Blue Beetle's Bug

"The Bug" is a fictional hover-craft featured in comic books published by DC Comics. It is associated with the Blue Beetle line of comic titles. It first appeared in Captain Atom, Vol. 3 #86, which was published by Charlton Comics in June, 1967.

The Bug was developed by Kord Industries and was a hover-ship capable of atmospheric flight. It also had marine adaptability, enabling it to travel underwater. The Bug was 80% solar-powered and was also equipped with a mobile lab. It possessed various other tools including articulating claw arms, magnetic manipulators, defensive shielding and offensive electro-blast capabilities. The Bug had an auto-hover feature as well as a grappling line that the pilot could rappel down whenever they needed to exit the vehicle.

It was utilized by Ted Kord during his career as Blue Beetle. The Bug also served as an auxiliary craft for the Justice League International during Ted's time with the team. In most cases, only Ted himself ever piloted the Bug.
