Redirect to:

List of DC Comics characters: C#Carapax

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a fictional character: This is a redirect from a fictional character to a related fictional work or list of characters. The destination may be an article about a related fictional work that mentions this character, a standalone list of characters, or a subsection of an article or list.
- For redirects named for fictional places use {{R from fictional location}}, and for those named for fictional elements (objects or concepts), use {{R from fictional element}}.

To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
- An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
- Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Carapax (Q5037712).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-'''Carapax''' is a [[fictional]] [[supervillain]] published by [[DC Comics]]. Carapax first appeared in ''[[Blue Beetle]]'' vol. 2 #1 (June 1986), and was created by [[Len Wein]] and [[Paris Cullins]]. Carapax is featured as the archenemy of Blue Beetle.
-==Fictional character biography==
-Conrad Carapax was an [[archaeologist]] who had once been the rival of [[Blue Beetle|Dr. Daniel Garrett]], the man who became the original Blue Beetle. He went to Pago Island alone in search of whatever it was that Garrett was searching for when he died.<ref>{{Cite comic

In the lab he found a gleaming [[robot]] standing silently in the corner of the huge chamber, having come back online when it had sensed his approach. Donning a strange [[helmet]] he found in the [[wikt:wreckage|wreckage]], Carapax attempted to activate the robot, but the machinery malfunctioned, zapping Carapax where he stood. Although his body had died, Carapax's mind was transferred to the robot at the instant of his [[death]]. He was now an Indestructible Man trapped on Pago Island.
-He murdered the crew of the ship that had brought Lieutenant Max Fisher to Pago Island to investigate the death of Dan Garrett, hoping to use the vessel to escape. However, the Blue Beetle had followed Fisher to Pago to protect the island's secret. He saved Fisher's life and therefore came into direct conflict with Carapax.  He used his ship, the Bug, to sink the ship, and when Carapax tried to commandeer the Bug itself, he was sent hurtling into the [[Atlantic Ocean]], where he sank without a trace. Unfortunately for the Beetle, Carapax simply walked along the ocean bottom until he surfaced in [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]]. He and the Beetle battled again, but this time, the Beetle fired a missile through a crack in Carapax's outer shell, igniting his power source and blowing up his body from the inside.
-During the ''[[Underworld Unleashed]]'' storyline, Carapax was approached by the demon [[Neron]], but he refused Neron's offer of power in exchange for his soul.
-After the Blue Beetle's death, Carapax confronted [[Superman]] and the new [[Firestorm (comics)|Firestorm]]. His body had been rebuilt by [[extraterrestrials in fiction|extraterrestrials]] and provided with a new power source.  Firestorm had to be persuaded not to vaporize Carapax's supposed armor by Superman for a very good reason - he '''''was''''' the robot, not a living being trapped inside it.
-Carapax later returned, steam-powered and capable of withstanding any and all technological attacks, as part of a group formed to take out the new Blue Beetle, [[Jaime Reyes]]. Carapax is defeated when Jaime makes a crack in his shoulder, and throws one of his own missiles into it.<ref>''Blue Beetle'' (Vol. 6) #35</ref>
-==Powers and abilities==
-Carapax has a high degree of protection from physical and energy attacks, super human strength, agility and endurance. He is able to fire miniature missiles.
