Part 5/9:
The Scarab Takes Control
In a twist of fate, Jennifer manages to steal the Scarab and, in her haste to escape, entrusts it to Jaime, warning him never to open the box. However, familial curiosity leads to disastrous consequences—Jaime accidentally activates the Scarab, which bonds with him, transforming him into the superhero Blue Beetle.
As Jaime grapples with his new identity and responsibilities, he discovers that the Scarab possesses advanced AI, capable of augmenting his abilities. Shortly after, he learns of the Scarab’s origin and its connection to Jennifer's father, who had once donned the mantle of Blue Beetle.
