Notes in English
The characters depicted here are all parodies of old Mexican super-heroes.In American comic books,heroic mantles are inherited all time,but that doesn't happen in Mexican comics and so the irony of depicting futuristic versions of them.
Aguila Solitaria (Lone Eagle) was a Western hero,an Apache raised by eagles and with the power of flight.
Zor was a heroic robot in a comic for kids.
Karmatron was a space-opera hero (and was a male).
Chanoc was a Mexican fisher who had Tarzan-like adventures.
Kaliman was a hero with martial arts skills and some mystic superpowers.
El Charro Negro (The Black Charro) was not a comic book character.Actually and originally he is a legendary ghost,dressed all in black and that haunts solitary roads.
Capulina is the alter ego of comedian Gaspar Henaine.Not a true super-hero,but in his comics,movies and TV show he usually was featured as a parodic adventurer.In his TV series,he had the luchador (wrestler) Tinieblas as his sidekick/guardian angel,and Alushe (a cute Ewok-like furry creature) was Tinieblas' sidekick.
El Santos is a parody of El Santo,the most famous Mexican luchador.El Santos was kind of a unrefined and cynical version of El Santo,hence the fact that his hand is censored.
Finally,Simon Simonazo was a humor comic book featuring low-class young men.Ultrapato (Ultraduck) was a super-hero miniseries featuring anthropomorphic characters.And Katy La Oruga (Katy the Caterpillar) was this cute character from a children's storybook that was later adapted into an animated movie,and later into a comic book series for kids.
Notas en Español
Los personajes aquí presentados son todos parodias de viejos superhéroes mexicanos.En los comics estadounidenses,los mantos heróicos se heredan todo el tiempo,pero eso no ocurre en los comics mexicanos y de ahí la ironía de mostrar versiones futuristas de ellos.
Águila Solitaria era un héroe Western,un apache criado por águilas y con la capacidad de volar.
Zor era un robot heróico de un comic para niños.
Karmatron era un superhéroe espacial (y era hombre).
Chanoc era un pescador mexicano que tenía aventuras similares a las de Tarzan.
Kaliman era un héroe con habilidades de artes marciales y algunos superpoderes místicos.
El Charro Negro no fue realmente un personaje de comic.En realidad y originalmente,es un espectro legedario,vestido de negro y que merodea los caminos solitarios.
Capulina es la identidad alterna del comediante Gaspar Henaine.No es un superhéroe realmente,pero en sus comics,películas y show de TV usualmente se le presentaba como un aventurero paródico.En su serie de TV,tenía al luchador Tinieblas como su asistente/angel guardián,y Alushe (una criatura peluda linda parecida a un Ewok) era el asistente de Tinieblas.
El Santos es una parodia de El Santo,el más famoso luchador mexicano.El Santos era algo así como la versión guarra y cínica de El Santo,de ahí el que su mano salga censurada.
Finalmente,Simon Simonazo era un comic de humor basado en jóvenes de clases bajas.Ultrapato fue una miniserie de superhéroes protagonizada por animalitos.Y Katy la Oruga era un personaje tierno de un libro infantil que luego fue adaptado a película animada,y luego a serie de comic para niños.
