Kord industries is everywhere, but we have yet to see Ted Kord.
I'm torn on that. On one hand, I like the Blue Beetle, he's cool. Also, embargoes suck in general.
OTOH, I'm not sure I'd really like to see Ted Kord as the bumbling schmuck they turned Ray Palmer into. I kind of prefer when he's more "Silver Age Batman, with even less angst". Which is actually how I'd like to see Ted used, if they ever did shake him free. Imagine how Ollie would react to meeting somebody whose basically just as good as he is, only without the darkness and guilt and tragedy, just talent, dedication, and a desire to help others. It'd be kind of like Miller Batman meeting Adam West Batman, and I suspect it could be alternately poignant and hilarious, if done right.
