used for intercontinental travel at supersonic speed. It was also 90% solar powered. Later models also had energy weapons of various types, from lasers to plasma. The last two models were capable of reaching orbit and all models could operate underwater. No depth was ever given that they could go to, but one model Bug was seen operating on the sea floor after going through an underwater volcano. All models were remotely controllable from controls built into Kord's gloves. He also built flight pads similar to Mister Miracle's flight discs used throughout the entire Extreme Justice run and claimed to Barbara Gordon that he could keep the Birds of Prey jet flying 24-7 with technology based on the New Gods' Mother Boxes. As a Black Lantern, Blue Beetle is equipped with a "decayed", damaged version of the Bug, and black, power ring-derived constructs of his Blue Beetle suit and his BB gun. This iteration of the BB gun is an aggressive, rather than a defensive, weapon, able to pierce the powerful shields in the Supernova suit. Other versions Ted Kord appears in Kingdom Come as one of Batman's generals before the former is killed. Additionally, Kord was able to access the scarab, which clad him in knight-like armor. A Wild West-inspired incarnation of Ted Kord appears Justice Riders as an inventor who teams up with Booster Gold. A future incarnation of Ted Kord appears in Justice League America Annual #5. Having allowed his health and business ventures to fall apart and sold the rights to his name, the stress of these factors cause him to suffer a psychotic breakdown and attack his former team. An Earth-3 incarnation of Ted Kord appears in Countdown to Final Crisis. Several alternative incarnations of Ted Kord appear in Countdown: Arena, most prominently an anthropomorphic blue beetle named Ted who serves as the pet of Mr. and Mrs. Kord from Earth-33 who, along with Daniel Garrett of Earth-39 and the Scarab of Earth-26, are forced to fight for a role in Monarch's army. He is later devoured by the Scarab. In other media Television Ted Kord appears in the Smallville episode "Booster", portrayed by Sebastian Spence. This version did not take up the mantle of the Blue Beetle from Dan Garrett, who had died after failing to control the scarab. Kord attempts to use the device for good, but it bonds to Jaime Reyes.
