Batgirls? Superboys? Aquamen? Fie!
If Bugfuck Luchador has taught us anything, it's that redesigning Steve Ditko costumes is a great idea. Therefore! Beetlememe '06.

The most important lesson of the past year is that Ted Kord's greatest flaw was not his self-doubt, nor his love of cheesy steaky foods, nor even his inability to answer the most obvious of questions correctly (idiot); rather, it is that he was not bulletproof. I have thus rectified this through the use of electrorheostatic body armor (it's pseudoscientific!), which allows for both the freedom of movement and the not-getting-shotness so important to today's Beetle On The Go. Plus, it glows when it's turned on, so it's got that going for it.
The list:

Mars needs Beetles! Help Mars! Go young! Go old! Go female! Go hipster! (Oh, Blue Incident, I will never let you go.) Just go Beetle.
BEETLE!

I went the female route.
. . . yeah, I'll go away now.
Hurray for coincidences - I started drawing this at work, saw this post and decided to go ahead and finish it :D
I'd do a redesign but I like the new one and the old one is too classic! I was torn.

Cover of my current sketchbook.
These first two are old, but I'm linking them anyhow, 'cause everyone loves Zombie Ted. The first one is here, while the second one (which is technically more of an ensemble piece) is here.
Badness for this specific challenge (linking directly to ImageShack, since my LJ's locked):
HOT BEETLE-ON-BEETLE ACTION! Now with the goodness of grossly misshapen heads!
Also: random badly-drawn gender-swapping. Because it had to happen.
Times like this, I wish I had a scanner. Also, that 'talent' thing all the kids are talking about these days. Oh, well.
Re-posted, 'cause not only can I not draw, but I also can't use basic HTML. WHEE.

Also: Best. Meme. Ever. ^_^
