Sparkington J. Northrup was an American orphan who was adopted and raised by Lord Wellington of Suppleshire, England. He became Blue Beetle's boy sidekick, after he was sent back to America on his adopted father's behest. He wore a simplified version of Beetle's costume and called himself "Sparky."

*Blue Beetle #14 (cover & advertisement only), 15-17

Most sites claim this character and Spunky are one and the same however, no comic states this (and, along with codenames being different, the two characters had different alter-egos as well).
