After an argument with his best friend Paco, Jamie Reyes decides to investigate the legacy of the Blue Beetle and find out why he really gained the Scarab, but in doing so discovers the dark truth about Ted Kord.
!!Tropes:
* BadassNormal: Unlike Jamie, Ted Kord couldn't get the Scarab to work for him, so he just relied on homemade gadgets.
* BaitAndSwitch: Jaime travels to a remote island and finds a man who looks like an older Ted Kord, who introduces himself ''as'' Ted Kord, and it looks like Batman's just being unnecessarily uncooperative with Jaime. Then it turns out, no, this isn't Ted. It's ''Jarvis'' Kord, Ted's EvilUncle.
* BeardOfEvil: Jarvis Kord, the villain of the piece, who looks nigh-identical to his nephew save for the beard.
* CallBack: In the first episode, Batman was hesitant to talk about the Blue Beetle before Jamie. Now we see why.
* CollapsingLair: When Jarvis is defeated, his entire island lair (which has a volcano on it) goes up.
* CoveredInGunge: Jaime winds up covered in filth after instructing the Scarab to get him into Ted's hidden base, and it does so by taking him through the Hub City sewers.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation:
** Comic Ted died from getting shot in the head. Since this would be far too graphic for a family friendly show, he gets to go out in a HeroicSacrifice destroying a rocket of his evil uncle's.
** Dan Garrett, the Beetle before Ted, if only by inference (since sacrificing his life to stop Jarvis Kord was how Dan went out, not Ted).
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Ted thought Jarvis was a good person to trust the Scarab to, figuring he'd get it to work. Jarvis used it to create an army of killer robots.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Paco, not knowing Jamie is Blue Beetle, and thinking they're just talking smack about superhero origins, accidentally mashes Jamie's insecurities and kickstarts the main plot.
* SecretIdentity: Judging by the fact Jaime is able to find Ted's secret lair underneath his company building, Ted's identity went out after his death.
* SkewedPriorities: Jaime pesters Batman for information about his predecessor in the middle of a fight, not even bothering to help.
