Jaime Reyes was just your normal teenager living his life in the suburbs of El Paso. He had his friends, he had school, he had his family. None of this changed when he went on a school trip to the Kord Industries Industrial Plant™️. An experiment went wrong, and an explosion later and a piece of alien technology called a Scarab affixed itselt to Jaimes spine.
Reminding Jaime of the scarab worn by the fictional WW1 archaeologist Dan Garret in his many movies and comics to fight for a better tomorrow using the moniker Blue Beetle. As such Jaime took to the streets in a swathe of incredibly poorly executed heroics.
Ted Kord who both knew that Dan Garrets fictional exploits were actually non-fiction, and that he was missing a piece of alien technology that resembled a scarab, put two and two together in a feat of genuine intelligence. Once they discovered that the scarab could not be removed, and Jaime was insistent on the heroics Ted Kord made himself a suit, took some martial art classes and made his debut as the Other Blue Beetle™️. A mentor to Jaime, apparently.
