The Beetle was Abe Jenkins original criminal idenity, until he reformed to become M.A.C.H 1 of the Thunderbolts. When Abe gave up to the police to serve time for his past crimes, such as a murder he committed. He was then taken by the CSA, who had him create a new powerful version of his original Beetle armor. In an effort to bring in Justin Hammer, which was only part of the truth. It was also a ploy by Henry Gyrich, who need a cansiter of hard air from Roxxon, to cover his secret plan to kill all super powered beings. After Gyrich was blackmailed into hiding the truth from the public, the Beetle armor was put into storage, but was then later taken by an operative of the V-battalion. The amor was given to a former criminal Leila Davis, once known as Hardshell. Leila was the widow of the Ringer, another foe of Spider-man. Leila became Hardshell to get revenge on Spider-man for the death of her husband with a group of other villains. Eventually she reunited with her husband who had been turned into a cyborg, but the two could not stay happy, as the Ringer could not survive in his new form. She ended up getting recruited for the Redeemers, because of her connection with Abner Jenkins.
