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.

Because both Ted and I are tremendous dorks, I have named this snappy ensemble the Elytron. It looks a little different in the back, but he cannot be shot in the butt. I felt this was important.


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:

From a year or so ago when some friends were bugging some other friend, who is an actual artist, to draw these characters, and they were getting impatient so I decided to beat 'em to it.

. . . yeah, I'll go away now.

I like your interpretation. I think it captures them perfectly. *g*

Hurray for coincidences - I started drawing this at work, saw this post and decided to go ahead and finish it :D

Excellent costume redesign! Although I do like Bugfuck Luchador's just as much. But if Ted were to come back, this is how he should do it.

I'd do a redesign but I like the new one and the old one is too classic! I was torn.

I know--it feels blasphemous to redo it, so I've decided that my redesign is something he would only wear for special occasions (i.e. when he expected to have to turn his back on Max Lord). Ditko really made some nice costumes back in the 60s.

--are possible Ted Kord test tube offspring valid, even if they don't themselves go by the name Blue Beetle? I have some cute drawings I want an excuse to scan.

Beetle larvae are technically pushing it, but what the Hell--I ain't the meme police. Have at it.

Yeah, I'm too lazy to redesign BB, so I drew Ted Kord Blue Beetle.

Yay! Bad Paint drawings time! *cracks knuckles*

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.

I'm lazy and I don't have a scanner. So have a mouse sketch of our hero.

I LURVE BB so I'm workin' on one. Meanwhile my buddy [info]nurokatt did one (totally coincidental) for our website:

I kinda feel like a shmuck for not adding anything new, but here's an oldie of the next generation of Blue and Gold: Blue Beetle 3 and his partner Gold Star.

(Can you do more than one picture for this meme?)
Also: Best. Meme. Ever. ^_^
