Early Years
Abner Ronald Jenkins was just a normal mechanic for an aircraft producer. Tired of his boring, low paying job and not getting promotions he thought he deserved he decided to strike out on his own in search of fame and fortune. As a result, Jenkins to invent his own version and design of the rising and trending Iron Man armor, so he could get the chance to show proudly it on live television. At some point in time in his early adulthood, his fellow crew were on the flight to the Arctic regions in order to shoot a highly-anticipated documentary, when suddenly, the very plane they were in was critically hit by an unknown missile and had crashed landed on a mysterious coast somewhere across Europe, later revealing to be the border of the eastern European country of Latveria.

Jenkins even tried to escape the life-threatening situation using his prototype suit and fly his way out of the plane, only to be timely caught by the detached wing of the falling plane, dragging him to plummet down into the ground as well. Thankfully, Jenkins' actions of wearing and using the suit had actually saved his life in the first place before he was formally and "peacefully" approached by the dictator Latverian monarch himself, Victor von Doom, who came for Jenkins' aid, to which he gave a confused Jenkins the chance of salvation by offering him refuge and settlement within the small, seemingly peaceful country.

Birth of the Beetle
As a last second oppurtunity to leave his burdening past life behind and start a new beginning within the country of Latveria in order to serve a new purpose in his life, Jenkins willingly accepted Doom's offer, thus he became an official resident of the eastern European nation without any signs of regret on starting over.

Using the suit of armor he successfully upgraded single-handedly only using the advanced parts of Latverian technology, Jenkins was extremely trained for a while before he eventually became the notorious Laterian mercenary and a tactical commander of the Secret Latverian Agency, known by the infamous moniker of the Beetle.
