12:07 Black Beetle from Young Justice will forever be the best iteration of the character. He was an absolute menace in every scene he was in; like the Thawne to Jaime's Barry.
My first exposure to Blue Beetle was Young Justice and I LOVED his portrayal there. I loved the dynamic between Jaime and the Scarab. When Linkara posted his MASSIVE retrospective about ALL THREE Beetles, I fell in love with the character even more.
Yoo same too like season 2 whole invasion storyline was pretty good and really put alot of emphasis on the reach and the blue beetle/the scarab as a whole also black beetle was an absolute menace on that show
As a Black man I love seeing other cultures get their shine in these films. I love seeing how the family dynamics couple with the character’s development.
Thanks brother 🤝 I'm glad we Latinos can finally have a dope superhero that gets some recognition, it's about time (especially considering we're the largest minority in the USA). I love how we share Miles Morales tho 😂
So interesting, never knew The Brotherhood of Evil has looked like The Brotherhood of Mutants😂 I know that is not the case, but it was funny seeing the wrong pictures beeing used😅 Great work as always😄
As many I first learned about Blue Beetle from Batman: Brave and the bold then saw him in S2 of Young justice. He was my go to playable character in Injustice 2 I’ve always enjoyed his appearance and his personality in comics and on-screen.
This is the shining example of the fact that, when you put conjecture aside, changing a single or multiple characteristics and removing legacy characters doesn't ruin anything as long as there's a purpose and good writer behind it. Like, the writers are the most important part, or something
I hope this movie will be an instant success. Because this Blue Beetle has so many interesting lores and has it's own deep universe, similar to Green Lantern. But we he already what happened to Green Lantern 😅
A lot of people compare Jamie to Spider-Man,but I don't see it. If he's like Peter then it's only in how he zigs in every way Peter zags. Jamie trusts his identity to a lot of people,he works to plan for the future,and approaches things with a bit more of a clear head,unless something hits him personally,then he's on a rampage,although that's the case with any superhero. Jamie is more similar to someone like max steel.
The main comparison is because they are teenage superhero who were are overall normal teens who one day get superpowers as they try to deal with highschool while managing superhero stuff. Yes they ARE alot of things that are different between the two when you get into specifics and details but they are some things people can spot similar aspects between them. Even the way how they have a mentor/student dynamic are similars like MCU Ironman is to Spider-man and Batman is to Blue Beetle like in Brave and in the Bold and Justice League Action.
**YOUNG JUSTICE SEASON 2 BLUE BEETLE DEFIINITELY FLESHED OUT THE CHARACTER for me. Wish he and Static (virgil Hawkins) would get more screentime as the series went on. And I wanna see him partnering up with static and forming a great brotherly bond. I mean both are part of the teen titans ofcourse....soooo WHY NOT!**
One point about Dan Garrett, the first Blue Beetle. First published by Fox Comics in1940, he was that publisher's attempt to create a Superman like franchise, putting at the same time a comic book series, a newspaper strip, and a radio show.
is no one talking about the fact there was a photo of Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants slipped in when talking about the the Brotherhood of Evil?
Is Blue Beetle similar to Max Steel? Who do you think is his Marvel counterpart, Is it Darkhawk? Who do you think would win between Blue Beetle and Darkhawk? Can you do history of Darkhawk?
If max steel is that one kids show with the armor and robot partner then yes it is similar. I only ever saw my relatives watch it but I'd say they are very similar. When I saw what max steel could do I instantly thought of blue beetle
Can you do the history of magneto, zorro, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen
Fun fact, Guy Gardner’s Warrior powers were transferred to the Reyes character to make Blue Beetle. That’s why Guy’s natural powers don’t exist in the current continuity.
@@nikitasnomikos3930 I’m 59 year old ex comic book collector. About thirty years ago guy had his own title called warrior. This story happen when guy lost his yellow power ring.
@@nikitasnomikos3930 Back in the '90s Guy lost his ring, then got and lost a different ring, then found out he had alien DNA and gained the power to turn his body into any sort of weapon. This stayed the status quo for a surprising number of years, until it wasn't anymore. I doubt it's been mentioned since.

My favorite snacks I like to eat at the theater are m&ms. And like others, my first exposure to Blue beetle was in batman the brave and the bold. He was a pretty cool character but very underrated. I'm glad this character is getting some spotlight.
Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle is such an underrated character. 💯 I love him in Young Justice and specifically in JL vs Teen Titans, where he blasted Damian Wayne into dust at training. 😆
Personally i hope he and Starfire get a student and mentor relationship because i think those two would work well together. There has been foreshadowing to a degree
LOL What? When have they even EVER even interacted in such a way at all? Blue Beetle has a mentor and student relationship with Batman as seen Brave and in the Bold and Justice League Action, NOT AT ALL with starfire. Don't even know where you even got that from at all.
My favorite theater snacks are popcorn with a side of nachos cheese mixed with buttering flavor with the cheesy. Sahale Snacks are a hidden gem of chips best secondary snacks during the second act of the movie in theaters. Then washing down with either sprites-hi c flavor or Coca Cola Co. - Blueberry slurpee.
Yes, he won. Jaime's scarab, Kaji-Da is the most powerful weapon (scarab) of The Reach Empire which by the way is also magical (from Earth by powerful wizards in ancient Egypt). In Batman the brave and the bold a normal scarab warrior was shown taking care of several green lanterns at the same time and won. What makes them so dangerous is that they become one with the host. Blue beetle (Kaji-Da) defeated Doctor Fate (Nabu) and crushed his helmet with one hand in the Rebirth comics. He defeated Starro who had five yellow lantern rings. He defeated Omac prime who had the powers of most of the Justice league members, for example Wonder woman and Captain Atom. He took down both Superman and Batman at the same time when he was infected by the Batman who laughs. The infection just made Jaime evil but it didn't increase his power level. Josh trujillo from DC, the current writer of Blue beetle confirmed that Kaji-Da is the most powerful artifact/weapon in the whole DC universe.
He's wayyy more powerful than that. He can create anything and do anything. It's wayyy better than a lantern ring. Also compared to a lantern ring his buildings or creations stay permanently if he wants, without needing concentration or will power to maintain. You just need your imagination. He has adaptative strength. Basically he can adapt to any opponent thanks to the scarab sight, that analyse your molecular structure, genetic history, energy etc and adapt to it.
Good run down but I wish you covered the other Blue Beetles. I think you missed out on a moment. I like Reyes but I grew up Ted Kord Blue Beetle in the 90s. Still remember him getting destroyed by Doomsday. I want to know about them all. Also, the Magneto and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants image at 12:44 a mistake or was their a Marvel/DC crossover I missed? 🤔
LMAO!! 😂😂😂 At 12:44 when, mentioning "The Brotherhood of Evil", why does it instead, randomly show a couple of pictures of "The Brotherhood of Evil *MUTANTS* "; The Marvel Comics team of Evil Mutant supervillains and their leader Magneto, "the Master of Magnetism"?! 😮 I was about to trip out thinking that the Blue Beetle actually SOMEHOW fought an iconic team of villains from an entire other comic book Universe!! Let alone, DC's biggest rival, Marvel 😅 It's either a mindlessly sad mistake OR a hilariously glorious inside joke on the editors' part 🎉
Events surrounding the movie are weird (between the Hollywood strikes and James Gunn announcing a full reset), but I really just want this movie to do well and popularize Blue Beetle. I love both Ted Kord and Jamie Reyes (don't really know much about Dan Garrett), but I really grew up with Jamie. He was in a lot of the cartoons I watched growing up and I read him in Teen Titans (though I need to go back and read his solo runs). He's just a great character fitting into a great mantle. On another note I love seeing Superhero adaptions finally handling diversity better by uplifting beloved characters instead of forcing their own controversial race changes or pushing tokenism. In cases like Spider-Verse they're really adding personality and diversity to these characters that go behind skin color. Makes me once again have to ask DC to MAKE A STATIC SHOCK MOVIE! Seriously, how was Milestone media founded to boost representation from underrepresented groups in comics and published through DC yet the only adaptions they have are Static Shock and Young Justice (both of which are like PEAK comic book media but still).
the question is will ted kord's legacy as blue beetle be just as irrelevant as mar-vell's captain marvel, carol danvers' ms marvel, and hank pym's antman
Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle is definitely giving me Guyver vibes here. His scarab also reminds me of Kamen Rider Kabuto (since that character also uses an insect-themed transformation device).
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished? Can you do history of the Atom, Major_Force, Captain Atom, Plastique, the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Maxima, El-Dorado, Element Woman, Metamorpho, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?

Amazing!
Blue Beetle time!
You mixed up the brotherhood of evil mutants from Marvel in with the brotherhood of evil from DC. It happens. Good video.
Why was magneto in this video ? 😂
12:42 Is it just me, or is that the Brotherhood of Mutants from Marvel? (Not the Brotherhood of Evil from DC.) Lol 😂
My first exposure to Blue Beatle was in Batman: The Brave And The Bold. Ever since then, I thought he was a cool, very underrated character.
SAMEEEE
BRO Same!!!! then my second was young justice
Young Justice has a great take on Blue Beatle, no doubt about it. Definitely a top 5 contender.
Same here
SAME HERE, BRO!
Yeah, we accidentally added a couple images of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants while talking about the Brotherhood of Evil. That’s our bad! 🤷🏻♂️
How dare you! 😂 Love y’all!
That's okay. You gave lonenely neckbeards something to do
A crossover I wouldn’t mind seeing
12:07 Black Beetle from Young Justice will forever be the best iteration of the character. He was an absolute menace in every scene he was in; like the Thawne to Jaime's Barry.
It was me Jaime.
I agree Young Justice's version of Black Beetle is superior to the comic book version.
definitely. best version of blue beetle besides comics too
One word "Meat"
Yeah real shit
Batman Brave and the Bold introduced me to Jaime Reyes and yes, he immediately became one of my favorite characters.
My first exposure to Blue Beetle was Young Justice and I LOVED his portrayal there. I loved the dynamic between Jaime and the Scarab. When Linkara posted his MASSIVE retrospective about ALL THREE Beetles, I fell in love with the character even more.

@@wolfgang6442 Black Beetle was a BEAST.
Same
Me too. Jaime is funny and very likeable in Young Justice. And the scenes where he talks to himself (the scarab) is the best.
As a Black man I love seeing other cultures get their shine in these films. I love seeing how the family dynamics couple with the character’s development.
Thanks brother 🤝 I'm glad we Latinos can finally have a dope superhero that gets some recognition, it's about time (especially considering we're the largest minority in the USA). I love how we share Miles Morales tho 😂
@@lucasmateo1556 There’s imagination out there for all of us to have a hero. Much respect brother. 🤝
@@Marx1684 facts 💯 hoping Static shock is next to get a movie in the new DCU 🔥
Yeah I agree
"As a Black man" cringe
So interesting, never knew The Brotherhood of Evil has looked like The Brotherhood of Mutants😂
I know that is not the case, but it was funny seeing the wrong pictures beeing used😅
Great work as always😄
Yeah that was definitely Magneto and company🤣! Fire the editor!
ya i had t double take that part, lmao. A+ to the editors this week lol
It gave me a chuckle seeing that myself. Seeing that picture Magneto lol but explaining Blue Beetle .
I thought I was the only one that noticed 😅
I know DC and Marvel often have copycat characters, but the DC copycat really hits too close to home looking like Marvel's Magneto. 😅
I never knew Blue Beetle faced off against the Brotherhood of Evil (Mutants) 😂Can’t wait to see him fight Magneto
Ikr! I’m like man… He had to fight Dr. Polaris and Magneto!
As many I first learned about Blue Beetle from Batman: Brave and the bold then saw him in S2 of Young justice. He was my go to playable character in Injustice 2 I’ve always enjoyed his appearance and his personality in comics and on-screen.
Ah yes the infamous crossover of blue beetle and the Xmen villain magneto and his minions 😂
Man Blue Beetle is such an underrated character. I'm glad he is getting more love in recent years
This is the shining example of the fact that, when you put conjecture aside, changing a single or multiple characteristics and removing legacy characters doesn't ruin anything as long as there's a purpose and good writer behind it.
Like, the writers are the most important part, or something
A little mix up at 12:43, Arris. "The Brotherhood of Evil" was confused with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants."
I hope this movie will be an instant success. Because this Blue Beetle has so many interesting lores and has it's own deep universe, similar to Green Lantern. But we he already what happened to Green Lantern 😅

It's also sad that Ted Kord doesn't get enough respect
The main comparison is because they are teenage superhero who were are overall normal teens who one day get superpowers as they try to deal with highschool while managing superhero stuff. Yes they ARE alot of things that are different between the two when you get into specifics and details but they are some things people can spot similar aspects between them. Even the way how they have a mentor/student dynamic are similars like MCU Ironman is to Spider-man and Batman is to Blue Beetle like in Brave and in the Bold and Justice League Action.
I always felt that static was the dc version of spiderman. Sense he shares a lot of similarities to the webslinger.
@@Gadget-Walkmen Jamie never struggled with balancing school with being a superhero.
@@josiahthebrain8075 regardless most of my comprehension still stands.
**YOUNG JUSTICE SEASON 2 BLUE BEETLE DEFIINITELY FLESHED OUT THE CHARACTER for me. Wish he and Static (virgil Hawkins) would get more screentime as the series went on.

12:43
Did you notice you put the brotherhood of evil mutants?
Yup 😂
I love Blue Beetle. He is my favorite superhero and I don’t see that changing ever!!
Justice League vs Teen Titans was my first intro to Blue Beetle. Beating and humbling Damien makes him a great hero in my book.
Who besides me first got introduced to Blue Beetle in Batman the Brave & The Bold?
I did but also I had a dc encyclopedia thst I used to read a lot
Ted’s suit was really cool in Kingdom Come
Fun fact: the Blue beetle movie premiere in theaters, right after my birthday. So you know I'm gonna watch it.
One point about Dan Garrett, the first Blue Beetle. First published by Fox Comics in1940, he was that publisher's attempt to create a Superman like franchise, putting at the same time a comic book series, a newspaper strip, and a radio show.
Yes, I love when he fought the brotherhood of mutants
I would love to hear more about Dan Garret and Ted Kord. Especially Dan Garret as he’s the Blue Beetle I know the least about.
I am so happy that you have finally done a history of Blue Beetle, and I hope you have fun seeing the movie.
Season 2 of young justice (reach) really show how capable the scarab is. Black beetle was hulk that can take down some supernan villain
I feel season 2 of young justice really put alot of its viewers on to blue beetle and the reach as a whole and showed of is full potential
Jaime Reyes: "Blue Beetle at your service!"
I love the show so I hate to critique, but while speaking about the Brotherhood of Evil there were pictures of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
is no one talking about the fact there was a photo of Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants slipped in when talking about the the Brotherhood of Evil?
Is Blue Beetle similar to Max Steel? Who do you think is his Marvel counterpart, Is it Darkhawk? Who do you think would win between Blue Beetle and Darkhawk? Can you do history of Darkhawk?
He’s similar to daddy chill
If max steel is that one kids show with the armor and robot partner then yes it is similar. I only ever saw my relatives watch it but I'd say they are very similar. When I saw what max steel could do I instantly thought of blue beetle
That random picture of magneto😂 12:48
I first discovered Blue Beetle in Young Justice and have been hooked ever since! Such a cool character
Can you do the history of magneto, zorro, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen
12:43 = Wrong Broothhood of Evil
😂🤦😂🤦😂🤦😂🤦
That Brotherhood of Mutants graphic caught me off guard haha
12:48 Are we not going to talk about Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?
AT4W’s retrospective goes into so much more detail
Magneto trying to slide in to DC 😂😂
So are we going to talk about Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants being featured at all?
I learned about him when I was a little kid watching batman brave and the bold
I got blue beetle graduation day a couple days ago to prepare for the film, very exited for the film and comic
12:43 - 12:51 That's Magneto and the brotherhood of evil mutants
I'm pretty hyped for this movie! Blue beetle is pretty cool! I hope to see some Easter eggs about the former blue beetles!
Sameee 🔥💯
We got a good one!!
Once i saw Magneto, i immediately queued up Pitch Meetings... "whoops! Whoopsie!"
Why were so many images of the Brotherhood of Mutants used when you were talking about the Brotherhood of Evil?
Variant is upping their game as a channel with the skits
Wait wait! Wrong Brotherhood!
I’m pretty sure Blue Beatle never faced off against Magneto.
Fun fact, Guy Gardner’s Warrior powers were transferred to the Reyes character to make Blue Beetle. That’s why Guy’s natural powers don’t exist in the current continuity.
what do you mean?as far as i know Guy is a lantern.

As a hard-core comicbook lover I love these videos with the recommendation man❤😊.
Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle is such an underrated character. 💯

Personally i hope he and Starfire get a student and mentor relationship because i think those two would work well together.

12:44 i am so confused, why is the marvel brotherhood of evil mutants there 😭😭
My favorite theater snacks are popcorn with a side of nachos cheese mixed with buttering flavor with the cheesy. Sahale Snacks are a hidden gem of chips best secondary snacks during the second act of the movie in theaters. Then washing down with either sprites-hi c flavor or Coca Cola Co. - Blueberry slurpee.
I’ve been waiting for a Blue Beetle for well over 10 years. I hope it goes over well and I’m going to be geeking out at the premiere.
12:44 did you mean to put in Magnetos brotherhood
Just love that a super hero has my name
I just had to stop by the comments to see how many people were talking about the brotherhood of mutants after seeing magneto pop up in the video
12:43 sorry to point out the editing mistake, but it seems two images of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (MARVEL) was used 😬
12:42 Is it just me, or is that the Brotherhood of Mutants from Marvel? (Not the Brotherhood of Evil from DC.) Lol 😂
I had no idea blue beetle was so OP!!! He battled the Brotherhood of mutants!! Did he win?
Yes, he won. Jaime's scarab, Kaji-Da is the most powerful weapon (scarab) of The Reach Empire which by the way is also magical (from Earth by powerful wizards in ancient Egypt). In Batman the brave and the bold a normal scarab warrior was shown taking care of several green lanterns at the same time and won.
What makes them so dangerous is that they become one with the host. Blue beetle (Kaji-Da) defeated Doctor Fate (Nabu) and crushed his helmet with one hand in the Rebirth comics. He defeated Starro who had five yellow lantern rings. He defeated Omac prime who had the powers of most of the Justice league members, for example Wonder woman and Captain Atom. He took down both Superman and Batman at the same time when he was infected by the Batman who laughs.
The infection just made Jaime evil but it didn't increase his power level. Josh trujillo from DC, the current writer of Blue beetle confirmed that Kaji-Da is the most powerful artifact/weapon in the whole DC universe.
He's wayyy more powerful than that. He can create anything and do anything. It's wayyy better than a lantern ring. Also compared to a lantern ring his buildings or creations stay permanently if he wants, without needing concentration or will power to maintain. You just need your imagination. He has adaptative strength. Basically he can adapt to any opponent thanks to the scarab sight, that analyse your molecular structure, genetic history, energy etc and adapt to it.
This is sick I never realized how much he was like Spider-Man even his stories
I thought cars were the dominant species on the earth. And can't wait for this movie. Again getting some pretty big Guyver vibes from this movie.
12:45 Why are Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants there?
Uh oh the editor needs to be placed in the naughty pen
Good run down but I wish you covered the other Blue Beetles. I think you missed out on a moment. I like Reyes but I grew up Ted Kord Blue Beetle in the 90s. Still remember him getting destroyed by Doomsday. I want to know about them all.

That sucks it in the movies he's not from El Paso. I live in El Paso, that would be awesome if they kept that
Was the Botherhood of Evil Mutants (TM) meant to show up here, or was that an error in editing somehow? @12:45
10:46 ted exists in new 52 lex and ted had a conversation about owning kord industries
I'm a fan of Dan Garrett, Ted Kord, and Jamie Reyes.
I picked up the first two issues of the current ongoing series last week. Good stuff!
Can you please make a video about the old Blue Beetle
young justice made me love this character. seeing the movie today super excited
12:45 Blue Beatle fought Magneto? lmao
I didn’t know Magneto was a Blue Beetle villain
12:49 is that magneto or I’m buggin
LMAO!! 😂😂😂
At 12:44 when, mentioning "The Brotherhood of Evil", why does it instead, randomly show a couple of pictures of "The Brotherhood of Evil *MUTANTS* ";
The Marvel Comics team of Evil Mutant supervillains and their leader Magneto, "the Master of Magnetism"?! 😮
I was about to trip out thinking that the Blue Beetle actually SOMEHOW fought an iconic team of villains from an entire other comic book Universe!! Let alone, DC's biggest rival, Marvel 😅
It's either a mindlessly sad mistake OR a hilariously glorious inside joke on the editors' part 🎉
Magneto and the brotherhood of evil mutants are in DC now? 😂
My favorite part of any history video on Variants page is the powers and abilities 😂😂
GO EL PASO TEXAS!!!! 💙🖤
Obviously knew about him in the comics. 1st real exposure to him was Young Justice. Holy frigging cow is he awesome in that!!!
Events surrounding the movie are weird (between the Hollywood strikes and James Gunn announcing a full reset), but I really just want this movie to do well and popularize Blue Beetle. I love both Ted Kord and Jamie Reyes (don't really know much about Dan Garrett), but I really grew up with Jamie. He was in a lot of the cartoons I watched growing up and I read him in Teen Titans (though I need to go back and read his solo runs). He's just a great character fitting into a great mantle.
On another note I love seeing Superhero adaptions finally handling diversity better by uplifting beloved characters instead of forcing their own controversial race changes or pushing tokenism. In cases like Spider-Verse they're really adding personality and diversity to these characters that go behind skin color. Makes me once again have to ask DC to MAKE A STATIC SHOCK MOVIE! Seriously, how was Milestone media founded to boost representation from underrepresented groups in comics and published through DC yet the only adaptions they have are Static Shock and Young Justice (both of which are like PEAK comic book media but still).
the question is will ted kord's legacy as blue beetle be just as irrelevant as mar-vell's captain marvel, carol danvers' ms marvel, and hank pym's antman
Blue and Gold are the best team for me, but I do like the reach tech story. And m&m's in your popcorn, I am in your debt. 🍿😁
Spiderman + guyver = blue beetle
Awesome character
Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle is definitely giving me Guyver vibes here. His scarab also reminds me of Kamen Rider Kabuto (since that character also uses an insect-themed transformation device).
12:47 uhmmm isnt that magneto?
12:42 - 12:50 is that the Brotherhood from x-men? That is clearly magneto.
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Can you do history of the Atom, Major_Force, Captain Atom, Plastique, the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Maxima, El-Dorado, Element Woman, Metamorpho, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
Will be watching this movie
12:47 is that magneto
12:45 wait wut? The Blue Beetle fought Magneto?
I am so ready for the B&B Theater to open up by my house in Red Oak
LETS GOOO, BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Can we get a video of your best/favorite masks in comic books. Rorschach gotta be on there.
