Capabilities[]
- Artificial intelligence: Khaji-Da possesses a high-level AI system, greater than most current human technology.
- Symbiotic synaptic interface: As part of it’s symbiotic bond, the scarab's nervous system is bonded to Jaime's, letting the two share their thoughts and emotions. The scarab communicates with Jaime as a voice in his mind, and no-one else can hear it. When armored, it acts as a HUD display, allowing Jaime to scan his surroundings and assess situations.

- Transformation: The scarab can create a blue suit of armor in response to Jaime's thoughts, or when it deems use of the armor necessary to protect its host, with the transformation usually burning off whatever Jaime is wearing. Once the scarab dispels the armor, it retracts back into Jaime's body.

- Super agility: The scarab has super reactive ability as shown when Jaime prevents OMAC from striking Jenny Kord.
- Construct creation: The scarab has the ability to construct any kind of tool or weapon imagined by its' host, such as scythes or blasters.
- Flight: The armor can create a pair of translucent plasma wings, enabling Jaime to fly and hover. They can also double as shields, should the need arise.
- Jet propulsion: When in flight, the armor can manifest a 'jet engine', enabling Jaime to fly at greater speed.
- Energy blasts: The scarab can shape and manipulate the energy it stores for a variety of effects, including firing energy blasts.
Behind the Scenes[]
The Blue Beetle Armor was designed by Mayes C. Rubeo and the team from Nine B Collective. The design team was inspired from his appearance in Infinite Crisis #3, the Injustice games, Young Justice, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. They had difficulty in creating the mask to fit Maridueña's full face but also allow him to be emotive, particularly for the mouth area. As such, the team had decided to merge the designs of organic alien technology and insectoid features within his suit.
