The Beetles(Blue Beetle, Green Beetle, and Black Beetle) are all people with one thing in common: they have been enhanced by a Reach tech Scarab. The Scarab provides AI as well as a power armor that connects them directly to their alien masters. All of them have the same powers, (barring Green Beetle's Martian abilities), so any feat that one can do the others can do as well(to some extent).

Anyway, let's start with the easiest one, Green Beetle

"Does my smile displease?"
B'arzz O'oomm is a Martian, and possesses telekinesis, density shifting, shapeshifting, and telepathy in addition to the powers imbued by the Scarab(of course this carries with it a weakness to fire). He was picked up by a far ranging Scarab sent to Mars, and so became an agent of the Reach and a critical spy for their cause. He would be a double agent, pretending to be good to gain the trust of Earth's heroes while subtly machinating to bring Blue Beetle back on mode(that is to say, a servant of the Reach)

Green ragdolls Black here and shows some impressive footwork in catching Black's blade with his feet and then tossing him away. Now, it's worth noting he was only pretending to fight Black and Black wasn't trying to win, but they put up enough of a show that the team didn't notice their farce, so I don't think it's too problematic. Also, you can see the primary close range weapon of the Beetles, their blade, in this gif.

Green shows off his telekinesis here by tossing a pretty big chunk of earth at Black
Spoiler: click to toggle

He turns intangible and turns his lower half into large tentacles
Spoiler: click to toggle

He is able to cut into Black Beetle's armor. Said armor is strong enough to withstand a blast that would destroy Mount Justice as per the Scarab's AI(said about Blue's armor, but Blue's armor is the same as the other Beetles')
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can speed up his flight using the Scarab jetpack
Spoiler: click to toggle

He uses his phasing to escape a ring of fire and displays another typical Beetle weapon, the sonic cannon, to one shot Batgirl and Impulse
Spoiler: click to toggle

He's unharmed by Beast Boy's elephant form right on top of him and proceeds to throw him off easily
Spoiler: click to toggle

He uses TK to overpower Black Beetle
Spoiler: click to toggle

He has blasts capable of destroying large missiles from the Warworld
Spoiler: click to toggle


Next up, Black Beetle

I knew you'd use that pic for Green Beetle. EVERYONE loves that smile.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

"I'm sorry your fellow prisoners and their saviors fled. I was looking forward to eighteen against one!" (and a billion other quotes, honestly. This guy drops the best one liners. The second picture for him may also be a bit edited :p )

Black Beetle is a warrior for the Reach. Very little is known about his origins, but it is likely that, since he is of the same species as the rest of the Reach, he is not mind controlled and is in fact working for the Reach willingly. He serves as brute muscle for the Reach's operations, but he has taken control of the situation when he deemed that his commanders were inept.


Superboy can rip tanks apart easily. Wondergirl can tear off two enormous blast doors right from their hinges. L'gann has superhuman strength of unknown degree. Batgirl and Robin carry explosives that decimate walls. All of that combined equals? Black Beetle not giving a single f***.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Black Beetle gives Superboy a lesson on how to punch here. It ends up with Superboy's weak punch bouncing off of Black Beetle and Black Beetle's punch knocking him out and burying his head in...Reach concrete
Spoiler: click to toggle

Look how generous he is with punching lessons! Now he does it with Wondergirl. An offguard kick only barely moves him here too
Spoiler: click to toggle

Bumblebee's blasts(can stun Mammoth, a superhuman stronger than Superboy) do nothing to Black and he promptly teaches her about his sonic blaster
Spoiler: click to toggle

A combined barrage of explosives from Batgirl and Robin doesn't even scratch his paintjob. L'gann trying to mash him accomplishes very little other than Black showing him his tasers and then owning him with the sonic cannon
Spoiler: click to toggle

Tasers do nothing to him, and he shows off how his staple cannon can emerge from his back. Said staple cannon one shots Robin too
Spoiler: click to toggle

Pounds the crap out of Wondergirl as he tries to show her through the wall
Spoiler: click to toggle

A prolonged sonic pummeling to the chest doesn't do much, and he spawns a cannon from his chest. Also, he pushed Blue's cannon away from his face
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can sprout extra limbs to club Blue Beetle's sides and cause him some serious pain, despite Blue being(as mentioned before) capable of surviving a mountain destroying explosion. Also, while making this thread, I noticed he also survived pressure at the bottom of the ocean)
Spoiler: click to toggle

His thrusters overpower Blue's and he slams him to the ground I swear this guy drips innuendos
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can form a giant cannon out of his forearms and chest and then deadlock Blue's beam. Blue's beam was stated to be capable of of killing the Terror Twins and Aqualad by the Scarab, so yeah, pretty impressive deadlock there
Spoiler: click to toggle

Maybe a super speedster would do better? Nope, Black's tracking systems are fast enough to track Impulse and he says that his Scarab processes faster than Impulse can run. Impulse is also quite quick. He's just as fast as Flash, and Flash in this show approaches the speed of light(though he doesn't quite clear it). It's worth noting Impulse wasn't probably going at his full speed here though
Spoiler: click to toggle

Lexcorp missile does nothing
Spoiler: click to toggle

Highpowered Lexcorp laser cutter cuts an inch into his armor...and then the armor just regenerates and Black is still not impressed
Spoiler: click to toggle

A plasma blast actually "calms the nerves" rather than hurt him. This blast was weaker than the one Blue used earlier, but still, it is a plasma blast.
Spoiler: click to toggle

The old "suck away his oxygen" trick doesn't do anything
Spoiler: click to toggle

Owns Impulse once more. It was likely Impulse was going full speed here as compared to before, he had plenty of time to accelerate
Spoiler: click to toggle

Shows his plasma cannon and blade
Spoiler: click to toggle

I should honestly have a section dedicated to his badass tanks. Even quick hardening cement applied directly to him doesn't do anything
Spoiler: click to toggle

Cuts through a big rock
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can sprout plasma cannons from his back
Spoiler: click to toggle

A combo attack with the Lexcorp laser, Blue's staples, and an explosive batarang inside of his armor finally breaks his armor. He just shrugs it off and regenerates the damage to the armor. It took him only five seconds to recover. Also, he was toying around in this fight
Spoiler: click to toggle

One of his blasts shreds through two layers of alien metal and he can also shoot flechettes that pierce through a manhole cover
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can tussle with Mongul, someone else who soloed the team and who is implied to be as tough as YJ Superman(Mongul snarks that Kryptonians weren't the only ones to have a red sun at home)
Spoiler: click to toggle

Miss Martian, with Artemis's help(both are disguised here), is able to stab Black and shock him from the inside out by attacking his cannon. This has little effect on Black beyond angering him
Spoiler: click to toggle

His sonic blast destroys a very large chunk of cement
Spoiler: click to toggle

Whips Superboy's butt one more time for good measure
Spoiler: click to toggle

"I will survive, because I'm not alone in this battle" (and image is edited once more, but whatever, I like both evil Beetle and good Beetle, so there :p )

Jaime Reyes was skating along one day when he saw an explosion from a building. From said explosion came out a piece of blue technology, the Scarab. As all superhero stories, the Scarab's touch transformed Jaime into the Blue Beetle, giving him the ability to form a powerful exoskeleton to fight in. The Scarab comes with its own AI, which is a brilliant tactician and capable of making calculations on the fly. Unfortunately, it's also bloodthirsty and logical to a fault, clashing with Jaime constantly. However, over time, their relationship has strengthened. While they may take jabs at each other, Jaime and the Scarab are now in perfect synch, rather than one dominating the other.

He flies through a wooden wall
Spoiler: click to toggle

A statement now. When Blue Beetle pins some thugs with his staples, in E4S2, the Scarab says
"That tactic would be more effective if you fired through bone"
So we know his staples can pierce bone at least.
The staples can be very large too
Spoiler: click to toggle

From E5S2, we know the Scarab can scan people's bodies
"Bio-feedback of the Maurice indicates hostile intent"
Both the sonic cannon and plasma cannon of Blue Beetle can obliterate large boulders
Spoiler: click to toggle

It takes both Terror Twins to hold him down, and even then he can still struggle a bit against them. The Terror Twins are far stronger than Superboy, for reference.
Spoiler: click to toggle

He knocks Tigress, the Terror Twins, and Icicle Jr on their butts and the Scarab was confident that they could eviscerate them if they wanted to. Jaime decided that a tactical retreat was a better idea, so the villains lived. Also, being frozen does little
Spoiler: click to toggle

The sonic cannon can also be used on the audible level to cause great pain
Spoiler: click to toggle

According to E9S2, the Scarab thinks that their plasma cannon, even on wide dispersal, could slay the Terror Twins, Icicle Jr, Tigress, and Aqualad all at once.
"Switch to plasma cannon, wide dispersal. Incinerate them all"
Another statement from the same episode on the subject of Blue surviving a bomb
"The traitor bluffs, and if not, I calculate we can survive the blast"
The blast in question was capable of doing this to a mountain
Spoiler: click to toggle

The armor forms maces that swat others away like nothing and even a blocked plasma blast hurts Aqualad
Spoiler: click to toggle

He actually manages to force Black Beetle's shoulders downard before hitting him pointblank with a sonic blast that's clearly stinging
Spoiler: click to toggle

While Black's swats to the midsection hurt, he's faring far better than any of the others, who got one shotted
Spoiler: click to toggle

When he slams Black into the ceiling, Black can't free himself
Spoiler: click to toggle

He matches Black nearly blow for blow and the blow that Black lands doesn't cut deep enough to do much
Spoiler: click to toggle

He's evenly matched with Black's strength
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can make a giant plasma cannon in case he needs more firepower
Spoiler: click to toggle

His Scarab can also regenerate itself, even from something as nasty as having one of the legs attached to the spine torn off
Spoiler: click to toggle

He was crushed by Red Volcano and came out of it fine(though he was unable to break out of the rock without help)
Spoiler: click to toggle

While the heat of the plasma cannon doesn't faze Red Volcano, the impressive part here is that the force of the Plasma Cannon turns Red Volcano into a meteor for a second there
Spoiler: click to toggle

He's engulfed in lava and totally fine
Spoiler: click to toggle

Even when the brunt of the sonic blast is being taken by Red Volcano, the bits that slip past shatter large stalagmites and threaten to destroy a large building
Spoiler: click to toggle

He can use sonic cannons from both arms, which makes the combined sonic attack even more powerful
Spoiler: click to toggle

Absolutely murders Red Volcano by drilling open his chassis and then blowing apart his innards with a plasma blast. Red Volcano was capable of soloing the team in Season One
Spoiler: click to toggle

Easily pins down Wondergirl
Spoiler: click to toggle

Batarang doesn't scratch his paint
Spoiler: click to toggle

Blue's thrusters keep him steady even when Wolf(who can match Superboy's strength) has trouble hanging on
Spoiler: click to toggle

He rips off the arm of a mech that easily lifted a safe and then blasts said safe quite far
Spoiler: click to toggle

He shreds said massive mech
Spoiler: click to toggle

Sleeping gas doesn't do a single thing and he one shots Batgirl
Spoiler: click to toggle

Predicts Impulse's movements and shoots him down
Spoiler: click to toggle


It is worth noting that after all of this, Blue Beetle goes into perfect synch with Scarab, greatly heightening his ability. However, his only feat here was doing...something with his tentacles that can make a weaker Scarab fall apart, which he used to defeat Black Beetle. Not really a combat feat, so I can't use it here. In any case, he should be more powerful than Black Beetle now.

I don't believe this is canon to YJ, but I don't care, this will go here for the sole fact that Blue Beetle kicked Damian's snotty a***
