The new Blue Beetle movie is set to bring the azure insect to the big screen, with the hero himself possibly becoming a big part of the cinematic DC Universe. Ironically, the heroic legacy of this character was once owned by a rival publisher: Charlton Comics. Several other DC mainstays were also a part of Charlton’s stable, and one might be ready for his own cinematic debut.Besides Blue Beetle, the biggest Charlton heroes are Captain Atom and The Question. Although they’re both originally published by Charlton and now have ties to the Justice League, they couldn’t be any more different. Featuring different tones, scopes and tiers of importance in the DC Universe, Captain Atom and The Question both have rather divergent potential to get their own live-action movies.Like the Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle, The Question (who debuted in Blue Beetle #1) was created by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. The character was envisioned as a somewhat less radical version of the writer/artist’s earlier creation, Mr. A. This character was an embodiment of Ditko’s own belief in the Objectivist teachings of Ayn Rand. Thus, his stories were many times moral crusades involving exact definitions of right and wrong. Instead of typical superhero tales with active protagonists, Mr. A’s comics had him as more of a philosophical premise, with the character acting as a host or narrator.RELATED: How Blue Beetle Beat Miles Morales At His Own Game
