The Scarlet Beetle is, surprise surprise, a red beetle. Like most beetles (who have been dosed with massive amounts of radiation), he's telepathic, super bitter, and can grow to the size of a city block. We also learn that all bugs are jerks and if they ever get it together we're all dead.

The Scarlet Beetle first appeared in Tales to Astonish #39
