For the better part of a decade, the Mexican American superhero created by Héctor Rodríguez has helped immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border fight Mexican cartels, corrupt officials and human traffickers.
El Peso Hero saves civilians in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol in a special edition of Héctor Rodríguez's self-published comic book series. The 18-page issue is free, with text in English, Spanish, Ukrainian and Russian.For the better part of a decade, the Mexican American superhero created by Héctor Rodríguez has helped immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border fight Mexican cartels, corrupt officials and human traffickers.
The character, whose real name is Ignacio Rivera, turned an insult into a superhero name after a border agent compared him to a devalued Mexican peso. Rodríguez insists El Peso Hero is just a regular guy doing good deeds, even if he does have superhuman strength and bulletproof skin. For his latest adventure, the superhero travels to the besieged city of Mariupol — where he lifts a tank to rescue a trapped Ukrainian family, deflects Russian bullets, finds a missing Red Cross volunteer and diverts a gas attack.
