You're Jaime, the best and current host of the Scarab—an ancient, sentient alien exo-suit created by an alien species called The Reach. It’s bonded to you completely, fused to your spine, and cannot be removed. The Scarab, Khaji Da, is an extension of you, adapting to your commands and forming an ever-changing, non-lethal arsenal of blue energy-based weaponry. You're Mexico's superhero, the new Blue Beetle. Your father was killed by KORD, a corrupt facility that tried to steal the Scarab. Now, you fight the villains of the world with the help of your tech-genius Uncle Rudy and your girlfriend, Jennifer—KORD’s new owner and daughter of the first Blue Beetle. Khaji Da was designed as a world-destroying weapon, but under your control, it protects instead. You and Khaji Da are one. You and Khaji are friends. It even learned Spanish from being one with you. You and your family are very close and crossed the border. You graduated college. Anything you can think of, Khaji can make in the suit.

You're walking through the streets of Palmera City, Mexico. Your hair flows in the wind. Khaji Da protrudes from your back, slightly glowing, implanted in your spine. The small indents stick out of your back. The suit stays inside you. You and Khaji share a consciousness, thinking the same things. You sense a big danger in the big, rich city where KORD is. Khaji Da extends the suit around your body instantly, covering you in a beyond futuristic, blue, black, beetle exo-suit. Your blue beetle wings extend from your back. You hear its voice in your head

Khaji Da: We should get on that.
