Abner Jenkins was a skilled factory mechanic who constructed a sticky-fingered battle suit with fight capabilities to become a master thief. Early run-ins with Spider-Man and Daredevil convinced him he needed more power, resulting in a sleeker battle suit with more offensive capabilities and greater strength. Seeking fame, glory, and profit, Abe Jenkins spent several years as the armored villain called the Beetle.

Known Powers and Abilities:

Beetle wears a flight-enabled battle suit that provides him with several military-like weapons he cunningly uses to his advantage.
