[edit] Plot
Gervasio Robles Villa, son of a white man and from a Oaxacan Indian woman, is imprisoned for assassinating his fiancée, a crime that he did not commit. During the time he was in jail, he learned Wu-Shu by a mysterious man called "El Indio" (in the comic, Kwai Lan, a Chinese convicted by tax evasion). The Main General of the police, Porfirio Ayala, convinced of his innocence, decides to release him and to return him the life he was taken off. Nevertheless, this act of kindness has interests by means. Gervasio will be able to remain in freedom under a condition: to work secretly in the police and to catch the criminals who inhabit the city. Now, Gervasio must find himself, recover his life and discover what his destiny is, to be known as “The Panther”.
