Blue Beetle

"Jaime Reyes--the new Blue Beetle--has already destroyed his parents' home, terrorized the girl he loves and nearly killed his best friend, all while under the control of the warmongering alien scarab that gives him his super powers. Leaving his native Texas behind, this reluctant teen hero searches for fellow metahumans who can teach him to manage his new abilities and override the scarab. Arriving in New York City, Jaime tracks down Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, Booster Gold and the enigmatic Mr. Bones for guidance but gets sidetracked by the villainous Stopwatch and the return of Blood Beetle. Jaime's discoveries transport him to the far reaches of outer space, where he's pushed to the limit when confronted by the scarab's previous owners, as well as an entire planet of alien warriors!"--Back cover.
