Abilities: Ted has a genius-level intellect. He is an Olympic-level acrobat, and he is highly proficient with karate and aikido. He also has a great deal of experience with general espionage.
As the Blue Beetle, Ted’s suit is designed to provide him with protection. The suit’s designed to help repel attacks that would kill a normal guy, and it’s also got integrated circuitry that prevent someone from, say, tearing off his mask without his permission. The suit’s integrated circuitry also helps him interface with his ship, the Bug, acting almost as a set of keys.
The Bug is Ted’s pride and joy. It’s a beetle-shaped airship, and it is 80% solar powered. The Bug can operate in the air or in the water, and it is highly versatile. Ted’s constantly upgrading and tinkering with the Bug’s functionality, and it has a wide variety of functions to get him out of just about any trouble he might find himself in.
Blue Beetle is armed with the BB gun, a nonlethal gun that produces flashes of bright light and bursts of compressed air. He also possesses Baby Bugs, small bug-shaped surveillance robots.

Does anyone here want to collaborate on any scientific projects? Everything I can scrounge out here is so backwards, it’s not even funny. And I know funny.
I’m making a little bit of progress here and there with what we have available, but it’s really slow going. I know there are people here with computers. I can seriously make it worth your while if you let me at one for a few minutes. Please? I think I might be going through technology withdrawals.

[So Ted’s managed to create a very small remote-controlled flying version of his ship, the Bug, using materials he’s scrounged around Mayfield, as well as technology he’s borrowed here and there. He’s now taking it out for a test run. Unfortunately, the mini-Bug’s remote control was made out of parts of a cannibalized radio, and those parts are all starting to fail. It’s out of control!
Hey! Watch out!
[Ted’s waving his arms around frantically as the mini-Bug swoops down on its unsuspecting target--you.]
Get down! Get down! Watch your head!
…hey, if you’re alright, would you mind helping me stop this thing?
