That part never made sense to me either.

Lame assortment of villains in this one, the most menacing was the cliched abusive boyfriend. Okay, we've seen Miss Martian take on Psimon 3 times now.
Supergirl couldn't stop the plane herself...lame...oh, right Wonder Girl, just so much like 90's cartoon Supergirl it's distracting.
Good to see Cobra troopers still getting work under Counselor Demona Troi aka Queen Bee.

Who voiced Abusive Boyfriend? I swear he sounded just like Chakotay.
And Longshadow!
Hope it's explained more coherently. The going logic was, "We suspect humans have a genetic anomaly that brings out super-powers under stress. We're going to use deadly force on them and see." When a disproportionate number survive, the instant conclusion is, "Luck was ruled out as a factor! They must have powers!"
Uh, yeah. Dominator, you need to lose some of those teeth to make room for brains. You can't rule out luck. That's why it's luck.

Was that Robert Beltran as the voice of the boyfriend?
In the comics I believe that Ted had been holding on to Scarab. Since he was such a whiz with technology its not a huge leap for those around him to think that he built it.
It was.

Also Gregg Rainwater as Tye, Irene Bedard as his mother, and Michael Horse as his grandfather.
Plus, the thing's in the form of a giant blue beetle. Why *wouldn't* you assume it was made by the tech genius who went around as the Blue Beetle. If someone found a bat-shaped gadget in the Batcave, it'd be pretty reasonable to assume Batman made it (or had it made), wouldn't it?
That voice sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. Wonder if after Voyager they assumed Beltran was Native American. 
Disappointed we didn't get an Inukchuk though.
The girl team must be popular (even cheekily mentioned) and it is fun to see different characters. I really like Batgirl and her moves. We even got some girl power villains. I'm liking Nightwing as YJ captain.

He is.

(Which is a portmanteau of Latin and Indio, the Spanish word for a Native American.)
Hmm, I thought I had read elsewhere he was only Latino/Hispanic. Thank God for the Internet so we can always be quickly corrected.
More like the Greg Weisman tradition of using ST actors.
^ Indeed.
Don't you mean Matriarch Demona Troi, or maybe Counselor Demona Benezia?
Both of those make sense, yeah.

He's Mexican-American, and about 2/3 of Mexicans are mestizos, i.e. of mixed European/Native American ancestry, and about 10-14% more are pure indigenous. Latino/Hispanic is a linguistic and cultural category, not an ethnic one, so it encompasses a diverse range of ethnicities. And Native Americans are one of the largest contributors to the mix.
Maybe he got it FROM Ted, or whatever. The DCU that's presented here isn't necessarily a copy of the DCU in the comics. Somethings might be different.
Plenty of things are already clearly different. Like Conner/Superboy being created while Dick Grayson was still only 13. Or Zatara becoming Dr. Fate. Or Kaldur'ahm being the first and only Aqualad instead of Garth. Or Artemis's mother being Paula Nguyen instead of Paula Brooks, and Artemis and Cheshire being sisters.
Yeah, I take the show on it's own terms.
Hahaha! They roll out the tubes at the end, and it was all of the super friends! Beside Apache Chief was clearly Samurai (same color scheme). Next over was someone of Latin descent (I suppose El Dorado); and last was what looked to be Black Lightning given the color scheme (with BL the original character for Super Friends before legal woes forced the creation of Black Vulcan).
I love how much this show loves DC history; it's a true love letter.
