El Toro Negro ("The Black Bull") is a South American mercenary and antagonist of Spider-Man closely associated with the Great Game. He is currently believed to be deceased (or at the very least, forcefully lobotomized.)
He is notable for having, with the aid of fellow Spider-Man enemy and Great Game player Polestar, killed the Marvel Comics hero Nightwatch. During an attempt to kidnap the son of Nightwatch's ex-girlfriend (the boy having been declared a prize in the Great Game), Polestar used his suit's powers to peel back Nightwatch's costume (which was comprised of nanites) long enough for El Toro Negro to shoot the hero directly in his exposed chest. Negro then immediately turned on and killed Polestar.
He was last seen as a captive of his sponsor Justin Hammer, who told him that he would remove Torres' weaknesses — starting with his mind. Hammer then proceeded to forcibly lobotomize the immobilized Torres.
