Origin/Background: Growing up, Ted was extraordinarily bright. He was good at science, business, and everything else he tried. In college, he received degrees in Physics, English Lit, and Theoretical Mathematics. He considered joining his father's business, Kord Omniversal Research and Development, Inc, of Chicago, but overall, he had no real direction.

When Ted's uncle made an attempt to take over the world, Ted set out to stop him, recruiting the help of his archeology teacher Dan Garrett - the first Blue Beetle, who could call on superhuman powers from an ancient scarab he had found in Bialya. In the course of the adventure, Dan was fatally wounded and asked Ted to carry on the legacy of the Blue Beetle, passing the scarab onto him. However, Ted couldn't get the scarab to work for him, and eventually set it aside, electing to go ahead without it.

Ted trained himself to his physical peak, constructed an aerial vehicle affectionately nicknamed the "Bug", made himself a Blue Beetle costume, and set out to establish his own identity as a superhero, using his wit, agility, and a large number of gadgets to stop evildoers.

Origin/Background: Nick Kovak grew up surrounded by organized crime, drawn to the glamour of success beyond the modest life his father scraped by honestly. After his father was killed in an “accident”- one for which Nick felt responsible - he fled that world. He enlisted in the US Army under the name Nick Kelly, and eventually joined the FBI. The FBI placed him back in his old life, as an undercover agent in the Keystone City Mafia.

Kovak’s life took a bizarre turn the night one of his “co-workers” discovered his identity. The man was about to pull the trigger on him when an alien monster burst in, killing the attacker. As Nick fled, he was attacked by another creature, which drained his spinal fluid, leaving him for dead.

But Nick Kovak did not die. Instead, he awoke with the abilities to become completely invisible when in shadow and to see beyond the normally visible spectrum, from radar and microwaves on up through ultraviolet. Coupled with enhanced strength and reflexes, these abilities gave him an enormous stealth advantage at night.

Believing the Combine responsible for his attack, he donned commando armor and went to investigate, only to find that the same creatures were attacking there as well. After he and the Flash battled the creatures to save Linda Park (who immediately guessed his identity), Nick decided to keep his new identity and protect the city from the escalating mob war.

Combat Tactics: Argus is primarily a HTH combatant. If possible, he'll use his ability to blend into shadows to gain any advantage he can, before striking.

Personality/Combat Tactics: Argus was originally a suave, cool maverick. He’s quite articulate, and was prone to both smart alec, classy chatter and sarcastic repartee in the middle of combat. He had the cool rebel bit down pat - leather jacket, motorbike, tall dark stranger haircut, neat magic tricks, fancy French words, big self-confidence, charming smart mouth. He has become less fanciful as time went by, however, as he became closer to his father’s values. As he became more focused and businesslike, he stopped with the magic tricks and tended to dress like a made man or a spook, with black suit, shades and tie.

Argus is trained as a FBI special agent, and that shows. He acts with professionalism, carefully analyzing situations like a trained law-enforcement professional and counting on his training to get him out of bad situations. Being a sort of super-hero and being a LEO are different things, though, and he must often adapt. Due to this “I’m an experienced law enforcement professional and you’re not” vibe, he can easily come across as condescending.

Being very familiar with undercover work, Nick prefers Argus to remain a shadowy presence, operating in the night and staying under the radar. The main advantage of being Argus is that he can actually act and mete out some justice - not just stay there smiling during brutal crimes and participating in criminal activities as he must as an undercover agent.

Nick was haunted by deep guilt over the death of his father, and was torn between his father’s values (hard work, honesty, integrity, responsibility) and the privileged life he enjoyed as a daring criminal lieutenant. Juggling identities and the constant risk of death by execution wasn’t easy either. Now that the d’angelo empire has crashed and he has discovered the truth about his father’s death, things are a bit easier.

Argus will rarely pass up an occasion to say something snarky about the Flash (Wally West), usually to imply that he’s a showoff and an idiot.

Powers and Abilities: His “Argus vision” can see the truth within anything.More concretely, he has used it to detect the weak points of items - for instance the fault lines of an item that is going to fall apart, or the external ejection controls of a suit of power armour. He can also visualise the trajectory of objects; sense auras; decipher codes by looking at them; or parse raw data with his naked eyes to understand its significance.

Gaming Notes: The Argus vision can also be occasionally used, at the GM’s whim, to “highlight” important items and protagonists to provide clues to the player.

Personality/Character Traits:

Thanks Harkker, and good to here from you again, as it's been quite a while since you posted.

Actually I'd thought about doing a write-up for Gunfire, as I think I'm one of the few people that liked his comic, I just never got around to it.

There's a different thread were I started doing some Marvel conversions. As far as the Imperial Guard goes, you can use some of the Legion of Super Heroes (LoS) conversions I posted, as the original Imperial Guard were LoS "homage" characters.

Orign and Background: Tim Drake is the son of Jack and Janet Drake, coming from the same social class as Bruce Wayne. When he was a young child, he visited the circus for the first time with his parents. The Drakes asked the Flying Graysons for a photo together, resulting in a momentary bond between Dick Grayson and Tim Drake as they met for the first time.

After reaching the age of nine, Drake deduces the identities of Batman and Robin as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson after witnessing a gymnastic move by Robin that Grayson displayed while performing with the Flying Graysons. Noting that Batman has grown reckless and violent following the death of second Robin Jason Todd, who was murdered by the Joker, Drake decided to intervene and Batman eventually enlisted him as the third Robin after the death of his mother and crippling of his father. Jack Drake also appeared in Identity Crisis. When Jean Loring sent him a gun he used it in self-defense and killed Captain Boomerang, but at the last second, Captain Boomerang threw a boomerang that killed Jack Drake. As a result Tim became an orphan, continuing the long held tradition that Robin is an orphan.

Notes: I had him gaining 1.4 inventing points per level up to 10th level, 1.5 up until 14th level, and 1.6 up to his current level. I "spent" 4 inventing points. 1 on the Red Bird (when he was still Robin), 1 on his stun discs, 1 on his Para-Cape, and one on his current motorcycle.

My favorite Robin. Best detective in DC not named Batman or the Question. I might have gave him Heightened Int and a form of Weakness Detection . . . but then what do you takeaway. Thanks for the write up

I mean he can just have the staff, unless i'm mistaken his staff doesn't shoot fire or anything.

After reading Descrud's comments, and giving it some thought, I made changes to Red Robin's basic write-up, as Descrud's suggestions made sense.

Can you tell me when and where they changed the story to this? I'm a big fan of the Ditko Blue Beetle, have all the Charlton and D.C. issues, but haven't kept up with comics since the late '80s. In the D.C. series, the scarab was lost on Pago Island and Ted Kord never even touched it, much less tried to use it. Then it came back and was revealed to be some evil alien entity that tried to take over Ted and a resurrected Dan Garrett, but was destroyed.

Origin/Background: Jaime Reyes lives in El Paso, and attends Rio Grande High School. His best friend is Tye Longshadow.

In July 2015, on the night that Ted Kord, the original "Blue Beetle", died in an explosion in Kord Industries, Jaime stumbled upon the Scarab, which bonded to his spine. He believes that it was created by Kord, but it is actually of Reach origin. Though he has never personally met Kord, he has been widely informed that his predecessor was a good man. Shortly after he began his career, he met (on separate occasions) Peacemaker, Guy Gardner and Captain Atom, all of whom reported their findings to Nightwing.
