Human: This is his biggest weakness, he's a nineteen year old human who has been given a giant responsibility and has to deal with a number of things that happen to a person his age, girls, family, work, the occasional villain trying to run some kind of weapon through him. The usual.
Powers:[/b] In the battle Billy was given the scarab from a dying Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) but the beetle was damaged so it's arsenel was severly cut short and sometimes unresponsive. Still talks...alot. It gives him limited time for flight and very basic battle equipment, blasters and defensive shield.
Abilities:(Different From Powers): Skilled martial artists (Still in training), intellect bordering on genius levels. Trained in Parkour by his step-brother, competent aviator and navigator (Zoot helps a lot on that one)
Weapons: Low Grade arsenal from the scarab: Non-lethal psionic guns, full body shield, limited flight at mach 3. BB Gun borrowed from the Beetle's nest under Kord Industries.
History:
Billy is the son of a former Air Force Sergeant, Samuel Williams and an "entrepenuer" Darla Williams and with three other brothers all of whom were good at a lot of things athletics wise, Billy was left with no choice but to be the "Smart One" Of his brothers. Choosing to read over be the jocks his brothers were. He enjoyed sports but when put in comparrison of his brothers he would always be that kid picked last for kick-ball or something.
His enjoyment for reading and the academic pursuit of life gave Marcus a mind which made him a target for several universities One of which would be his home in the years to come. But fate decided to throw some curveballs in his life.
His brothers were overly "Playful" growing up, from mental abuse to physical assault. Nothing serious, as brothers will go to points and stop, but it harmed Billy to the point where trust was hard to gain. He loves his brothers and they love him but that doesn't mean that Billy won't think twice about giving his brothers what for every now and again.
Due to troubles with both of them, Billy's parents divorced, His mother got the furniture, and other valuables, his father got the kids and a near empty house. Things were tight for a long time with his brothers and father; almost to a breaking point. The saving grace came when his father was assigned to a post in England.
Billy spent five years in England and there he made his mark in school with helping the school reach an unreached quota for each grade and was awarded several academic achievments one of which from Kord Industries Scholars grant from the UK branch. His brothers made their marks athletically playing football and soccer. His father gained some luck meeting his soon to be next wife Janine Samson, and her children Luke and Elizabeth.
After five years and very, very few visits from his mother Billy and his family came back to the US in the east coast of New York. Where his family took everything like fish to water and a few years later his father Married Janine and they were a big annoying family.
Years passed and fights happened, more between the new family and the one established by a bunch of guys but everything was alright. Billy got more active and began doing martial arts and free running, mostly to have a reason to get out of his house when the fights start. He was good at martial arts, his teacher and classmates noticed how willing he was to do any number of exercises despite not being skilled enough to do them well.
The battle came without notice to his family and the rest of the world. Billy was running from soldiers of the villains at the time and made his way to woods and hid. Until he found something in the woods. The dying body of someone in alien armor seemingly talking to himself. Billy came close to the body and was introduced to the 3rd Blue beetle; Jaime Reyes.
Billy tried hard to help Jaime but he didn't want to accept the fact that it was futile. This alone gave Billy a trait that the scarab responded to. Jaime told Billy that there was no choice...he was going to die and the Blue Beetle was still needed. Jaime released the scarab and gave it to Billy and then died.
Billy got Jaime to a hospital and stayed with his family till the battle was over. Then after graduation Billy decided to live up to the duty given to him. He moved to whatever was left of Hub City and enrolled in Hub University. Where he applied for some strange reason for an internship at Kord industries which gave him access to the building.
One night Billy felt compelled to the building and made his way to the ceo's office and found an entrance to an under the building, the secret hideout of the second blue beetle Ted Kord. Billy felt something at his back and then was met with an extreme shock. He tore off his hoodie and shirt he felt at his back and felt the scarab there. A dialogue began at that point.
"This isn't weird at all."
"I find it cramp."
"What?"
"I'm sorry was that out of line?"
"No I always find disembodied voices normal."
"I'm not disembodied, I'm in your body."
"What?"
"Billy I'm the scarab."
"Okay...please tell me this is either a dream or I'm going crazy."
After an hour of back and forth with Billy trying to say he's crazy and the scarab telling him he isn't. Billy and the scarab originally know as Zoot finally get it under control and discuss what's going on. Basically Jaime's dead and Blue Beetle was still needed. Billy was just given the torch. "Yippee..." Billy said.
Zoot and Billy worked on how to pull off him being the Blue Beetle. The armor wasn't accessible for Billy and only a limited amount of abilities could be used; blaster, flight, and shield Billy's identity would still be known. Until he looked on the 2nd Blue Beetle costume. He took it, altered it and "borrowed" some supplies from the company's R&D department. Zoot was able to make the transition slightly easier by making Billy hack into the state computers and made him the distant relative of the first and second Blue Beetle making him the heir to Kord industries, with the battle no body really cared who was related to who, they needed jobs and Billy was always willing to help. He made brought back the company and still acts only as the intern while still running the company.
A few months later Billy made the finishing touches to his costume, with a lot of backseat tailoring from zoot and looked on it with content. "When do we start?"
