Fan Casting Ted Kord in Blue Beetle: Homecoming

Ted Kord was the second hero to call himself Blue Beetle, successor to Dan Garrett and predecessor to Jaime Reyes. Garrett was his mentor and he vowed to take up the crime-fighting legacy, although when he found himself unable to activate the Blue Beetle Scarab he turned to science and martial arts instead. He is one of the smartest men in the DC Universe, and puts his inventions to public use through Kord Enterprises.
