History

Originally known as Conrad Carapax, Carapax is now an android. Created by Ted Kord's uncle Jarvis, Carapax was one of the Blue Beetle's oldest villains. He is still operational even after Kord's death. He was recently hired by Masked Marauder along with several other old Blue Beetle foes to attack Jaime Reyes. By then, Carapax had increased the size of his body and converted all of his mechanical systems to steam power so that he'd be less vulnerable to electical attack. The new Blue Beetle was able to crack his hull and deactivate him.^[1].

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Steam based mechanical strength (formerly electrical based). Attachable weapon systems. Armored hull.

Notes

Carapax has had a recent upswing in popularity having made an appearance in both the penultimate issue of Blue Beetle, and in Batman: The Brave and the Bold # 1, where he fought Batman and Aquaman. Interestingly Blue Beetle did not appear in that first issue of the comic based on the cartoon series, even though he is heavily featured on the show and Carapax is Blue Beetle villain.
