Jaime Reyes comes home to Palmera City with his degree and learns his family is losing their house. On a gig at Victoria Kord's mansion he meets her niece, Jenny. Jenny steals the Scarab, an alien artifact her aunt wants for the OMAC super-soldier program, and hands it to Jaime in a burger box. When he opens it, the Scarab fuses with him, turning him into Blue Beetle. With Jenny and Uncle Rudy, Jaime breaks into Kord and finds the secret lab of Ted Kord, Jenny's missing father. Victoria attacks the Reyes home, and Jaime's father dies. Captured on an island, Jaime faces Carapax, his aunt's soldier, and spares him. Carapax turns on Victoria, and the family escapes.
