Other Names: El Buey Fuerte (former Luchador identity)
Date of Birth: June 16th
Age: 26

Occupation: Luchador
Origin:
        Ignacio Benítez, better known as the El Buey Fuerte, was one of Mexico's top Luchadors. But that all ended with a grudge match against his rival El Rápido with both men's masks on the line. Ignacio lost the match and went on a sabbatical in the South as he had always wanted to.
        While traveling through forests and jungles of Colombia, the expedition came upon an undiscovered temple ruin. Venturing inside, Ignacio came upon a secret passage leading to a large chamber. The walls were decorated with murals of a man with golden skin. At the centre of the chambers sat a bust of a man with a black and gold mask placed over the head. The clues were obvious: the legend of El Dorado, the golden one, referred to this mask. The murals depicted the golden one performing numerous feats of great strength. Could this mask hold some sort of mystical power?
        Without hesitation, he removed the mask from the bust and placed it over his own head. He could feel strength surge through him, which he put to good use removing the rubble as the temple began to collapse.
        Ignacio returned to Mexico, adorned with the mask of the golden one, ready to turn his life around with the enhancement of the mask as El Dorado, the Golden Man.
Alignment: Hero
Weapons/Equipment:
-La Máscara del Dorado
Powers:
-Ignacio's body is enhanced to the peak of physical human fitness.
Personality:
        Ignacio is a master of playing to the crowd and exuding charisma. He is a quiet man, truthfully, but he can whip the crowd up into a frenzy with his charismatic mic skills.
Rivals: El Rápido
Group Affiliation: The Union of Justice
Trivia:
-GH went through all my heroes and villains, looking over their nationalities and it became clear that I had just one character of Hispanic ethnicity. I had no one from Mexico or even Spain. Like, how have I not used Spain yet? Hence the idea for a luchador.
-The original colour scheme was to be based on the Mexican flag, but he didn't look great, so I went for black and gold, which influenced his origin.

Other Versions: N/A
