Background
Jimmy "James" Tyler was born in Detroit, Michigan as an anti-social outcast who was often treated like a bug always getting stepped on. In high school he had troubles with getting dates, making friends, and being extremely gullible. After school Jimmy would always go home in City Center where he lives with his 45-year old grandma, Alicia James. She was getting up in age and Jimmy always made sure he was there to look out for her; he thought him and his grandmas as both "widows" since Alicia's husband died of lung cancer and Jimmy's dad never seen him a day he was born. So the only woman he had in his life was his grandma.
Appearance
As James Tyler: James stands a height of 5 feet 5 inches. He wears his hair in a sloppy, unkempt design and he can often be spotted wearing his favorite short-sleeve green dress shirt with a white long-sleeve thermal underneath.
As Bugg: When James is spotted as Bugg he is an inch higher standing at 5 feet 6 inches and is wearing his notable brown and orange costume with long 3 inch antennas spouting from the top of his mask with green two-way mirror eye lenses.
Personality
Bugg as an empowered superhuman is very confident and cocky about the things hes capable of and can be very immature at times. He is both sarcastic and a wise-cracking superhero with a knack to always piss of opponents in hopes of them messing up and cause themselves to do the dumbest things, but his smart-mouth can be a bit harsh and actually cause himself to let his guard down and make him vulnerable to surprise attacks. When Bugg is in his civilian identity of James Tyler he acts often shy and sometimes a little sarcastic to further separate his personality as Bugg and keep people from making the assumption that James is actually Bugg (primarily due to a spike of YouTube showcasing Bugg and how jokey and smart-mouthed he is).
Bugg: Point of Origin
The media is always talking about seeing aliens, crop circles, and "little green men" everywhere, but this alien was NO joke! One day the nice sunny afternoon went from light to dark and it started raining fire. Alien spaceships then started popping up all over the city and landing in the surrounding neighborhoods, The Champions reported it was the alien race, The Qularr and they were looking for something having "scavengers" search nearby buildings and streets. Jimmy happened to be walking home from school when this was all going down, a force field went up trapping the Qularr in one place but sadly civilians were trapped inside the field with the Qularr. Jimmy didn't know what to do but hide so he ducked into a nearby alley.
Jimmy ducked inside they alley and hid behind a dumpster hoping that he would be safe from the invading aliens. Jimmy was so scared that apparently he didn't feel a "Firebug" land on the back of his neck its giant needle-like horn and jabbed it inside Jimmy's neck injecting him with a poison that caused him to pass out. Jimmy's unconscious body was retrieved by the Logistical Emergency Assistance Foundation (LEAF) and was taken to one of their makeshift clinics where he quickly recovered and got well again. Jimmy was transported back home to his Aunt Alicia and they were told to stay indoors until this invasion is over. After a whole 24 hours The Champions made a public service announcement saying that the Qularr are retreating and Earth is safe. Everyone cheered so loud it could be heard from outside everyone except Jimmy whose neck started to feel like it was set on fire.
Becoming a School Journalist
James Tyler A.K.A Bugg, has been through a lot in his new career as a costumed crime-fighter and has been coming up with a lot of poor excuses for why he seems to disappear when a fight between Bugg and another super-powered foe unfolds. James has decided to become a journalist for his school, James knew that even though a school journalist usually prints articles about school-related topics like sports, clubs, etc. but recently James' school at Westside High has promoted that the kids may print articles relating to superhuman activity as long as they remain monitored by law-enforcement of any kind, that was James thought that being a journalist can make a perfect cover-up for his strange disappearances.
James and the rest of students have thought of the winged avenger known as, Bugg as the school's hero and protector and luck James he seemed to be a perfect fit for reporting any of his actions with superhumans due to him being always being a "Bugboy". James immediately accepted the position being that it would easy for him to report Bugg's latest activities in Millennium City (being that James is actually the masked insect, Bugg). That was when James became a school journalist, reporting super-powered activities in Millennium City especially those caused/or prevented by Bugg.
New Suit
Bugg has made his mark in the world by getting tiny articles and pictures in recent issues of SuperWorld! magazine and in the Westside High school newspaper. James Tyler A.K.A Bugg overheard many students and friends say its time for Bugg to change his costume saying his old one looks: "ugly" James refused to let these comments get to him and continued to wear the old outdated suit his first appeared in.
James one day heard a ARGENT roaming the parking lot of Dynamic Labs stealing weapons and equipment, suiting up James now Bugg springs into action and fends off the ARGENT agents. Bugg is outnumbered and outgunned but refuses to be defeated and uses his insectile powers and fire manipulation to defeat all the ARGENT agents however a Cyborg corners Bugg and ambushes him with gunfire and explosives which completely obliterates Bugg's costume, he manages to deactivate the Cyborg and flee the scene before the cops come and realizes that he really is gonna need a new suit.
Powers and Abilities
- Superhuman Strength: Jimmy's insect physiology allows him to lift up to 10 tons and throw things that are quite bigger then him with ease.
- Superhuman Speed: Not at fast as a speedster but Jimmy can run at a the pace of that of an Olympic track runner.
- Superhuman Agility: Quite rare in Qularr history, Jimmy has the agility of a cat making him quite untouchable.
- Superhuman Durability: Bugg's durability is probably the best thing about him. Bugg is capable of being thrown through a wall and walk it off likes its nothing. He once took a punch from the Omicron-powered Ripper and barely had his ribs broken as well as walked it off with only a minor bruise which healed in about 24 hours.
- Superhuman Stamina: As a side-effect of the Firebug venom, Bugg can physically exert himself for a full 24 hours until fatigue from certain toxins and poisons begin to set in.
- Superhuman Flexibility: Bugg's flexibility rivals that of a gymnast's. He can achieve and pose imaginable and even squeeze through the tightest of spaces, except those that only a mouse can fit through.
- Superhuman Equilibrium: Bugg possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. He has developed a unique fighting style that made full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium.
- Superhuman Leaping Ability: Much like a grasshopper, Bugg can jump at tremendous heights. This is done by Bugg using his power of Superhuman Strength to push against the ground and perform and mighty leap.
- Form of the Insect: Bugg has developed a unique fighting by combining his superhuman strength, agility, equilibrium to best his opponents in hand-to-hand combat. He has bested Shinryoku, Master of the Burning Chi technique by using his unique fighting style thus thanks to the intelligent mind of Shinryoku he named it, Form of the Insect.
- Fire Manipulation: After being stung by the Firebug in the alley that day gave Jimmy the ability to control fire. Bend it, Project it, and Control it
- Flight: With the help of his retractable wings, Jimmy can fly at supersonic speeds.
- Wall-Crawling: Jimmy has little prick-like spikes on the palms of his hands which allow him to crawl on walls. But this requires complete concentration or he could fall.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Jimmy's new powers allow him to heal at a super fast rate, he can heal from bullet wounds in under 2 seconds. He has difficulty regenerating from plasma and particle-based damage, but other than that Bugg can heal from wounds within 24 hours.
- Super-Hearing: Jimmy has expert hearing since the Qularr lack the perfect eyesight to see everything but using their advanced hearing as substitutes.
- Retractable Claws: Much like a cat Jimmy has retractable claws which he uses as an offense weapon.
- Hyper-Vision: For when his danger-sense is on the fritz. Bugg possesses a "Hyper-Vision" that allows him to slow down time (through his eyes) and quickly evade attacks. The only limitation is someone, or the attacker has to be in front of Bugg in order for this power to work, but due to Bugg's enhanced hearing he is capable of turning around quick if an attack came from behind.
- Bugg-Sense: Bugg possesses a danger-sense that allows him to evade danger in a matter of seconds. Tiny hairs cover his body and when they sense a threat they send an impulse to Bugg's brain telling him to dodge that surprise attack.
- Genius-level Intellect: James is very smart for being only 15 years old. As Bugg, James has created the "Bugbots" accidentally by just playing around with some components he found in his grandma's basement and he has also enhanced the effects of the Hex-Shield by also making it extremely resilient against missiles and energy blasts.
- Qularr Metabolism: Bugg being that he is a hybrid between human and Qularr he possesses a Qularr Metabolism that makes him immune to strange pheromones, toxins, and poisons.
- Understanding Qularr Knowledge and Language: Seeing how Bugg is half Qularr now he can understand all Qularr knowledge such as their weaponry and understand and speak their fellow language.
Former Power(s)
- Symbiotic Exoskeleton: Jimmy also has a retractable exoskeleton which enables him to be invulnerable against bullets and lasers, but not completely invulnerable. Recently lost this power due to low blood sugar making it incapable of ever creating the exoskeleton again.

Weaknesses
- Insecticides: Ironically possessing the physiology of an insect has its disadvantages. One is that Jimmy is vulnerable to pesticides like RAID! this can severely weaken him and possibly kill him. Since most people wouldn't expect this as a weakness its unknown to most and never worries about a villain armed with a can of bug spray on them
- Qularr-Cide: Thanks to Bugg's half-Qularr DNA he is vulnerable to this special chemical that is hazardous to the Qularr.
- Secret Identity: One of Bugg's TRUE weaknesses. Bugg wears a full mask for reason as much as he love to wear a cowl for when a lovely lady were to lay a smooch across his lips, he can't. If his identity were to be revealed he would be devastated. His friends and family would know who he was and he was blamed responsible for the death of a friend's parents.
- Lack in Self-Confidence: Bugg maybe willing to help and protect others but secretly his true weakness is lack in self-confidence believing that he doesn't have a place in the hero world considering that most adults would say the same.
Bugg. Ready for Duty
- Power-Dampeners: Power-Dampeners can completely/or temporarily dampen Bugg's alien DNA and leaving only the dormant human gene alive and active, rendering him powerless for the time being.
- Plasma and Particle Damage: Bugg's healing factor works at tremendous rates but when he is faced with laser swords or any use of plasma/and or particle attacks, it takes Bugg awhile to heal from these attacks. When he was first sliced with a laser sword of a VIPER agent it took 15-20 minutes for Bugg to heal from the attack since it left his skin boiling and blistering from the attack.
Equipment
- Set of Qularr Energy Pistols: Jimmy has a pair of Qularr Energy Pistols his keeps in a desk in his Grandma's basement. He rarely uses them due to vowing never carry or use a gun of any kind. Unless COMPLETELY necessary.
- Bugg Antennae: The Antennae on Bugg's cowl aren't just for design purposes but they have special psychic inhibitors which block off the use of mind control and hypnosis of most psychics and mentalists, these were built shortly after Bugg's run-in with PSI which left him with massive headaches and migraines he soon healed from.
- Cell Phone: Mainly used to keep in touch at home or with allies of any kind.
- Camera: Just in case an investigation comes up Jimmy carries a miniature camera in his utility belt.
- Bugbots: The Bugbots are a recent addition to Bugg's arsenal. These miniture heroes may be small but carry alot of firepower.
- Camcorder: When out of costume, James Tyler carries a camcorder for any sorts of investigations that requires him to be "heroic" without the use of a insect-themed brown and tan costume.
- Holo-Hex "Honeycomb" Shield: Bugg recently acquired an energy shield from a crate of VIPER weaponry in Westside. The shield is labeled and branded as "Holo-Hex" Energy Shield, which Bugg often calls the "Honeycomb" shield, due to it being composed of 12 or more holographic hexagons.
The Sky Buggy
On a Tuesday night January 15th 2014, Bugg receives a call from PRIMUS that now is his time to prove himself as a superhero and is given permission to go to Monster Island. Monster Island is the "savage land" of man-animal hybrids that roam the plains of special island thats located not far from Asia, their creator is no other than Dr. Moreau, a mad-man that infuses human DNA into animal test subjects and thus causes the creation of many monstrosities that need to be contained, the alien race known as the Qularr have also been camping out north of the island on an isolated beach where they work on their flea-shaped ships and start working on numerous experiments and devices. Bugg is given a special PRIMUS-issue "Grav-Bike" that he can use for quick transportation which is faster than his "bug wings". The bike is outfitted with a cloaking device, missiles, and force fields. With this bike Bugg can always be on the prowl and vigilante ready to get to a crime in a speed of light.

He is background is unknown but all that is known is he is capable of draining heroes and villains of their powers and abilities WITHOUT gaining their weaknesses as well. He met Bugg during his escape from Westside Penitentiary. The only well known information on Bloodleech is that he was once a worker at VIPER who fell into a tank of genetically-altered leeches and he slipped on some nearby water and fell into the tank where the leeches bit him and drank his blood to the point that his DNA soon adapted to the strange chemical enzymes mutated his body entirely by having his Metagene activated and turn him into a humanoid monstrosity known as, The Bloodleech and has wrecked havoc ever since he even made Bugg retire from superheroics for short time due to him draining Bugg of all his powers at one point.

John was soon nicknamed, Bull and became the Muscle Man of VIPER until leaving to pursue better opportunities like catching and killing superheroes, Bull later crossed paths with Bugg after he foiled his attempts of robbing Millennium City National Bank. Bull has since becoming one of the most powerful nemeses within Bugg's rogues gallery.

Onomatopoeia (Sherman Watts)
Sherman Watts was a low-life crook who found himself always robbing mom-and-pop stores and sometimes banks and he would always get caught and sent to prison by the brat known as, Bugg. One day Watts was sent but was quickly bailed out by an anonymous person who supplied Watts with the proper tech needed to squash the insect and that was a brown briefcase with a insulated black-and-white leather suit that had a sound-wave insignia on it as well as a mouth piece that would allow Sherman to scream and yell with a sonic shriek and finally a note reading "You are now Onomatopoeia. With this equipment you shall serve as a worthy threat against "Bugg" now go show me what you can do". Sherman Watts then became Onomatopoeia, a villain with a sonic scream that is capable of overpowering Bugg with much ease and little action. 
- Sonic Scream
White Rabbit (Alicia Carter)
White Rabbit is a young girl named, Alicia Carter. Alicia adopted the identity of White Rabbit after discovering her mutant ability of Pheromone Emission and Control, she later adopted the look of a rabbit topped off with bunny ears and a tail, she then realized that her White Rabbit costume also made people think she was an actual rabbit, cute and playful while under the control of her pheromones which she now nicknamed, Bunny Perfume. White Rabbit met Bugg after catching the hero unmasking in a alley after stopping a previous crime from earlier, she then grew attracted to the hero after (from what she claims) catching a glimpse of his "abs". White Rabbit soon met Bugg again after she used her powers to rob a jewelry store and tried to use her "bunny perfume" against Bugg which proved ineffective being that Bugg's metabolism rendered him immune to the pheromones effects after that Bugg later turned her in to the police. White Rabbit has remained a neutral enemy to Bugg mainly only showing up at random, the public also believes the two are a couple being that photographers caught the two teens kissing on several occasions. (Bugg got his first kiss from White Rabbit, but shhh don't tell her that!)

The Insidious 7
The Insidious 7 is composed of lesser known villains in Millennium City. These villains have all crossed paths with Bugg and decided to form a group that would combine their natural skills and powers to take out the bug. (no pun intended)
Members:
- Swarm Queen: Swarm Queen is the team leader of the Insidious 7
- Vengeance: Background is unknown but has a great range of Telekinesis. Being capable of projecting a force field the size of a door.
- Green Dragon: Villainous kung fu master who's an anti-Western bigot. Nemesis of Redsnake and Bugg
- Herculan: Originally from the faraway planet of the Fassai species, he gained fame as a gladiator on the decadent planet of Malva. However, much like Ironclad before him, he was disgusted with what he saw as the further moral decline of the gladiatoral arena. So he, too fled and found his way to Earth. Once there, however, his extraordinary strict ethical code did not mesh with the natives. He will punish anyone he considers a criminal and will take (or steal, as the Earthlings say) anything he thinks he deserves.
- Torment: Torment is the most reluctant of the PSI operatives. She doesn't actually want to hurt people or take over the world. What she does want, however, is to avoid the excruciating pain that torments her (and is the source of her name). She was born with a disorder that caused her intense pain that would fire at random in different parts of her body, and that didn't respond to any known medical treatments. Dr. Sebastian Poe figured out it was a result of psionic abilities and developed a drug to treat it. Now Psimon and Medusa use that drug to force Torment to serve them.
- Scalpel: An on-again-off-again member of the team who has two hates and two loves: Hates: Magic Girl and Bugg. Loves: To kill Magic Girl and Bugg.
- Electric Eel: Genetically-Engineered supervillain created by VIPER with a humanoid appearance and powers of an electric eel.

Bugg's Motivation for Being a Hero
Often questioned for whats the "real" reason Bugg became a superhero, Bugg never knew the exact answer himself but only being a hero for two years has left James Tyler (Bugg) with the real answer. All throughout James' life he was bullied, alone, sad, depressed, and worst of all not having anyone there in his life, of course there was his grandmother but he spent too much time trying to take care of her instead of the other way around. As Bugg, James gets a chance to be a role model to others as well serve the perfect teenage hero for other teens to look up to and when James thinks really hard on it, he believes he also became Bugg to be there for others since he never really had anyone there for him and he does this by using his power to help and save citizens of Millennium City.
Trivia
- Bugg was created by combining concepts of Spider-Man, Blue Beetle(Jaime Reyes), and The Ant from 2002 PC game, Freedom Force
- When Jimmy created his outfit he was originally going to name himself Insect-Man, but it sounded too comic book-like
- Bugg's favorite is the 1986 remake of the movie, "The Fly". This has been his favorite movie both before and after getting his powers although he does have nightmares of him transforming into a insectoid-creature.
- The name "Bugg" was actually a mistype when it was printed in the paper, so this inspired Jimmy to adopt this as his hero name.
- The Spider-Man concept of Bugg comes from how hes bitten by an animal of some kind to gain his powers, The Blue Beetle part comes from his powers being from alien origin, and The Ant concept comes from Bugg being an insect-themed hero and his lack in self-confidence.
- The Qularr are an alien race with the appearance of a person-sized bug-like creatures; much like a combination between an insect and a lobster, but being that Jimmy was bitten by a firebug and not an actual Qularr he gained only bug-related powers.
- Enjoys watching Epic Rap Battles of History on Youtube
- Jimmy possesses pretty accurate hearing beings that the Qularr lack perfect eyesight but have excellent hearing.
- Bugg's email for PRIMUS is TheBugg0601@PRIMUS.gov
- Bugg has somehow tapped into police radios and modified it so that not only they receive reports of superhuman activities but the Bugbots as well.
- Bugg CANNOT be defeated with ice or cryogenics of any kind due his physiology not being completely fire-based.
- Favorite song is "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty. First hearing it on the DVD, Barnyard, The Original Party Animals this song became stuck in James' head and later his heart after it soon stuck as the best motivation song to him.
- Bugg is immune to psionics and any other mental based attacks due to the antennae on his mask being outfitted with psychic blockers leaving mind-readers with a painful headache.
- Absolutely HATES "Punch Buggy" Jokes, If you catch my drift.
- Sometimes known for his corny rhythm, "My name is Bugg, I live under a rug with my best friend Doug".
- Despite his real name being "James Tyler". Most of James' friends call him "Jimmy James" since he doesn't have a specific preference to which name he rather be called by.
- Is considered the first successful cross between human and alien.
- Believes he can never get a girlfriend since girls fear bugs and "creepy-crawly's"
- James Tyler was once a vegetarian before switching back to regular delicious foods like ham and cheeseburgers
