DC Universe Online has added a brand new Ally, Blue Beetle. His arrival coincides with the DC film, and can help you take down your enemies and even help your allies. The DCUO team also has a roadmap update, with details on the next few months to come.
If you add him to your collection of allies, you'll be able to summon Blue Beetle during combat to help you out by using his beams of energy to help defeat your enemies. He has an ability called Aggression Motivator that will mark a target for you and your group, and when you attack the target you'll get a heal, a power boost, or a supercharge boost. Blue Beetle also has Infiltrator Mode, which will increase your critical weapon chance when you use a weapon buff ability. He'll be a very strategic Ally for your groups, with a dash of the element of surprise.
