Plot
Jaime Reyes, who just has finished college, returns home with lots of plans for his future, only to discover that his home is not exactly the way he left it. As Jaime seeks to find his place in the world, fate intervenes and suddenly he has in his hands an ancient relic of alien biotech: the Beetle. When the Beetle suddenly chooses Jaime as his symbiotic host, he equips him with incredible armor with extraordinary and unpredictable powers that will forever change his destiny and turn him into the Super Hero Blue Beetle.
