Manny Rivera is a 13-year-old Mexican-American boy, White Pantera's son and Puma Loco's grandson. He wants to be a lot good for his father Rodolfo, but being a little bit bad like his grandfather Granpapi Rivera is too much fun.

When he spins his mystical belt buckle, Manny transforms into the brave and powerful tiger-themed superhero El Tigre, who struggles with whether to use his superpowers for good or evil. His superhero name translates from Spanish to "The Tiger", which refers to his costume & claws. His powers include sharp retractable claws that can cut through almost anything, shooting out his hand like a grappling hook (hand cut off in Decision of Destiny), super strength, and a super jumping ability.

In The Grave Escape, he gained the power to summon a Tiger spirit, creating a large green Tiger-shaped energy field around himself that mimics his motions. He often does a few bad things but nearly always does thousands of good things to make up for it.

El Tigre briefly developed a crush on a raven-themed supervillainess Black Cuervo, even calling her mi amor (Spanish for "my love"), but seems to lose interest in her at the end of the episode, Enter the Cuervo. It was shown in the episode, The Moustache Kid, that other creatures are able to use his mystic belt buckle, as shown when Dr. Chipotle Jr. used it to amplify the power of his guacamole creature, giving it cat-like ears, white tufts of hair on the sides of its head, and claw gloves.

Manny is voiced by Alanna Ubach.

[edit] Frida Suárez

Portrayed by	Grey DeLisle
Information
Species	Human
Gender	Female
Age	12
Date of birth	May 5, 1995
Family	Emiliano Suárez (Human Father) Carmela Suárez (Human Mother) Nikita Suárez (Human Older sister) Anita Suárez (Human Older sister)

Frida is Manny's 12-year-old best friend who lives in a residence with her parents and older twin sisters. She is up for anything, even if it gets them in trouble. Frida always wears a pair of red goggles over her blue hair.

She will even cheer Manny on if he is doing something wrong (like the laser tattoo maker Manny wanted and stole his dad's money that was for buying guacamole. Frida cheered him on like always.) Her arch rival is Zoe Aves who is secretly "Black Cuervo."

Frida loves animals (except dogs and wolves) and churros and is always with Manny at any time. She's a Mexican-American girl too.

Frida is voiced by Grey DeLisle.

[edit] Rodolfo Rivera/White Pantera

Rodolfo is Manny's father and Puma Loco's son. Pantera can refer to a panther or any member of the panthera genus of cats.

He is semi-retired but has about as much trouble giving up being White Pantera as his father has giving up being Puma Loco (he never removes his magic boots, even when asleep, and only seems to take his mask off to do laundry). Rodolfo has a love-hate relationship with his father.

Despite their differences and Grandpapi's desire to pull Manny over to the dark side, Rodolfo always puts his family first. His source of power is his Bronze Boots of Truth, which give him superhuman speed and strength and make anyone who touches the sole of the boots have to tell the truth.

It seems that even though White Pantera is a hero, he inherited some bad habits from his father, such as when he accidentally locked Manny and Frida in Manny's room with a pizza to be alone with Maria during family dinner night. Notably, he is the only superhero to escape death at the jaws of El Mal Verde. During Sartana's tournament, he dressed himself up as a fake supervillan named "Black Pantera".

Rodolfo is voiced by Eric Bauza.

[edit] Grandpapi Rivera/Puma Loco

Granpapi is Manny's grandfather and Rodolfo's father. He a "friendly" old man who loves his grandson Manny very much. He is also a retired super villain who still enjoys cooking up trouble every now and then, especially if it means getting to spend time with Manny. His name means "Crazy Puma" in Spanish. Back in the old days, Grandpapi was one of the most feared villains who no one could catch (except his son White Pantera, of course). He wants Manny to follow in his footsteps, even encouraging him to do bad things like stealing. Despite the fact he is evil, there are things he won't do, such as betray his family. He always comes through when they're in danger even though it'd be easier for him to pull off crimes without his son in the way. His source of power is the Golden Sombrero of Chaos, which is able to transform into a robotic suit, similar to how a Transformer (Optimus Prime for example) transforms, and can produce several different weapons such as claws, a giant drill, and even a small hot air balloon, though the most commonly used are missiles. In Puma Licito, It is revealed that Grandpapi actually owns the house he, Rodolfo and Manny live in.

Grandpapi is voiced by Carlos Alazraqui.

[edit] Maria Rivera

Maria Rivera Maria is Manny's mother, and Rodolfo's ex-wife.

When Manny was young, Maria divorced Rodolfo, because she could not stand him getting hurt as a superhero. She then became a famous mariachi singer, and traveled the world. Manny and Grandpapi visited her every now and then.

Maria loves books, and often brings out a book to prove her point, as well as stating, "It's a fact!" Maria cares a lot for Manny, and often brings him gifts from places she's been to. She's still indifferent about Rodolfo, but respects him.

Maria is voiced by April Stewart.

[edit] Heroes

[edit] Golden Leon

Golden Leon is Manny's ancestor and the 1st Rivera superhero, his costume is similar to the clothing of a Conquistador and speaks in Old English and Galician Spanish. He is the son of Dark Leopard, father of the Mighty Cheetar, grandfather of Justice Jaguar, great-grandfather of Puma Loco, great-great grandfather of White Panthera, and Manny's great-great-great grandfather.

[edit] Justice Jaguar

Justice Jaguar: Manny's great-grandfather, Rodolfo's grandfather, Puma Loco's father and is son to the Mighty Cheetar, he dresses in a western style costume and likely lived in the "Old West". He wears a sombrero similar to Puma Loco's. He apparently died attempting the Rivera "Super Macho Blitz" and despite his passed differences with his son, they both still miss each other.

[edit] The Industrialist

The Industrialist is guardian of the defriendless. He shoots I-beams from a cannon on his arm and cement as well. He is a member of the League of Alliance Society.

[edit] Cosmic Cleopatra

Cosmic Cleopatra is sorceress of magic. She was a member of the League of Alliance Society.

[edit] Silver Sombrero

Silver Sombrero uses a spinning silver sombrero as a weapon. He throws it and it spins around like a blade. He is the leader of the League of Alliance Society.

[edit] El Cucharón

El Cucharón is a supervillain-turned superhero who can control spoons. He helped El Tigre and Frida stop Dr. Chipotle Sr. and El Oso, who were trying to "reform" as well as himself, but decided to actually be good instead of the other two, who took advantage of Manny's mother and tried to rob a bank. He later served as a minister at the wedding of Puma Loco and Sartana of the Dead.

[edit] Main Villains

[edit] Sartana of the Dead

Sartana is the most evil and feared super villain in all of Miracle City and Archrival of Manny Rivera/El Tigre. From her lair in the abandoned prison cemetery, the 200-year-old skeleton lady plots to overthrow all living beings and claim Miracle City for herself.

She once tried to use a special gem to rule the world in "Dia De Los Malos". She totally despises El Tigre (and all Rivera men for that matter), especially Puma Loco, who just so happens to be her former sweetheart. Her source of power is her Mystic Guitar, which allows her to summon countless skeleton minions when she strums it.

The guitar is also her weakness because if the guitar is destroyed everything it rose from the dead (Sartana included) reverts back to dead. This is how she is normally defeated but she seems to somehow keep getting it back.

Perhaps the scariest thing is that she can never truly be destroyed and always finds a way to come back to life. Manny stole the guitar when he accidentally killed Zebra Donkey in an attempt to bring it back to life in time for the Zebra Donkey festival. On one occasion, she invited most of the villains in Miracle City to compete in her tournament during her "upcoming retirement."

Sartana is voiced by Susan Silo.

Sergio uses a 10 foot tall robot suit to pose as an adult cowboy super villain named Señor Siniestro. Señor Siniestro is usually found spewing cowboy lingo with an absurdly inaccurate Texan accent while looking for his foe, Manny Rivera.

He is also one of the competitors of the Super-Villain Grand Prix and kicked the other competitors out of the race and got crushed by a crocodile and finished 2nd place over a crocodile. He also tried make Manny and Frida late so they could be expelled. He also made the students try to make a horse suit which was destroyed by El Tigre.

[edit] Zoe Aves/Black Cuervo

Zoe Aves
First appearance	"Enter The Cuervo"
Portrayed by	Candi Milo
Information
Aliases	Black Cuervo
Species	Human
Gender	Female
Age	14
Date of birth	April 27, 1993
Title	Villainess
Family	Mrs. Aves/Voltura (Human Mother) Lady Gobbler (Human Grandmother)

Zoe Aves is a perfectly spoiled 14-year-old Mexican-American girl. Her supervillainess name translates to Black Raven. First appearance: Enter the Cuervo.

Zoe's family clan is the Flock of Fury. Just like the Riveras all have Feline alter egos, the Flock of Fury is made up of bird-themed alter-egos. By day she's disinterested in life in general, but when night falls she's Black Cuervo, a take-charge raven-themed supervillainess who is much more full of life then the goth Zoe.

She is equipped with a laser blaster on her wrist and jet-wings on her back, as well as a sonic device she can use to send out a distress call to signal her family for help. Zoe has an evil mom named Voltura and a really evil grandmother know as Lady Gobbler.

As both Zoe and Black Cuervo, she is Frida Suárez's nemesis. In her first appearance of the series, El Tigre seems to develop a wrong crush on her. It is then revealed that Frida somehow "humiliated" Zoe once but it is never explained. After discovering her plot, he loses interest just as Black Cuervo has developed a crush on him at the end of the episode before Manny hits her with the "Spinning Armadillo", a special move that had taken Manny years to learn.

Afterwards, she immediately snaps out of her trance-like state, and calls in her mother and grandmami with her ear-blasting call. In Eye Caramba, it is known that the Flock of Fury has badly dated a number of two Rivera men. It seems she still has a crush on Manny.

The Flock of Fury was one of the competitors of the Super-Villain Grand Prix and finished last place because of El Tigre. The Aves family seems to be the opposite of the Rivera family.

Zoe is voiced by Candi Milo.

[edit] Diego/Dr. Chipotle, Jr.

Diego a.k.a. Dr. Chipotle, Jr. is an evil mad scientist with a massive robotic metal arm and a cybernetic right eye.

When Diego was just 7, he watched El Tigre and White Pantera put his father in jail and swore he'd get back at them some day. He uses strange weapons such as Zombie Guacamole, which is another thing he has in common with his father, who once robbed a bank using hot peppers mutated into monsters.

He gets furious at the sound of Manny and Frida mis-pronouncing or completely messing up his name, such as "Dr. Habanera", "Dr. Paprika" or "Dr. Jalapeño". He yells out at the word, "CHIPOTLE!!!".

Diego is voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz.

[edit] El Oso

El Oso A large, hairy thug with superhuman strength. He spends most of his time causing chaos in Miracle City. His name literally means "the bear" in Spanish. Rumored to have been raised by bears.

No matter how many times El Tigre or White Pantera puts El Oso behind bars, he manages to break out in time for dinner.
