Publication history

Fictional character biography
editPaco is a friend of Jaime Reyes and Brenda Del Vecchio. After the former disappears, Paco joins the Posse, a benevolent street gang, and enters a relationship with fellow member Piñata. He later discovers that Brenda is the niece of influential crime boss La Dama.
In "The New 52" reboot, Paco temporarily gains abilities similar to Blue Beetle and becomes known as the Blood Beetle after being given a life-saving Transbiotic Antitrauma Unit (T.A.U.). This persona is later removed after Blue Beetle's scarab Khaji Da removes the T.A.U. and gives Paco a tissue transplant.
