During the creation of the 2005 crossover event Infinite Crisis, former Teen Titans financier, Loren Jupiter was originally going to be retconned as a villain. Because of the character's obscurity however, he was replaced with Maxwell Lord.
Because of Maxwell Lord's preestablished relationship with Ted Kord, him having the role of killing Blue Beetle makes sense. Having Loren Jupiter kill Blue Beetle doesn't. Jupiter has only appeared in a handful of comics, most of them being issues of the Bronze Age Teen Titans and Dan Jurgens' Titans from the 90s. As far as I'm aware Jupiter and Kord haven't even met in continuity.
However Loren Jupiter being initially chosen to fill the Maxwell Lord role in Infinite Crisis makes more sense given the fact that Dick Grayson was originally going to be killed off during the event until that plan was scrapped. Grayson actually has had a previous relationship with Jupiter in the comics when he was Robin in the original iteration of Teen Titans.
Is it possible that Dick Grayson was going to play the role of Ted Kord during the Infinite Crisis Special, wherein he would investigate the Omac Project and Checkmate, until dying by the hands of Loren Jupiter?
