Marvel’sCaptain Americamay be famousfor punching Adolf Hitler in the face , but only DC’sBlue Beetlediscovered the nefarious - and Satanic - verity about the potentate ’s true identity . Steve Rogers ’s very first proceeds included a now - famous cover drawn by Jack Kirby of the Sentinel of Liberty bonk the Germany authoritarian on the jaw , which like a shot cement his place in comic volume account . But Rogers failed to discern a while of information have a go at it only to the Blue Beetle : in the DC Universe , Adolf Hitler is literally Satan .
The Blue Beetle is n’t as pop as Captain America today , but both characters spring up from the same Golden Age of Comics prison term period - and he really predated Steve Rogers , appearing inMystery Men Comics # 1 in 1939 . The Blue Beetle is also a legacy claim , belonging to three major characters over eighty yr : the Golden Age Dan Garrett , Silver Age Ted Kord , andfinally Jaime Reyes of the advanced geological era .

InBlue Beetle # 22 , theGolden Age Beetle ( Dan Garrett ) embarks on a mission to Nazi Germany and come up himself in a Nazi home office . Venturing in spite of appearance , he realizes he ’s in Hitler ’s own dwelling - and what he sees stuns him . Hitler ’s face begins to transform before his very eyes ; his skin turns a grim flushed and large horns grow on his forehead . “Impossible!“thinks Garrett . “It ca n’t be ! This is too absolutely fantastic!“Both Garrett and the lecturer witness Hitler ’s face shapeshifting into the Devil himself .
Absolutely no account follows as to why Hitler isthe DC equivalent of Mephisto(or just a simple-minded daemon ) in disguise , but events quickly intensify from there . Hitler tell apart Garrett , who peck up Hitler and tosses him against the wall before being fascinate by his guards . Garrett run by dodging the firing squad ’s shots , using Hitler as human shield , rive off his mustache and mailing it back to an ally in the United States . In curt , every Golden Age ridiculousness is crammed into the final few page of the issue .
Dan Garrett was finally replace as the Blue Beetle by Ted Kord who was in turn exchange by Jaime Reyes . Reyes ' suit is far more technologically ripe than either Garrett ’s or Kord ’s , but his adventures are still far more plausible than this European lark . Captain Americadefeated Hitlerwith one punch , but theBlue Beetlebeat him in a far more mortifying ( and bizarre ) manner .
