Dark Leopard is Manny's Great-great-great-great grandfather. He was the first Rivera supervillain in all of Miracle City. He is also the son of the first El Tigre.

Appearance[]

Dark Leopard used a stone mech-suit that is similiar to his grandson's and his great-great grandson's mech-suit. It has an Aztec theme, with the gold color and the feline characteristics.

Powers[]

  • Self-propelled flight
  • Missiles
  • Grappling arm.

Pre-Series[]

At one time, Dark Leopard betrayed his Aztec people and married a Spanish woman (with whom he'd later father Golden Leon, who would become the first Rivera hero), thus becoming the first supervillain of the Rivera family.

Character Design/Inspiration[]

As mentioned by Jorge Gutierrez, Dark Leopard is slightly inspired by La Malinche, a Nahua woman who played an active and powerful role in the Spanish conquest of Mexico, acting as interpreter, advisor and intermediary for Hernán Cortés. She was also a mistress to Cortés and gave birth to his first son, who is considered one of the first Mestizos.
