History[]
Former mechanic Abner Jenkins turned to a life of crime to add an element of excitement to his dull and boring existence. Using his knack for mechanical engineering and aerodynamics to create an insect-inspired battlesuit, Jenkins sought to become an overnight sensation by challenging the Human Torch and the Thing as the Beetle, believing that defeating two of the Fantastic Four would make him forever infamous. The Beetle would find his true arch-nemesis in the form of Spider-Man, who first met him after he kidnapped the Human Torch's girlfriend and would be his perennial foil in the months and years to come. In more recent times, Beetle has reformed and joined the Thunderbolts, a superhero team of ex-villains.
