In "The New 52" reboot, Paco temporarily gains abilities similar to Blue Beetle and becomes known as the Blood Beetle after being given a life-saving Transbiotic Antitrauma Unit (T.A.U.). This persona is later removed after Blue Beetle's scarab Khaji Da removes the T.A.U. and gives Paco a tissue transplant.
