Here are my concepts and design ideas for DC's New 52 reboots of Silver Scarab and Dr. Midnite.
I would put them both in Earth 2 first of all, along with Alan Scott/Green Lantern and Jay Garrick/Flash and Hawkgirl.
Silver Scarab: Hector hol is the son of Katar Hol and Shayera Hol, two Thanagarian soldiers who landed on Earth in Ancient Egypt. They were worshiped as gods and became king and queen. On Earth they had a son, Hector. As a young man Hector found the Blue Beetle Scarab, or rather it found him. The alien technology merged with him and, combined with his Thanagarian Nth Metal turned him into the Silver Scarab. The Nth Metal altered the programming of the Scarab giving Hector complete control and alter his powers. When Hector seemingly died he merely was absorbed into the Scarab. Centuries later Terry Sloane found the Scarab and couldn't get it to work, until he could and to keep others from using it it was locked in the volts along with Aquagirl, Jimmy Olsen, and other possible threats. After the second invasion by Apocalypse and the Parademons, the Scarab resurfaced. On accident it was unlocked and Hector was alive again. Now in modern times, and is now the protector Silver Scarab. (Because of the Nth Metal the scarab is forever connected, part of, Hector). Just like Jaime he can fly using the wings, and shoot energy blasts from his hands by turning them into gun like weapons. Hector has all the same powers Jamie has in the comics. Essentially he is Earth 2's Blue Beetle.
With Hector I tried to simplify his origins which are as tangled as his father's, Pre-New 52.
and
Dr. Midnite: Beth Chapel was finishing up her medical degree, ready to become a doctor, when she started loosing her vision. She found out that she had a degenerative eye condition which would eventually make her totally blind. After two years a medical study with the goal of returning eye sight came along looking for volunteers. Beth accepted the chance. The results hardly worked for any of the volunteers, but Beth had strange results. She could see but only in darkness. Furthermore, and more unusual, was that her reflexes and strength, and speed, were heightened. (It was an Earth 2 version of the drug that gave Deathstroke his powers.) She hid all these from the doctors and became the vigilante Dr. Midnite. She created blackout bombs that were like reverse flash grenades. Using that same technology she also created batons that would stun her opponents. Allowing her flashes of sight when she hits her enemies. She also hides these, like Daredevil in Marvel Comics, as walking canes she uses to get around. (I also have an idea that she becomes the vigilante Dr. Midnite to stop some of the other volunteers who experienced similar results as she did and tried to steal more of the drug. Her pet owl, Hooty, used to belong to the Doctor who ran the medical study but died at the hands of one of the other volunteers. I also feel that to explain her combat skills she either has been in mixed martial arts since grade school because of the naighborhood she grew up in, like the other Dr. Midnite, or she was trained by Earth 2 Batman, or both.)
Her origin would probably take place after the Evil Superman, Second Apocalypse Invasion, in Earth 2.
With her I tried to fuse all the Dr. Midnites together, in look and story. She could essentially be Earth 2's Deathstroke, but probably not. I don't want to pin it down.
