Description[]
DC Comics VS Miraculous! Which colorful bug is gonna get squished under pressure?
Interlude[]
Wiz: I’ll be honest, if I see some random foreign object on the ground, I’m not going to be the first to pick it up. However, sometimes this small incident leads to powerful superheroes!
Boomstick: But why do these two have to look like bugs? Bugs are fuckin nasty.
Wiz: Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle.
Boomstick: And Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the Miraculous Ladybug. He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick.
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Blue Beetle[]
Wiz: In 1939, a new superhero was introduced to the world. A man garbed in blue, with an alien device granting him supernatural abilities. This was Dan Garrett, the Blue Beetle.
Popup: We are focusing on Jaime Reyes instead of Garrett or Ted Kord because Reyes has all the other Blue Beetle’s powers, and more. Plus, his connection to Ladybug is much stronger than the other Beetles.
Boomstick: But we’re not talking about that guy. Or the guy who came after him. We’re talking about Jaime Reyes. Jaime was your average teenager, hanging out with friends, helping his dad at the garage, and picking fights with his sister. That was until one fateful day when he saw this blue scarab buried in a remote lot. Dude, what are you doing? That is a weird blue bug in a desert! Why would you pick it up?
Wiz: Call it fate, call it dumb luck, but Reyes pocketed the Scarab and kept it for himself. What he didn’t know was that it would come to life in the middle of the night and attach itself to him, choosing Reyes to be the next Blue Beetle.
Boomstick: Yeah, it turns out that that’s no ordinary blue bug, that is a weird alien hivemind thing that crash-landed on Earth after fighting Maxwell Lord and the wizard Shazam. And it also turns out that this specific Blue Beetle has now been detached from the hive mind, so it can operate out of free will. Yay?
Popup: The scarab is a part of The Reach, an alien empire who is hell-bent on conquering the universe. The Reach sent the scarab to Earth to find hosts and program them into the hive mind, but after two generations of hosts, it got separated from the hive mind.
Wiz: After Jaime gained his strange new powers, he was found by everybody’s favorite time-traveler Booster Gold, who basically said to go help Batman and kill this alien called the Brother Eye, thus solidifying his status as a worthy successor to the Blue Beetle legacy.
Boomstick: And what better way to do it than with a sick-ass suit of armor. The scarab can help Jaime grow a suit of armor that gives him the whole superhero shabang: Superhuman strength, speed, toughness, and it can also shape-shift into whatever Jaime needs. It can grow wings to fly, pincers and talons to claw people, shields capable of reflecting shots form Yellow Lanterns, and even spiky balls.
Wiz: Not only that, but the scarab can also act independently from Reyes and aid him in battle, like scanning enemies for weaknesses, creating force fields, hacking, cloaking, and even go intangible. Scarabs are ever-evolving creatures that can adapt to just about any situation, like the time he was fighting Supergirl, and the scarab created weapons made out of Kryptonite so it can harm her.
Boomsick: Even though the scarab can’t analyze magic the same way it can analyze other things, it can still absorb it, like the time it absorbed the magic of Eclipso, the being who had Maxwell Lord as a host. The scarab can even talk to Jaime, kind of. You see, only Jaime can her the bug, so whenever the scarab argues with Jaime in public, it looks like he’s going insane. Just like what I look like every time I see a bug.
Wiz: Boomstick, I didn’t know you were afraid of bugs.
Boomstick: No, I’m not afraid of bugs. They’re afraid of me. You can run, but you can’t hide, little critters!
Wiz: You do that. Whatever you’re doing. Anyway, the Blue Beetle’s powers allow for some insane feats. For instance, he was able to dodge blasts made from Tachyon particles, extra-dimensional particles that can movie faster than light, or about 670 million miles per hour.
Boomstick: Holy shit! No wonder Supergirl called him fast! Not to mention the fact that he’s kept up with some seriously heavy-hitters, like Lobo, who ate a city, Guy Gardner, who took a supernova to the face, and even Reverse-Flash, who survived Wally West’s Infinite Mass Punch, which we determined would be 2.6 octillion tons of TNT! How powerful is this guy?
Popup: Jaime has also survived hours of torture condensed into a few seconds through Eclipso.
Wiz: Powerful enough to be considered a threat by the Green Lanterns. Also, the scarab itself has survived a battle between the wizard Shazam and the Spectre, a being made out of eternity itself!
Boomstick: You’d think he’d fare better with any of the villains him and the Young Justice fight. He’s had his fair share of getting his ass kicked from the likes of Supergirl, a Green Lantern, and Lobo. Also, the scarab itself can’t tell the difference between enemies and heroes. Jesus Christ, did you even try?
Wiz: But that’s nothing to stop the next Blue Beetle. At the end of the day, he even made the Blue Beetles of the past proud. See Boomstick, bug superheroes can be cool.
Boomstick: uggggghhhh.
Blue Beetle: Scarab’s got your tech beat.
Cyborg: It’s the man, not the machine.
Blue Beetle: Got you beat there, too.
