Marvel Revolt: The Beetle by FrischDVH on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Ava Jenkins was employed at Force Works in Pym's P.Y.M. Initiative (Potential Young Marvels). She was tasked with creating identities and powered weapons for people who completed the course.

Her designs were unimaginative (evoking criticism for copying Pym's design), and creepy. Some of her designs were Frog-Man, the Gibbon, Slyde, the Kangaroo, and the one she took with her when she left....the Beetle.

She got the Vulture interested in backing her completion of the suit in return for the Beetle's services in her gang war with Luke Cage. Jenkins agreed, and so the Beetle was born.
