History:
The Scarlet Beetles are normal beetles that are mutated to possess giant size (10’), human intelligence, and speech. The original Scarlet Beetle was sent on a rampage to wreak havoc and hopefully kill Pym. Instead, Pym removed its intelligence and shrank it to normal size. The scientists of the Bratislava Complex continued to grow and train Scarlet Beetles. They are used to patrol the unused section of the Complex and eliminate intruders. A band of them was killed by the Avengers during the invasion of the Bratislava Complex.
