Jaime Reyes is the an adventurer known as Blue Beetle, bonded to the artifact known as Khaji Da.
History
Jaime Reyes was once caught up in a battle between super-human gangsters and found the blue scarab Khaji Da at the scene. When he examined it, the scarab bonded to him and covered him in impregnable armor. After escaping the gang war, he learnt that the scarab could not be removed and it began speaking in his mind. He learnt that it was created by the conqueror alien race known as the Reach, in order to take over the mind of its host and use them as a fifth column to make their conquest easier.[1]
Jaime however soon discovered that Khaji Da had been damaged and couldn't take over his mind because of it. He started using it for heroics, but it would create dangerous weapons for him most of the time, due to it being built for battle, often leading to a clash of wills to keep control over them.[1]
As the most powerful wave of Infinite Crisis struck, realities were torn asunder and cast adrift into the Bleed. This resulted in Gotham City of Earth-19 and Gotham of Earth-0, which were adrift in the Bleed, to be merged together. Jaime joined other champions to fight back against the threat endangering the multiverse.[1]
