Who is the blue beetle in dc comics?

Blue Beetle is the shared name of three distinct superheroes appearing in American comic books since 1939. The character was originally created by Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski and Fox Comics, and later became part of Charlton Comics' lineup before being acquired by DC Comics in 1983. The first Blue Beetle was Dan Garret (later spelled Dan Garrett), who initially gained superpowers from a special vitamin, a concept later retconned to gaining powers from a 'sacred scarab'. The original Blue Beetle was featured in his own comic series as well as a weekly radio serial, establishing the character's presence in multiple media. The second Blue Beetle, created by Charlton Comics, continued the legacy of the name. DC Comics has since used the name for three distinct characters, each with their own unique stories and interpretations within the DC Universe.
