Meet Ted Kord (or as Suzie Dibny calls him, "Teddy"). He's smarter than you are. You know he's smarter. He knows he's smarter. And he's not afraid to tell you that he's smarter.
Mr. Kord made his fortune in arms manufacturing. The "genius bomb"? His. Electrically-charged plasma bullets? His. Genetic tracer missiles? You get the idea!
When "legitimate" (although highly unethical) avenues of commerce no longer stoked his fire, he turned to the highly lucrative field of super-villiany. Armed with a vast array of highly illegal technology and his airtank, the "Scarab", Ted Kord became the Black Beetle!
Not long after, the Black Beetle formed a loose association with the Power Posse. An association he recently took to the next level when he shot then team leader Max Lord in the head, thus, becoming the Power Posse's new leader.
Here we see Beetle posing with two of his favorite teammates/strippers: Tiffany and Suzie.
