Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)
As the original Blue Beetle lay dying, inventor/businessman Ted Kord swore to continue the fight against evil. Ted became the new Blue Beetle, armed with his wits, athletic abilities and inventions. Ted was an effective crimefighter, prankster, and became well-known as a member of the Justice League International.
EDIT 04/02/07 - Ted Kord was killed while investigating a conspiracy against the world's super-heroes. As a reward, he earned his own official DC Minimate.
