in the final issue of "blue beetle" (vol. 2), nadia, one of jaime reyes' tech supports, is killed by the khaji da revolutionary army, a subversive group of reach infiltrators inspired by jaime's scarab. hector, nadia's brother, angrily blames jaime and leaves the country. it is revealed that hector has bonded with reach technology taken from the invaders, potentially granting him the same powers as jaime, and that he has taken the alias "joshua" based on "djo zha" the previous owner of his scarab, and a member of the kdra. joshua is the name used by the black beetle in his earliest appearances. the use of hector is intended to cause speculation regarding the black beetle character, as future storylines evolve regarding the character. when black beetle finally confronts jamie, he claims that he is indeed hector, blaming jamie for nadia's death, but instantly retracts this statement, instead stating that he in fact killed hector and stole his technology. in the following issue, he claims to be jaime's future self, driven mad after being attacked by a brain-damaged milagro.
