5. Blue Beetle
With all the shows DC has at the moment, the one gap they haven’t filled is the teenage superhero.
Since Spider-Man’s creation, the teen hero has been reliably great, and the source of many great characters. And one of the most recent to capture the public’s heart was Jaime Reyes, alias the third Blue Beetle.
A teenager from El Paso, Texas, Jaime accidentally finds the blue scarab, and it attaches to his spine. But no, this isn’t going the straight-up body horror route, because – surprise, surprise – the scarab can generate a supersuit for Jaime to wear. An alien supersuit. Because the scarab is an alien creature that may or may not be trying to take control of Jaime’s mind. But that’s less worrisome than the supervillains, crime lords, and alien invasions Jaime has to stop every day.
A great character with a great longform story and a fun supporting cast behind him, Jaime’d make a wonderful character to base a television series on.
