* Finally Falls The Mighty! * The New Blue Beetle!

* 1st APPEARANCE of "BLUE BEETLE" (Theodore "TED" Kord)
Ted was a former student of Dan Garrett, and when they were investigating Ted's uncle Jarvis Kord, they learned Jarvis was working to create an army of androids to take over Earth. Garrett changed into Blue Beetle, but was killed in the battle. As he died, he passed on the responsibility of being Blue Beetle to Ted, but wasn't able to pass on the mystical scarab. Ted devised technological ways of fighting crime with a special flash gun, acrobatic fighting style and a large scarab shaped aircraft known as The Bug. He became an accomplished superhero and occasionally teamed up with The Question.
