David Martinez: The Blue Beetle

Summary:

Instead of heading right home the day he and his mother are attacked, David leaves the hospital and walks outside the city. It's a place he likes to visit because of how big and close the stars look while he's there. The environment gives him a chance to relax, but it also makes him reflect on how bleak everything looks. With his mom gone, his chances of being able to live a happy life are significantly bleaker than they were before.

But that changes when a star seems to get closer and closer to the earth.

When something crashes on the earth, David is the closest person to the site. And rather than leave it be, David decides to go closer and check it out. And what he finds is a big metal bug-looking thing. It's a device.

One that crawls and attaches itself to David when he gets too close. And once David is covered in the armor of the Scarab, his destiny changes forever.

Notes:

I own none of the franchises listed in this fanfic.

Explanation:

Before encountering the Scarab, David possessed average physical attributes. His strength and speed were decent, allowing him to handle basic tasks. His stamina and agility were above average, enabling him to endure physical exertion and move with relative ease. However, his precision was lacking, resulting in occasional errors in judgment. In terms of durability, he had an average resistance to damage.

 

After merging with the Scarab and benefiting from the Scarab-enhanced Sandevistan, David's abilities underwent a significant improvement. His strength and speed were amplified, granting him enhanced physical power and incredible swiftness. His stamina and agility reached peak levels, enabling him to engage in prolonged activities without tiring and move with extraordinary dexterity. While his precision saw a moderate improvement, his overall combat effectiveness and control over his abilities were greatly enhanced.

 

Moreover, the Scarab's modifications to the Sandevistan allowed David to utilize its time-manipulating capabilities at an increased frequency. Previously limited to using it eight times a day, the Scarab's improvements pushed his limit to fifty uses per day, with the added bonus of 500 uses when fully armored. This upgrade provided David with greater flexibility and adaptability during combat scenarios.

 

Furthermore, Ra Kajit, the Scarab's consciousness, resolved all issues with the Sandevistan implant. David no longer required medication or experienced strain from using the enhanced cybernetic augmentation. This significant improvement allowed David to focus solely on utilizing his newfound abilities without fear of negative side effects.

 

With his heightened physical attributes, improved Sandevistan, and a newfound bond with Ra Kajit, David becomes an unstoppable force in his quest for justice and survival in the cyberpunk world.
