Who Is Marvels El Muerto?
According to Marvel.com, El Muerto, who is also known as Juan Carlos Estrada Sanchez, is a descendant of superpowered wrestlers. Each member of the family who has received the mask throughout their history has also inherited the masks enchanted powers.
Marcus Estrada gives his son a mask on his birthday, but before he can take it, Juan Carlos must demonstrate that he is worthy of it by defeating El Dorado, a wrestler whom all of his forefathers have had to contend with in order to survive and maintain their abilities. For the following ten years, El Dorado permits Juan Carlos to train.
Has A Long History
Despite his brief appearance in only two comics, readers learned a lot about the man behind the mask and the legacy of power that had been passed down through generations throughout his family. However, the mask does provide him with significant strength, which he exploits to great advantage.
Sanchez's fighting abilities may be enhanced by the El Muerto mask, but they have also been refined over a lifetime of training. Marcus Estrada de la Garcia, the El Muerto before him, is also listed as luchador superheroes! For unidentified reasons, the candidate must convince El Dorado of their worth.
Never Wanted The Power
Sanchez refused to accept the inheritance, despite being taught by his father to wear the El Muerto mask, but has been terrified ever since hearing about it. He nevertheless takes in as much of the instruction as he can and supports his elder.
Sanchez declines to engage in combat until it is time to take the lead and demonstrate their enigmatic patron El Dorado's abilities. Despite being committed to the lineage, El Dorado threatens to execute Sanchez for his absolute failure. Unfortunately, the process results in his head becoming split from his body. If Sanchez fails, he will die like his father did.
