Its amazing how quickly someone's life can change. All it can take is meeting the right person, getting that job interview or getting bitten by a genetically modified super-beetle. That's what happened to Roy Reilly on a trip to his father's laboratory. Roman Reilly had the pleasure of working for a company known as NakanoCorp, an engineering giant whose projects ran the gamut between industrial and chemical. One such project involved the genetic modification of animal species in order to produce superior versions of them with a view to apply it to humans as a supersoldier project. The beetle designated B-862 was one such example of this project and on that fateful day, it had escaped from its enclosure. All it takes is a chance encounter to change a life, a quirk of destiny. And that's what happened when B-862 sunk its fangs into Roy Reilly. His life changed forever.

He tried to deny his newfound power at first, hide from the responsibility that it gave him. All he wanted was to be normal, a normal teenager living a normal life. It was only after the death of his sister in a tragedy that Roy could have easily prevented with his powers that he realised he couldn't turn a blind eye any longer. Wracked with guilt and determined to honour his sister's legacy, he donned a costume and became the stunning Beetle-Man!

Three years on and he still continues his sworn promise to protect the innocent from danger at great personal cost, from missed opportunities to heart-wrenching betrayals. Even after three years, he has yet to strike the balance between his dual lives and even now he struggles to balance his college work, part-time job and social obligations alongside his superheroic responsibilities. No one ever said heroism got any easier.
