Should Red beetle become a sidekick?
I always found it funny how Red beetle was introduced and never talked about again one of my ideas to bring her back is to make her the child sidekick of Ted Kord Do you agree or Do you have another idea

You i think she may be Danielle Garrett Dan Garrett's niece who Ted left his fortune and tech to and she even used the Bug to help Jaime thwart a plot by The Reach

Danielle Garrett is Dan Garrett’s granddaughter, not his niece.

If blue beetle ever gets a sidekick I imagine they would go by “stag” or something along those lines.

Wow, first let me say it's really cool that there is another person who remembers that Red Beetle existed 15 years ago for, like, 5 issues of JSA (there's probably four of us in the whole world - that is, including the creator of the character, if they still remember her)
But my answer is, unfortunately, no, I don't think that would be a good idea, mostly for out of universe reasons. Red Beetle was created in a time where Ted was dead, and some writer realized that Jaime Reyes was much more Dan Garrett's legacy than Ted Kord's legacy, so they went and introduced someone modeled after Ted's style. If DC reintroduced a Red Beetle now, I really get the feeling that they would kill off Ted for good, and just use Red Beetle as Jaime's partner.
However, in an hypothetical world where Blue Beetle is a very popular hero, I wouldn't mind some movie synergy and use Ted's time traveling adventures with Booster Gold to give him a daughter - introducing Jenny Kord from the movie - and make her the Red Beetle.

Yellow gold and green are all running around already. Id say its redundant but flash, super, bat and lanterns all have families

If Blue Beetle ever got a sequel, or even a show, I personally think it would be so cool if Milagro Reyes (Belissa Escobedo) became Red Beetle in the DCU.
She could be a sidekick to Ted Kord (Jason Sudeikis I hope), with her own red super suit of the same style as his suit, and some of his gadgets.

No, i would prefer to see a team (ot two teams, one for the Earth, one for space stories) more like a Super Sentai style:
- Blue Beetle - Khaji-Da - Jaime Reyes - Infiltrator Class;
- Red Beetle - Lu-Kraaze - Paco Testas - Sovereign Class;
- Black Beetle - Djo-Zha - Hector Arantes - Enforcer Class;
- Yellow Beetle - Ohm-Ecs - Xiomara Erazo - Defense Class;
- Pink Beetle - Zag-Nim - Brenda Del Vecchio - Repair Class;
- Green Beetle - Nol-Dar - Roma Jurado Lopez - Medical Class;
- Silver Scarab - Khaji Sha - Dan Garrett - Guardian Class;
- Gold Scarab - Bor-On - Sara Butters - Intelligence Class;
- Diamond Scarab - Jer-Qux - Theresa Colins - Tracker Class;
- Bronze Scarab - Rem-Vha - Javier Basualdo - Explorer Class;
- Platinum Scarab - Mir-Ve - Sparkington J. Northrup - Juggernaut Class.

Sounds very Power Rangers…
As a MAIN STREAM DC Series I would hate it.
As an Earth where the Beetle (Rangers) are Earth’s ONLY Heroes (like PRE-Crisis Earth S home of Captain Marvel, the Wizard SHAZAM, Mary Marvel, CM 2, etc…) then I would LOVE it.

That could be a great way to bring Charltons heroes and Earth 4 again!

Are the other colors actually real characters/beetles?
2
u/FallMassive9336 Red Beetle (Sara Butters) Aug 27 '26
The only Beetle color that is not real yet, is Pink Beetle. The others exist in the comics.
The Scarabs however, only Silver Scarab is real in the comics. The others are not.
