History
When the MK I Beetle Armor was trashed by Iron Man, Jenkins and the Tinkerer designed a newer version of the Beetle. The armor featured a battle computer that was capable of analyzing an opponents fighting style and was capable of predicting the persons action.
While retaining the suction cup features on the hands, the fingers were shortened to normal finger length, and the suit was now capable of projecting electrical discharges known as an Electro-Bite. The first version of this outfit suffered from one tragic flaw, the antennae on the helmet were tied into the power supply and if either were damaged the suit would short out.
Abner refined this in later versions.
The armor was improved by Justin Hammer using stolen Stark Technology and as such made him a target by Anthony Stark during the first Armor Wars. The suit was destroyed by one of Stark's Negator Packs.
Abner would have the suit rebuilt by the Tinkerer (although it was less sophisticated) and it was on par with his second version of the Mark II. Abner used this suit until he became Mach I, a member of the Thunderbolts.See Also
