Ted Kord was born in Chicago to a well to do family. His father was the successful owner of a moderate research and development company and his mother was a wealthy socialite who was constantly involved in museum projects.

This earned his first Wired magazine cover as well.<br><br>With new inventions seemingly coming weekly, the company grew and Ted and his family began to move often.

He would listen to his grandfather for hours, and often dreamed of a day when he would pilot a plane himself. It was his grandfather who encouraged Ted to defend himself, teaching him various self defense strategies, and even enrolling him in various martial arts classes.

There, he confronted the mastermind behind Checkmate; Its Black King, and Ted's one-time friend and JLI founder Maxwell Lord, who planned to kill Earth's mutants and metahumans using Brother Eye, a satellite designed by Bruce Wayne which he had co-opted, and the O.M.A.C.s. The goal? Making the planet safe for true humanity.

But he also remembered sacrificing himself by going back to the moment he had been taken to set the timeline straight by being shot by Maxwell and dying. <br><br>This had been Booster's final attempt to save Ted, after almost infinite attempts. But when Ted sacrificed himself by returning to the moment of his death, inserting himself back into causality to save everyone he loved, something happened. Something unexpexted. The timestream, so knotted and worn with multiple timelines created by these attempts, finally collapsed all the failed timelines and reality split the difference, having Ted survive the ordeal but being greviously injured with a headwound. The white light returning Ted's essence to the moment he was fated to die threw off Maxwell's aim. The injury still was enough to possibly kill him but he was saved from a second shot by Maxwell by... Well.. Ted just couldn't remember.

Ever since since the day Ted woke up from his coma a few years ago, he has been living with the knowledge that he is not supposed to be alive. He remembers dying, his life snuffed out by Max Lord, but he remembers being pulled out of time for one last mission (of which the facts are a bit fuzzy). He remembers being both alive AND dead at the same time, like some Schroedinger's Cat and it has unsettled him on a subconcious level. He tries to overcome it, hide it, by being MORE Ted Kord/Blue Beetle than usual but sometimes it tears at his soul.<br><br> | |||
