry 'Hank' Heywood was a member of the United States Marine Corps during the second World War. Injured during an attack caused by Nazi saboteurs, Heywood underwent an extensive, experimental surgery that resulted in him obtaining a 'skin of steel'. Possessing superhuman durability and strength, Hank took on the alias Commander Steel, secretly returning to the war where he was approached by Doctor Fate. Seeing the long war ahead, Fate came to Steel to ask him to lead a specialized team and the new hero did not disappoint. Forming the Justice Society, Commander Steel lead the group into battle after battle, emerging victorious. Unfortunately, Hank's story does not have a happy ending as the surgery wound up impacting his mental health. As he aged, his sanity began to wane and so to this day, Henry Heywood resides in Arkham Asylum, having been put there by those who loved him most.

Wonder Woman - Possibly the first superhuman to appear in the public eye. Wonder Woman, or Diana of Themyscria, predates the Justice Society by nearly two decades having originally appeared during the first World War. An Amazon hailing from a hidden paradise island, Wonder Woman possesses strength, speed and durability only surpassed by Superman herself. Armed with incredible mystical weapons such as her bracers and lasso, Wonder Woman did miracles for the allied troops in the Great War and served as a founding member of the Justice Society before retiring to Themyscria after the second World War. She has not been heard from since.

Wildcat - The youngest among the Justice Society, Theodore 'Ted' Grant was a rising world class heavy-weight boxer. The last to be recruited to the Justice Society, Ted Grant was also the last to remain active, returning to Gotham where he would fight crime on the streets until one night when a young Bruce Wayne knocked on his door. Training Bruce Wayne changed Ted, settling some of the wild in the cat as the man changed focus from protecting the streets to giving youths an outlet as he opened a free gym. Still, Ted retains his ties to the world of costumed antics and from time to time will still be asked to train a young hero on how to properly land a punch.

The Flash - The original Flash, Jason 'Jay' Garrick was a college student who after a lab accent found his latent metahuman genes activated. Using his powers originally to have a comfortable college football career, the curse of power and responsible eventually caught up with Jay as the call of second World War was too much to ignore. Using his abilities on the field, Jay was approached by the mysterious Doctor Fate who set Jay onto the path of Hank Heywood, otherwise known as Commander Steel. Joining with the Commander, Jay acted as a member of the Justice Society until he was forced to retire. His metagene unfortunately accelerated his aging and Jay retired shortly into the early 1960's. But Jay's legacy lives on, as the mantle of the Flash was passed down. Without using his abilities, Jay was able to prolong his life and lived among society as a civilian, marrying his college sweetheart Joan. Jay passed away peacefully in his sleep five years ago surrounded by friends and loved ones.

Doctor Fate - During the late 1930's, archaeologist, Sven Nelson and his son, Kent Nelson traveled to the Valley of Ur. It was there the pair stumbled across the tomb of Nabu the Wise. Exploring the tomb, Kent accidentally opens the sarcophagus containing Nabu and with it released the trap that had long awaited would-be tomb raiders. A poisonous gas was released into the room, and both Sven and Kent fell victim to it. Waking up, Kent found himself at the feet of a man he did not recognize, this man turned out to be Nabu who, through what little strength he had, reached out and saved Kent. Revealing to Kent that he was no longer on Earth but in the realm of the Lords of Order, Nabu sent Kent back to Earth but provided him one parting gift. A golden helmet. This helmet would transform Kent into Doctor Fate, merging the body of Kent Nelson with the mind of Nabu. Endowed with mastery of the mystic and arcane, Kent was able to see the future and the horror of the second war. Nabu provided him a solution however and Kent, now called Doctor Fate, set out to unite the Justice Society. Serving as a member for its entire duration, when the Society was disbanded to make room for the League, Doctor Fate disappeared without a trace.

I always wanted to be a hero..

| B I R T H N A M E: |
Mikael Zachariah Smith


| N I C K N A M E ( S ): |[
Mike, Zach, Neo.


| A L I A S ( E S ): |
Dark Messiah


| S E X: |
Male


| A G E: |
28



But, not like a hero that faces danger and risks their own life everyday.


| A P P E A R A N C E: |
Mikael stands at a rather tall 6'5, and weighs just under 200 pounds. He's sporting an athletic build and rather wide shoulders. He carries a fair amount of swagger on his step, yet he's often dragging behind. These days due to fear, but in the past due to drunken disorientation. He is never seen without a cross hanging from his neck in a leather strap. He's got several tattoo's on his arms, shoulders, chest and neck, all of which with some type of religious overtones. He's usually seen dressing in long sleeve shirts, often with a leather or jean jacket on top, or a flannel shirt. He does not wear anything but jeans for pants, and more often than not that they're ripped or otherwise heavily worn. He does not have an outfit for the field yet.


| P E R S O N A L I T Y: |
Cynical,, sarcastic, emotionally scarred, insecure, cocky, aloof and a general 'I don't give a fuck' attitude. He's in this JLU business for his own gain, not to do good, he doesn't believe he can do good, not anymore.



More like Justin Bieber or Brad Pitt or Katy Perry, y'know? I'd wanna do nothing and still be called a hero just because people adored what I did.

| A B I L I T I E S: |
NEW GOD DNA:
Mikael has been inflicted with the DNA of the Gods of New Genesis, and it wasn't from one of the nice ones, but the DNA of possibly the most evil being in the entire universe (Or, at least this universe.), the Overlord of Apokalips, Darkseid. Unlike Darkseid's son, Orion, Mikael shares his connection to the Omega Effect and it fuels his ever growing power. It's been some months since Miakel contracted the blood of Darkseid, and has since already developed enhanced durability and physical features. He heals faster and he can get hit a lot harder, surviving getting hit by a train with no severe injuries, only a couple of broken bones. According to Batman's tests, Mikael has already just about stopped aging.

GROWING POWER: Not even a year has passed since Mikael's life changed, and he's growing more powerful by the day, more and more power pumping into his veins, and his body is slowly but surely changing to be more like that of his patron, Darkseid, with no signs of slowing down. With the increase in his powers, comes the increase in his connection to the Omega Effect, a well of power previously only tapped into by the God himself. And with it, his connection to Darkseid, he has vivid visions of things Darkseid has done, or is doing. Horrible demonic visions he does not understand, nor can control and they have rendered his psyche fragile and was what drove him to try and take his own life, six weeks ago.

TACTILE TELEKINESIS:
Mikael's generating a energy field around him that is the reason for his enhanced durability, this field could potentially allow him many more abilities, such as super speed, flight, and supers trength. So far, he's managed nothing more than to hover for a few seconds, despite Superman's best efforts in tutoring him. Yet, he's showing a lot of promise.

OMEGA BLASTERS:
Here's the real deal, the ability to mimic Darkseid's signature geometrical laser-vision. Like the former, Mikael's able to disintegrate things, or people on sight, albeit, he's never been able to do that at will – nor does he want to. He's slowly but surely getting the hang of how to turn the power on – and more importantly how to turn it off. How to do the spin – curve – phase through material laser is still far out of his grasp.

LIMITATIONS:
The most obvious limitation to Mikael's power is that, well, he doesn't really have any power yet. His abilities are so far nothing compared to the heroes of the Justice League – or the villains they will fight. He's little more use to the Justice League than Alfred Pennyworth would, in fact, I take that back, Alfie would be more use than Mike is. However, what does make him interesting is the potential he has. Superman has gone toe-to-toe with Darkseid more than once, he knows how terrible the Dark Overlord's powers are, how monstrous his powers are, and if there's even a chance that Mikael could become a fraction as powerful, and use those powers for good, he would be a massive asset to the league, earth and all that is right.

Further on, Mikael's afraid of his own powers. His visions are putting him in a very vulnerable place, where he's unable to quite tell what is real and what isnt, as sometimes they are so vivid that the faces of others is wrapped into that of the demons of Apokalips, or worse, the victims of Darkseid's wrath.


| S K I L L S: |
Pick-Pocketing, sleight of hand and general misdirection.
Hotwiring
Handy with a crowbar
Less handy with a shotgun
Has a pretty fair hunch about the value of certain goods.
Excellent get-away driver.
Pretty handy with a pocket knife.
Gambler, can handle his booze.
Decent at hand-to-hand combat, despite never being trained.
And by handle, I mean drink four bottles of whiskey in one sitting.



But life doesn't always pan out that way, huh..


| S A M P L E / B I O G R A P H Y: |
”You guys ever been out drinking one night at the local, and wakes up 36 hours later in a pool of blood, finding out that you've got the blood of Satan pumping in your veins? No? Just me? Great.” Mike said, sitting in the all white room, only one painting hung on the all white walls, the windows were barred and the previously mentioned painting – of a boat in a wooden frame, looking like something a kindergartner had made, actually, knowing this place, it very well could be.

Mike sat in a small circle with four other 'inmates' as he called them, it was their weekly group session – not that it was much of a session, the guy on his left, Jackson Todd, sat repeating “Philadelphia” over and over, while hugging his knees to his chest, and the one of his right was drooling and was just north of being a vegetable, too jacked up on drugs, his name was Matthew Thomas. Last was the petite girl with her pale skin and her jet black pixie cut maybe ten years younger than him, whom he had only ever heard being called “Ace.” Ace was as far as he could tell a mute, she walked, she ate, but she did it all without making a sound. He had never heard her let out a grunt, say 'ouch', cough or sneeze. If he hadn't seen her eat during lunch, he would be convinced her mouth was sewed shut.

Well, the eating, and the screaming she did at night, living in the door next to his. Her demons were very much like his, and in some way, maybe she was shades of the future for him. What had he really amounted in his life? Not a whole lot, he came from nothing, his parents were nobodies, his dad a blue collar worker and his mom a drug addict, and once she OD'd on heroin, it was his father's turn to take the needle. And Mikael had his own share of substance abuse. Alcohol had been his drug of choice, and he sure had had some bad trips, but these past six months had been like one very bad acid trip. He let out a loud sigh, as the last member in the little circle – the doctor. Wearing his tweed jacket with the elbow patches, balding hair and a bad combover, a well maintained brush mustache and beige khakis with loafers on his feet. His name was Doctor Brown, Mikael had never heard a first name for him. Well, unless his parents had named him Doctor, and he was just another fellow resident at this little piece of paradise. But you'd have to be a lunatic to name your child Doctor.. 'Kettle, meet pot, I suppose' Smith thought to himself.

“Bored, Smith?” He asked Mikael, whom looked up at him. “Having the time of my life, Doc.” Brown shook his head. “That adjournes today's session. Smith, Ace, you can return to your rooms.” Ace nodded and walked away, Mikael took another second. “I have a headache, I could use a cup of water.”

“Mr.Smith knows full well that you're not allowed to drink water at will. Ask the nurse to bring you a mug.”

“What am I gonna do, drown myself in a mug?” He asked sarcastically, Brown shook his head again, before he shoo'd him away to his room again. Mikael let out another loud sigh. His head was hurting, which meant he was gonna have another vision, that was most often the sign, he could only barely get into his room, the door closing behind him as he collapsed on the floor, his head being bombarded with hundreds, thousands of images and sounds. Battle plans, genocide, murder, butchering, slavery, mass graves – it was like the worst kind of holocaust film you ever could've imagined, but a thousand times worse than that.

He woke up four hours later, in his bed, his head was still sore, but he could at least call for the nurse. He opened his dry lips. “H-Hey, nurse.. Can I have water?” He asked, and the nurse responded with “Of course, Mr.Smith. You do have a visitor, though. I'll let the visitor bring you the water, and your nightly meds.”

A visitor? Who even knew he was here? And more curiously, who cared to visit him? All of his old contacts had shunned him in the past year. And a visitor they would let give him his meds? Curious indeed, and he probably would've continued to ponder, if it weren't for the fact that he got distracted by the ticking of the clock out in the hallway. That god damn clock always did bother him.

His door opened, and where he expected to see a face, he only found darkness. He clenched his sheets with his left arm, his right locked in it's strap around his neck, still healing from his 'accident'. The man infront of him was clad completely in black, his look unmistakable. He was the God Damn Batman.

”Mikael Smith?” Batman asked him and Mike nodded. He nodded for him to hold out his hand Batman handed him the meds, and once he had thrown them into his mouth, he also handed Mikael the water he had been craving for the last few hours. Under his arm was a dossier. “Mikael Zachariah Smith, born 18th Novemeber 1988. Born at Gotham General Hospital, son of Willis and Mariah Smith, both of them drug addicts, albeit at different parts of time. Your father committed murder on a federal agent while working for the cartels down in Mexico, and he got the needle for his trouble.”

“Yeah..” Was his only response.

“You were 12 and an orphan, you were taken in by The Gotham Cathedral Church, and put in the care of their orphanage and raised Father Eric O'Malley. Five years later, Eric was arrested for his use of young teenagers are criminals and thugs, dismantling his entire network – and then you were in the wind. Off the grid. You ended up in the ER a few times, four bullet wounds on different occasions and got cut with a knife six times on five occasions. A man matching your description was mentioned as a pick-pocket, or a purse snatcher, and even as a robber in a few breaking and entering cases, but you never got caught and no one in Gotham has the time to keep going after a ghost. Well, almost no one.” Batman said, his eyes glaring into Mikael's very soul.

“Y-You here to bust me? Because as you can see, someone beat you to the punch!” He shouted, twitching his broken arm.

“Seven months ago, 85 people vanished out of seemingly thin air, all of them as old as you, born the same year, a few weeks apart from you. Two months later, 84 bodies are found in a warehouse in Detroit. You are the only one who survived the kidnapping, what happened to you?”

“I.. I really do not know...”

“That injury, you remember how you got it, your little 'accident'?”

“It wasn't an accident. I jumped in front of a train and tried to kill myself. It was a miracle that I survived.. If you call this living...”

“Not Quite.” Batman cut him off, taking out a video player – looking like a phone. On it was newsfootage from a railway outside of Metropolis. '600 people confirmed dead in the Monorail Tragedy” The text at the bottom read, scrolling past with footage of all of the charred corpses. It was spliced in with footage of the Big Blue Boyscout, Superman, being blasted out of the air by a crimson red projectile, tearing open his suit and grounding him, wounding him even, yet, there was no footage of what it was that had fired the blast.

“W-What?! I wasn't there, I got hit by a train and broke my arm!” Mikael cried out, and Batman shook his head. “You got hit by a piece of a cart. One piece you didn't evaporate into dust. You're in Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane.”

Name: Lara Kent
Alias: Supergirl
Age: 20
Personality: quirky, emotional, childish, optimistic.
Archetype: Half-alien
Powers:
- Flight (still working on those landings)
- Superhuman strength, endurance and speed.
- Super hearing is but a fracture of its full potential.
- Still trying to figure out the x-ray. And heat vision sort of comes and goes and has a mind of its own.
- Tactile telekinesis. The ability to enhance the powers of her Kryptonian heritage. Whether it’s her strength or speed, she can boost her own philology and abilities. Besides that, she has also been able to create forcefields around people and objects, as well as lift things with her mind. However, this particular capability has also been known to mysteriously fail in certain instances.

Weaknesses:
Kryptonite. It will leave her much more vulnerable. And yet: Since Lara’s only half Kryptonian, it does not have the same crippling effect on her, as it does her farther.

Appearance:

Character Evolution: Lara will be someone with an identity crisis, as she was someone who felt normal, but then felt pressured to be something else in order to help the world. She’s on a journey from super powered to superhero. Girl to woman. Accepting that other side of her. She'll make mistakes (super powered mistakes, as well as personal mistakes) and learn from them. She'll have fears confirmed and doubt, if she’s even doing the right thing, yet also gain confidence in the process. Maybe even a sort of rivalry with Solara. And maybe that blossoms into a friendship, maybe it really won’t. In time, maybe the whole world will regard Lara as a treasure.

BRIEF Bio:
Lara’s birth was long and difficult. In fact, doctors weren't even sure Lois Lane was going to make it. For the first time ever, the Man of Steel was helpless to save the woman he loved. Yet in the end she pulled through and gave them both a beautiful, little girl.
There was no disagreement on how they should raise her: First they taught Lara to be human. Then they taught her to be super. This initiative carried over to her teen years, as she would go to great lengths just to feel like everyone else. Though her parents did their best to teach her to respect, but not fear her powers, they ultimately failed. Even though the human side of her meant she never quit reached her father’s level, she feared her powers. That’s why Lara has never let loose, and only trained her powers in order to control them. Because of it, she has yet to realize her own limits.
Her telekinesis, and how she was able to develop it, was a mystery to everyone. In time, everyone came to accept that there was no other explanation than the conditions were right and it happened. It stands as proof that even after aliens have visited Earth there’s still some mystery left. Lara Kent is simply a force that just is.
Like her farther, she can wear nice outfits and still not be afraid to get her hands dirty. And like her mother, she can enjoy the simple things in life.
Though really smart, she never had many friends. It was as if everyone knew she was a little different. Her occasional awkward behavior reflects her lack of social skills, but then again: Sometimes her one-liners are spot on.

When the need arrived for the Justice League to expand, Lois would not even let Clark talk to Lara about it. Their daughter had chosen another path. Yet, when Lara found out about it anyway, she shortly thereafter threw aside all dreams and desires to live a normal life. A choice that caused her great dread, though for now, only her mother seem to notice.
This was a whole new world for Lara. One where she was still just a girl. Still a super one at that. A Supergirl.

Notes: Yes, I know Lara is supposed to be the daughter of Wonder Woman or imaginary. But not here! :p

Sample Post:
“You have to be sure, this is what you want. No one wants to pressure you,” Lois said and watched her daughter nod cautiously, while she tightened a bolt on her bicycle.

“Well, dad seem very eager for me to do it,” Lara pointed out and kept turning.

“Yes, a bit too often, he has got his head in the clouds, if you ask me, sweetheart. But he always swoops back down eventually and sees the bigger picture.”

“So just because I’ve got… powers… don’t mean I have to go out there and be a hero?”

Lois’ answer came without a moment’s pause: “Oh yes, you do! Very much. Everyone should. However, you need to find out what being a hero means to you. And once you find out… never compromise. Not even for a second.”

Through the living room window Lara noticed the TV was still on.
The horrible images of a sooted wreckage were projected onto it while a reporter spoke. With his grief showing, he described the horrible fire that had costed the lives of an entire family.
Lara closed her eyes and for a while she just stood there like a statue.
Then the remaining bolts started to shake. The bike vibrated and the wind changed direction, if only for a few moments.
“… Tell dad: I wanna do it.”

Name:
Ted Kord

Alias:
Blue Beetle

Age:
27

Personality:
Optimistic, calculating, light-hearted, Jolly, Determined

Archetype:
Gadgeteer







Character Evolution:
I’d like for Ted to gain a few close friends and possibly a girlfriend if it happens naturally. Over time I’d like for Ted to replace and improve on his gadgets such as making more attachments for his B.U.G.

BRIEF Bio:
Ted Kord was raised in luxury due to his parents owning the highly successful cooperation know as Kord Industries. Living in such an environment inevitably spoiled Ted and resulted in a child who believed they were a cut above the common rabble but this lifestyle also allowed Ted to put a great focus on his studies and become a child prodigy. This mentality didn’t help Ted make any real friends but the boy suffered a real shock when his parent’s company was bought out by Wayne Enterprises during a low period for the company. Ted’s ‘friends’ all left him and his family was forced to drastically change their lifestyle to fit their new money situation. Luckily Ted’s parents made peace with the situation quickly and managed to keep the family fed, warm and dry.

Ted wasn’t as easy to adapt.

The now eleven year old boy took the change horribly and blamed his parents for their new accommodations and finical situation. This mentality slowly eroded away as Ted grew older and came to realize just how much his parents needed to do just to keep their family living somewhat comfortably and put him through university.

After university, Ted made a name for himself in the business world via starting multiple companies and selling them off for huge pay outs which allowed him to once again live in luxury. Eventually he managed to buy back his parent’s company from Wayne Enterprises after a decent amount of haggling and paying more than the corporation was worth. The first major project headed by the company under Ted’s leadership was the development of the software to be used in the Justice League’s base of operation. The business owner hadn’t followed the career of the heroes very closely but he knew about the superhuman that inhabited his world but seeing them up close sparked something within Ted.

These heroes put their lives on the line so that people like him could continue their lives without needing to worry about some intergalactic starfish or something destroying the planet. Ted wanted the self fulfillment that came with such an occupation. He thought “I want to be one of those guys” and began using the resources of his company to cobble together gadgets and a suit so that he could become a protector of the planet.

Notes:
-He got the Blue Beetle name thanks to two days of trying to think of one then taking a “what’s your Superhero name?” test online.
