- Dan Garrett is the original version, an archaeologist who discovers and uses the Blue Beetle Scarab to fight crime.
- Ted Kord was his successor, who took up his mentor's mantle using martial arts and gadgetry when he couldn't unlock the scarab's power, eventually becoming a member of Justice League International, Living Assault Weapons and Super Buddies.
- Jaime Reyes is the current Beetle, a teenager who uses the scarab to construct an exo-skeleton and joins the Teen Titans.
