Jarvis Kord was the uncle of the second Blue Beetle, Ted Kord.
History
Jarvis was a robotic engineer and the family black sheep. He never got along with his brother Thomas and was surprized at how glad his nephew was at working with him. He made sure to never tell him what they were working on: strong, indestructible robots. Though Ted worked with him in the city, he built a secret lab on Pago Island with the help of his robots, associates and foreign bankrollers. He was never interested in sharing the power his robots would give him, so he faked his death in a fire.
Ted and his old teacher, Dan Garrett, found out about Pago Island, but were apprehended by robots as soon as they arrived. Jarvis planned to dispose of them as he had of his associates. Garrett outed himself as the Blue Beetle and fought the robots, but in the ensuing chaos Jarvis and Garrett were killed. Ted Kord vowed to continue the legacy of the Blue Beetle.
