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.
Millennium City: Invasion
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.
Growing Pains
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.
Powerful
Week after week Jimmy has experienced 8 blackouts, horrific neck pains, achy bones, and massive sweating. Jimmy doesn't know whats wrong with him it feels like right after being bit by that Firebug caused Jimmy to feel like he was hit by a bus. He thinks he should see The Champions or some voodoo doctor because he surely knows this isn't normal, but finally after three months Jimmy recovers and starts to feel a lot better so much better that he decides to go for a run something Jimmy never does. He notices that he possessed the speed and agility of an Olympic athlete and was able to run and jump like a parkour runner when Jimmy was almost hit by a Narcola truck his quickly jumped out of the way where he noticed he was sticking to a wall like an insect. He took one hand off the wall and looked down at it where he saw spike-like claws that acted like suction cups, Jimmy losted focus and fell off the wall this was where he generated retractable wings and begun to fly. Flying through the city like a human helicopter Jimmy put the facts together and realized by being bitten by the Firebug gave him the powers of a Qularr alien.
Big Time Hero
After weeks of power preparation Jimmy went to Carl's Gym where he learned basic hand-to-hand combat he started going there everyday after school and told his grandma that he was at the library. Jimmy also putting together a bug-themed suit as well just as a way to sign up for luchador wrestling, this was quickly scraped when a demon calling himself, Morbane was attacking his school in Westside. Jimmy noticed he finally had a chance to use his new powers in action throwing on his costume Jimmy attacked Morbane trying to get him away from the students, grabbing his leg Morbane throws Jimmy out one of the windows in his school and Jimmy ends up in a warehouse where hes nearly beaten to a pulp but later defeats Morbane by using a live electrical cord to weaken him. Morbane escapes and the police later show up at Westside and the warehouse he was at. Jimmy gets back to the school in time to change clothes and get back in his civilian identity.
Bugg
Jimmy quickly recovered from his wounds and picked up a newspaper Saturday morning only to find that HE was in the paper saying that "an unknown vigilante with a bug-like appearance saved the students of Westside High' Jimmy later thought that maybe he was destined to be a hero, maybe there was a reason why that firebug bit him.. So Jimmy knew he was destined for greatness and he knew that maybe he can make a change in the world as this new "bug" hero so he later goes in his room and digs out his mask from his bookbag glaring into the lenses saying "a bug hero, eh?" Jimmy then puts on his costume and flies out his bedroom window screaming "I AM BUGG!!"
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: Probably because of his exoskeleton. Jimmy can take loads of damage and still get back up and walk it off as if it were nothing.
- Insect Physiology: Having the physiology of an insect makes Jimmy vulnerable to any pesticides used to kill all kinds of insects.
- Fire Control: After being bitten 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, but not at the same rate as Grond.
- Symbiotic Exoskeleton: Jimmy also has a retractable exoskeleton which enables him to be invulnerable against bullets and lasers, but not completely invulnerable.
- Retractable Claws: Much like a cat Jimmy has retractable claws which he uses as an offense weapon.
- Danger-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.
- 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.
Weaknesses
- Pesticides: 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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- Utility Belt: Bugg keeps a thin and unnoticeable utility belt under his costume shirt.

Trivia
- Bugg was created by combining concepts of Spider-Man, Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), and The Ant from 2002 PC game, Freedom Force
- Bugg is voiced by Geoffrey Laff, voice of The Ant in Freedom Force.
- When Jimmy created his outfit he was originally going to name himself Insect-Man, but it sounded too comic book-like
- 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.
