Jaime Reyes

Jaime has an acute sense of responsibility for his immediate family and various friends, though he complains about having to sort out their various problems.

Jaime Reyes is a sweet kid. Even Guy Gardner likes him! He’s altruistic: he does the super-hero thing alone even before he meets the team. He’s very private about his emotions and Bart has to ask him questions to know he feels bad about having no mentor. He knows he looks weird when he seems to be talking to himself yet he doesn’t stop to explain his behavior to other people. He refuses to let the Scarab hurt Maurice, even though Maurice is an abusive guy, and he prefers to turn him in. He disapproves of digital piracy.

Jaime is very laid-back during small missions. He just enjoys the moment. He can be reckless at times: when Tye phones him in the middle of the night, he jumps through the window to save him! He’s also very aware of his environment: in ‘Happy New Year’, he’s the one who tells Beast Boy he needs a shower. He enjoys skateboarding.

Jaime can use long-term vision. When he realizes that the scarab may turn him into a monster, he decides to get rid of it, even though the problems won’t happen before a few decades. He’s also perceptive: in ‘Salvage’, he guesses at once why Conner wants to leave and spend time with him.

Jaime knows what he wants. When he decides to get rid of the scarab, he won’t change his mind, even if the surgery happens to be painful. Also, arriving on time at school is important to him.

Due to being bonded with Khaji Da, Jaime and the Scarab can share their thoughts and emotions with each other. Jaime can talk with the Scarab telepathically, hearing it as a voice in his head, and this can also be used to block out telepathic attacks.

The Scarab can scan people who Jaime comes across, informing him of any major physical conditions, identifying metahumans, and letting Jaime know of the being's strengths, weaknesses, and energy signature. By scanning for a specific target's energy signature, the Scarab can track said target from at least a five-mile radius.

The Scarab can easily connect into technological systems and take control of them, even infecting and destroying OMAC Prime by tricking him into absorbing its energy and hacking it from the inside.

Khaji Da grants Jaime a minor healing factor, letting him regenerate from wounds much faster than a normal human.
