Seriously though, guys, gals... Who the heck it the RED BEETLE??
Who is she?!?
This (random) mysterious new character appeared from nowhere in the pages of DC's JSA All-Stars.
I haven't been following the title (I'm more of a trade reader), but the apparition of this new character intrigued me.
I'm a Blue Beetle fan, as you could guess from either my various Beetle-related reviews or my parodies here.
So I ask you, if you followed this series, who is she? Is she related to any of the 3 Blue Beetles?
At first I thought it was Dan Garrett's niece, from the Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle series.
From what I got she already revealed her iD and is supposed to be "Sara Butters".
She seems young but not too much (~Dick Grayon's age), she jokes around and seems to be one of the good guys.
She appeared from the start as part of the extended JSA cast, nobody seems to doubt her or be surprised by her in the team. (the JSA, a Golden Age/Legacy team kind of group)
Oh and she uses "tech" to fight crime.
Like Ted's B.B.Gun:
Oh, and is that the Bug she's using here?
So, who is she?!
Where does she come from? How does she fit in Dan/Ted/Jaime's history?
Is she related to DC's upcoming big epic summer storyline, Flashpoint?
What with all the alternate universe-altering time travel and stuff...
Or is she related to the on-going Black Beetle plot from Jaime/Blue Beetle back-up features & the Booster Gold series?
Black Beetle's real identity is still unknown but as been shown lying to be Hector, a "Joshua", Jaime from the future and more.
The Black Beetle has been shown trying to gather various colored Beetles across time and space, by travelling through time and altering events.
But why would a Red Beetle show up in the JSA title and never be mentioned in Booster Gold?
(good storytelling/planning stuff in advance?)
Anyway, I'm currently reading a book about some history of the Blue Beetles ("The Blue Beetle: Companion") and I had this on my mind today.
I hope we'll get some answers someday!(rather than seeing this mysterious gal crimefighter disappear in the land of forgotten character, and never seeing her potential come to be)
