The Beetle armor MK I is a fictional power-suit featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is associated with the character of the Beetle and first appeared in Strange Tales, Volume 1 #123 in August, 1964.
The MK I beetle armor was an insulated costume, helmet and set of wings developed by former mechanic Abner Jenkins. As a flying suit, it allowed Jenkins to fly through the air, perform aerial stunts and provided maneuverability. The gloves of the original armor had three extended finger tips equipped with suction cups, which aided him in acts of thievery. Jenkins wore this costume in the early years of his career during battles against the Human Torch, Spider-Man, and Daredevil.
The source of power behind the Beetle armor lied within the helmet. Daredevil discovered this during one of their fights and used the Beetle's own suction-cup fingers to remove his helmet, thus defeating him. (Daredevil 108)
