WARNING: The following contains spoilers for DCeased: Hope at World's End #11 by Tom Taylor, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Rex Lokus, and Saida Temonfonte, on sale now.

DCeased: Hope at World's End acts as a precursor to the DCeased: Dead Planet series, focusing on how other heroes outside of the Justice League struggled to cope with the Blighted Ones and the spread of that Anti-Life virus across the planet.

Most notably, it offers a spotlight to many young heroes such as Stephanie Brown as Robin, Cassie Sandsmark as Wonder Girl and Jon Kent as Superboy. Damian Wayne's already acting as Batman after he lost most of the Bat-Family, which sets up the teens for when Superman and Wonder Woman eventually fall too. And in DCeased: Hope at World's End #11, there's another key youngster added to the mix and it's a powerhouse from the Young Justice cartoon: Blue Beetle.

Blue Beetle made a cameo in the last issue, but he could barely be noticed as Black Adam and Hawkman teleported their undead army to Nantucket where Damian was trying to round up thousands of refugees to take to Poison Ivy's garden. This time, though, Jaime is given a bigger role as he stands alongside the heroes, led by Talia al Ghul, now that Atom Smasher has been turned, providing a gigantic problem quite literally.

However, an executive decision is made and Black Manta -- a new arrival and surprising ally -- is charged with staving off Atom Smasher, while Jaime joins Jon, Cassie and Damian in trying to blast Black Adam away. Cassie asks him if Black Adam can crack his armor, to which Jamie replies, "I hope not." He apologizes in advance in case he's turned too, before unleashing his cannons on Black Adam in a nod towards his signature move on the Young Justice cartoon.

On that show, he enjoyed a prominent role, with his Scarab eventually being co-opted and turning him into an agent of the Reach. However, he would regain his senses and control of his armor, helping save Earth from invasion. Interestingly, at some point, Blue Beetle fans would like to know how Jaime got the mantle here, since Ted Kord was converted into a Blighted-One in his last appearance in the A Good Day to Die one-shot.

That said, while it's brief, it's a glorious shot of Jamie showing fearlessness against the villain as we're reminded of how much power the alien tech grants him.

Admittedly, Jamie doesn't fare too well as Adam swats him away before going after Jon. But he's quite resilient, plus his suit gives him abilities that make him a cosmic war machine. Accordingly, he sould be able to recover and re-enter the battle, as his fellow teens will need all hands on deck to save these refugees from being devoured.
