The Life and Times of a Wrench Wench

Artemis and Kaldur know (or at least, Kaldur did know) how to defeat Black Beetle - and possibly the Reach. Maybe they’re not conscious of it yet (if Kaldur is conscious at all), but they know a way to beat him.

Sorcery.

No, I mean the answer is literally sorcery. In “Darkest”, Kaldur takes down Blue Beetle with his sorcery - and he’s surprised about it, and even states “I was not sure that would work.” Assuming that the sorcery affected the scarab and not actually Jaime, then Black Beetle should be susceptible to it too.

Here’s hoping that Artemis can remember this in time (or Aqualad is able remember anything in time) and they are able to use this when it come to defeating Black Beetle

Oh my god I’m so happy you brought this up, because the reason (in Jaime’s first Blue Beetle comic - DCnU, what DCnU) that the Scarab didn’t take over Jaime (or anybody else) properly, was that it had been exposed to magic on Earth and this sort of fried its circuitry.

Which meant that Jaime was able to stay in control and eventually subvert the Scarab (free will! whoo!).

I have no idea. How this will play out in Young Justice, or even if any of it is still applicable.

Further reason they need Traci to be one of the pod kids.

Seriously though, how are they gonna defeat The Reach without the Reyes family and Paco and Brenda (and La Dama!).  They can’t.

Unless they introduce Jaime’s family, Bart’s bad future will come into being.

#That’s why he went to El Paso #Bart was trying to force Jaime to bring his family into the narrative #because HE KNOWS how important they are

Except in Bart’s bad future, the Reyes didn’t save the world, so Bart couldn’t have known how important the Reyes are ;p

But seriously.  Bring on the Reyes, Young Justice writers, Bring. Them. On.

(AND TRACI.  Traci 13 for all the wins \o/)

No, but see, in Bart’s bad future, Jaime traded himself for their safety or something, which caused Bad Things to happen.  And then the Reyes fought back and were pretty awesome, but because they weren’t all working together it failed.  And Bart knows that they’ll make everything awesome if only they become part of the narrative and work with the team.

Crap, I’ve lost all control of my headcanons, haven’t I?
