History Characters / LuchaUndergroundSeasonOne

Veterans of the ring and encyclopedias of wrestling knowledge, Matt Striker and Vampiro are the [[CombatCommentator play-by-play men]] for ''Lucha Underground''. Both veterans of the industry in their own right, they call the spots and comment on the stories that go on inside the Temple walls. Vampiro also does commentary on ''Lucha Underground'''s Spanish broadcast on [=UniMas=], [[SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage since he's actually quite well-versed in the language]], but Matt Striker is replaced with the most legendary Spanish commentator of them all, "el Hijo de Doña Melida", Hugo Savinovich. "The Voice" Michael Schiavello subbed in for Vampiro during the second half of ''Ultima Lucha'', due to Vampiro being indisposed for it, and later would provide voiceovers for video packages hyping a championship match between Johnny Mundo and Rey Mysterio. French commentary is reportedly handled by Nadir Mohammedi and Stéphane Thirioni.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: When Johnny Mundo got in his face at the start of Aztec Warfare III to gloat about how he was going to win the championship, waving his #12 slip around while talking about how when he came in he was going to "take everyone to slamtown", Dario took the slip off him and tore it in half, giving back just the number 2. Normally we [[LoveToHate hated]] Dario when he dicked the wrestlers around, but nobody deserved to be dicked more than Johnny.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: When he entered the ring after Black Lotus had broken Pentagon Dark's arm, Black Lotus and her Triad vacated the ring, leaving Dragon alone with the crippled Pentagon. Dragon proceeded to ''step on Pentagon's broken arm'' before ''breaking his other one!'' You ''don't'' want to piss him off.

* DreamTeam: With Rey Mysterio and Prince Puma.

...or so was thought. Cuerno, having grown sick of being Catrina's buffer against challengers, stormed into her office to cash in the Gift of the Gods, only for Catrina to derail him into a defense against Fenix, one which he ultimately would lose. He competed in Aztec Warfare II, but was eliminated by Rey Mysterio, and then fought for an Aztec Medallion against Siniestro de la Muerte, but lost the match due to Catrina's interference. Evidently this broke the last thread of allegiance between him and Catrina; Cuerno was seen eavesdropping on Mil Muertes and Catrina as they plotted the demise of Matanza, and was among the death parade bearing Mil away after Graver Consequences. It was soon revealed that he had taken Muertes' body, placing it under glass as a trophy. Competed in a 12-person match for a chance at #1 Contendership; as his team won, he took part in a six-person match for the honor. Little did he know, however, that his greatest trophy had been reawakened. Sure enough, Muertes made his return during the six-person match, attacking Cuerno and causing him to get eliminated. Stole a win against Muertes the week before Ultima Lucha Dos was set to begin, leading to him being placed in a Death match against Muertes at the big event. Unfortunately for him, he was defeated by Muertes.

* SurpriseCreepy: At first glance he was a comedy jobber, a goofy fanboy who thinks he's a wrestler. Even after he proved he could actually wrestle, he still came across as more amusing than anything else. Then the end of Season 1 hit, you find out he ''kidnapped Sexy Star'' and you realise he's ''actually completely insane!''

* WeaponOfChoice: His bullrope, made from a big-ass length of rope that's taped on the ends. It also has a cowbell, which he's QUITE fond of making go '''clang!''' on people's skulls.

* FightingWithChucks: Has been shown on video packages practicing with them, and he's actually damn handy with them... [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome and then he actually used a pair to beat Hernandez with in the Believer's Backlash match!]]

* ActionGirl: For almost two whole seasons we never got to see her do anything outside of some faux-kung fu in the backstage vignettes, but at Ultima Lucha Dos she went head-to-head with Dragon Azteca Jr. and proved that she can ''really'' go! Just a pity about Pentagon Dark, really...
* DamselInDistress: She spent a fair bit of the first season imprisoned in the same room as Matanza's cage, though both were placed out of each other's reach.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Chavo Guerrero made one to protect her while she takes revenge against Matanza. Too bad he didn't intend to follow through.
* DoomedHometown: Her village was destroyed by Matanza.
* DragonLady: Her ethnicity, look and attitude all are meant to invoke this trope.
* KidnappedByAnAlly: Before she could face Matanza, she was "kidnapped" by a luchador named Dragon Azteca, who explained to her that she was not ready to face him and offered to teach her lucha libre to be able to fight him properly. Lotus herself acknowledges that Dragon Azteca probably saved her life. It turns out it was actually Prince Puma who kidnapped her and delivered her to Azteca.
* MysteriousWatcher: She would sit in the crowd and watch the matches silently before finally confronting Cueto about Matanza's whereabouts.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: She stated to Matanza that she will be the one to kill him.
* PlayingBothSides: Was seemingly a faithful ally to Dario Cueto after Cueto took her under his protection, butwas seen manipulating Dragon Azteca Jr. into believing that she's his ally as well.
* PrepareToDie: When she was standing next to Matanza's cage, she recounted how he killed everyone in her village and that from childhood her only desire has been to kill him.
* RageAgainstTheMentor: She killed her mentor Dragon Azteca.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: According to Dario, her parents were the leaders of the Black Lotus Triad before they were killed.
* YouAreNotReady: After a few months of training, she believed herself ready to face Matanza, Dragon Azteca disagreed and floored her, proving she still had a long way to go before she could face Matanza and hope to win. She should've listened to him.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Parents]]: Along with the rest of her village, though Dario Cueto said otherwise. It was later found out that he had been lying.

* BullyingADragon: Chavo was in a bad mood. He decided to attack someone. That someone was [[WrestlingMonster Mil Muertes]], who was also in a bad mood. [[IdiotBall Chavo was dumb]]. [[ForegoneConclusion Chavo got his ass kicked.]]
* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: If Chavo's fighting, there WILL be a chair involved. [[GenreSavvy He even brought a chair into Aztec Warfare I, since one of the stipulations of the match was No Disqualifications]]. Also wielded one in the Loser Leaves Lucha match, as did his father.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: It's on YOUR head if you actually dare to trust Chavo Guerrero.
* DeadManWalking: Chavo became this after he pissed off one luchador too many and was basically declared ''persona non grata'' to any Mexican wrestler in the roster.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Towards Black Lotus, as per the deal he struck with Dragon Azteca...
** ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: ...until he sold her out to Dario Cueto, that is.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Upon seeing that Joey Ryan was about to force a kiss on Sexy Star, Chavo jumped in and screamed "NO!" at him until he stopped. Chavo being Chavo, he then used the opportunity to try to pin Sexy, but it's the thought that counts.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], in that NO ONE expected him being face to stick.
** HazyFeelTurn: His deal with Dragon Azteca seemed to be the beginning of a genuine turn, though he had his own reasons for making it. Unfortunately, [[DoubleSubversion he never intended to honor it.]]
* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: After one-and-a-half seasons of being portrayed as a DirtyCoward who will never fight without numbers on his side or a hidden weapon and almost never win, Chavo's Gift of the Gods defence against Cage saw him put on a ''spectacularly'' badass performance in defeat (he didn't even try to cheat once), reminding you that there's more to him than just being the late Wrestling/EddieGuerrero's nephew.
* '''{{Heel}}''': Seriously, [[WrongGenreSavvy did anyone expect being a good guy to stick with this guy]]?
* LegacyCharacter: Turns out that his family has a long-time history with Matanza, as Chavo mentions to Black Lotus that his grandfather was present when he destroyed her village, so that makes Chavo the inheritor of the mantle of being the Guerrero who opposes him. Too bad that, well, Chavo is [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder a Guerrero]].
* TheMole: His supposed alliance with Dragon Azteca was actually him serving as one for Dario Cueto, in exchange for protection from all of Mexico.
* PutOnABus: Chavo left the Temple after he felt that he was too big a target for the Mexican members on the roster.
** RealLifeWritesThePlot: Chavo is a producer on the show, so he writes himself out of the show about halfway through every season so he can focus on his backstage work.
** TheBusCameBack: Tracked down Dragon Azteca and struck a deal with him to get all of Mexico off his back in exchange for protecting Black Lotus with his life. Too bad he never intended to keep it, as he was Dario Cueto's mole the entire time.
*** The Loser Leaves Lucha match put Chavo back on the bus, possibly for good this time.
*** Averted again as he returned in Season 4.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Played with. After he was declared fair game for all the Mexicans on the roster and was defeated by Mil Muertes, Chavo went to Dario Cueto's office to say that he was done with the Temple, but with an attitude of being open to being talked out of it by El Jefe. [[MagnificentBastard El Jefe simply shrugs his shoulders and wishes Chavo the best of luck, basically saying the Temple's open to him once he decides to grow a pair again]]. Chavo's face of incredulity and disappointment told the entire story.
** This turned out to be a cover for his real mission. Dario Cueto had dispatched him to eliminate Black Lotus, a task which he failed at when Dragon Azteca got to her first.

* TheAtoner: In a very minor way, part of the reason Mundo seems to be attracted to the Temple is that it's a place where the best will face the best, a place where Mundo can establish himself as an honorable competitor, and a place free of the political nonsense of mainstream wrestling. Abandoned after he turned rudo.
* ArchEnemy: Dario Cueto. Their relationship was very similar to the one between Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon. Cueto took any chance he had to screw Johnny over, and Johnny found no greater pleasure than messing with Cueto's plans or smacking him upside the head.
** '''[[AvertedTrope Averted]]'''. Johnny soon allied himself with Dario Cueto.
** Had some very personal beef with Alberto El Patron, which came to a head in their match for the right to face Hernandez for the #1 contendership. Alberto winning the match was a slap in Johnny's face, and Johnny retaliated, costing Alberto the fight against Hernandez.
** Extended this view towards those with singles gold during Season 3, as Dario Cueto kept him from getting title shots.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: While Johnny can get along well with other people, he still thinks he's better than them, and he's usually right. His attitude understandably rubs people the wrong way, though.
* BadassLongcoat: Walks into the ring with a feathered longcoat. Think of it as a mix between Wrestling/JesseVentura's feathered boas and Wrestling/RicFlair's sequined robes.
* BashBrothers: For a while he had this kind of partnership with Prince Puma, until an accidental chairshot soured that and they ended up feuding. They put their differences aside for the first Trios title tournament, though.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Johnny is a walking [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of this trope; he's the second Triple Crown Champion in Lucha Underground (after Fenix), and ''everything'' he's won is the result of his shameless cheating. He led the Worldwide Underground to the Trios Championships on a wave of [[GroinAttack crotch kicks]], he stole the Gift of the Gods belt from Sexy Star with run-ins, distractions and a pair of brass knuckles, and he cashed that in to steal the Lucha Underground Championship from Sexy as well by planting Taya in the crowd disguised as a Sexy Star fan with, again, a pair of brass knuckles. Ironically, the one and only prize he ever ''did'' win cleanly (the suitcase containing $100,000 he won in the Temple's first ladder match) he returned to Dario as a bribe to get his shot at the Gift, so he's basically only ''ever'' prospered in the Temple as a dirty cheat.
* CombatParkour: What distinguishes him from the rest of the roster: Johnny knows the ring inside and out and how to move within and without it. He'll flip over the ropes to avoid strikes, use the ropes to give leverage to strikes of his own, run up the turnbuckle to set up high-flying moves, etc. Basically, if you're fighting him, watch where you're standing.
* CombatPragmatist: Ever since he went heel, it's pretty hard to find a single match that Johnny's won clean.
* CrowdChant: Since he turned heel, the Believers have started chanting "Johnny [[PrecisionFStrike Puto]]!" at him. Given how severe a profanity that is in Spanish, the TV broadcasts usually dub in "Johnny Zero!" over it.
* DeadpanSnarker: Whenever he's talking with someone else, there's barbs aplenty, especially evident in his backstage conversation with Alberto El Patron.
* {{Determinator}}: Right up there with Prince Puma as one of the guys who'll never say die.
* DirtyCoward: Ever since Johnny went rudo, there has barely been a ''single'' match where he hasn't cheated to win, whether it's with low blows, concealed weapons or, most commonly, getting his friends to run in and beat up his opponent (and sometimes [[GlassJawReferee the ref]]) for him. There's not a single drop of honour left in him any more.
* EnemyMine: Though they'd had problems in the past, he recruited Aerostar for his Atomicos team against the Reptile Tribe.
* {{Expy}}: He has more than a bit in common with [[Franchise/MortalKombat a certain other fighting Johnny]] with [[MrFanservice pretty boy looks]], a penchant for CoolShades and [[WalkingShirtlessScene not wearing a shirt]], and an initial interest in fighting for the [[GlorySeeker fame]] and the [[OnlyInItForTheMoney cash]] (when he was a face at least).
* ExtremityExtremist: His main offensive asset is his long legs. He has as many variations of roundhouse kicks as he does changes of underwear.
* FaceHeelTurn: After costing him a shot at the Lucha Underground title, Johnny decided he had enough of Alberto El Patron (who had already been harassing and riling Johnny backstage for a while) and busted him through Dario Cueto's office window during the #1 contendership match against Hernandez, leaving him a bloody and neatly packaged mess for Hernandez to pin easily.
* FinishingMove: The Starship Pain, now called the End of The World ([[GratuitousSpanish El Fin del Mundo]]).
* GroinAttack: Has taken to kicking opponents in the junk while the referee's distracted.
** After taking one too many, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard karma came around to get him]] when a furious Puma [[PayEvilUntoEvil gave him a full-force soccer-ball kick square in the crotch]].
* HeelFaceTurn: After almost 3 entire seasons since his initial heel turn, Johnny seemed to turn back at the end of his feud with the Reptile Tribe- he fired up to a level not seen since Season 1 to win the match entirely clean, then passed up the opportunity to gain a wish from Kobra Moon in favour of forcing her to free Drago on behalf of his impromptu partner Aerostar. It's currently unknown whether the turn will stick, or whether it was just a temporary thing so he could propose to Taya as a face.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Johnny tends to get himself in trouble a lot, but his worst moment was in the lead-up to Aztec Warfare III, where he bailed up Dario before the match to gloat about how he intended to become the champion, and even if he didn't then he was cashing in his Gift of the Gods belt the next week anyway. He rubbed Dario the wrong way so much that Dario promptly [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem swapped his entry from #12 to #2]]. Who was #2? Sexy Star, the woman Johnny had been antagonising for most of the season before finally stealing the Gift from in the first place. Who eventually eliminated Johnny? Sexy Star. Who ''won Aztec Warfare III?'' Yep, that's right, ''Sexy Star.'' If Johnny had only been able to ''keep his big fat mouth shut'' he could well have been the one who came out with the championship, just as he'd planned.
* {{Homage}}: His proposal to Taya was one for Wrestling/RandySavage's proposal to Elizabeth.
* LightningBruiser: Johnny can take it, dish it out and fly around the ring while doing it.
* MrFanservice: Oh yeah, the ladies love him.
* NoShirtLongJacket: His ring entrance attire, topped off with some CoolShades and DramaticWind courtesy of an industrial fan.
* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: Despite the fact that Mundo cheats [[NotHyperbole literally]] ''all the time'' since he went rudo, he's never, ''ever'' been punished for it by the [[EasilyDistractedReferee inept refs]] of the Temple. Ironically, his two arguable main rivals Prince Puma and Sexy Star, the two biggest {{Face}}s in the Temple, have each been disqualified more times than he has![[note]]Although in their cases they acted out of righteous fury and didn't even ''attempt'' to disguise their actions, while Mundo has ''never'' been caught, no matter how blatant his cheating is.[[/note]]
* PetTheDog: In an uncharacteristic show of kindness, Mundo gave the wish he won from Kobra Moon to Aerostar as a reward for helping them against the Reptile Tribe, using it to free Drago from her thrall.
* RebelliousSpirit: Seems to have more of an issue with authority than the other wrestlers. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he's the most experienced American wrestler on the roster, and thus has much more experience when it comes to dealing with [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon crooked promoters]]. His motivation for leaving [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} other promotions]] was him being tired of the politics, so that's why Mundo was extra motivated in stopping Dario Cueto from trying to build another corrupt dynasty... At least, 'til Cueto corrupted him as well.
* TheResenter: Towards Alberto El Patron, and for the most part, it was quite [[JustifiedTrope justified]]. Johnny has been part of the Temple since day one and has been in some of its most legendary feuds and matches, yet El Patron came in and was treated like royalty just because he was already a champ on another show. In addition, Alberto took particular delight in pushing Johnny's buttons and costing him a shot at the LU title (which Johnny had NEVER had a shot for since Puma won it at Aztec Warfare I).
* TheRival: To Prince Puma. They were friendly with each other, but ever since he [[{{Heel}} turned heel]], Johnny was thirsting for Puma's blood and his chance at the title.
* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: Implied to be a substantial part of Mundo's motivation for competing. During a vignette about why he's in Lucha Underground, after talking about the politics that drove him away from other promotions, he discussed how he spent the time between said promotions and Lucha Underground, and the phrase "other passions" was mentioned, along with a wink from Mundo while the screen flashed a street sign for Hollywood Boulevard, champagne being popped, and him doing flips, all while he was sitting on a throne surrounded by three attractive women.
* ShoutOut: When he proposed to Taya, he made his voice deep and growly as he gritted out ''"Will.. you... marry... me?"'', and when Taya accepted he shouted ''[[CatchPhrase "Ooooooh YEAH!"]]'' and Elgar's ''Pomp and Circumstance'' started playing as he lifted Taya up and sat her on his left shoulder, all call backs to [[Wrestling/RandySavage "Macho Man" Randy Savage's]] famous on-air proposal to Wrestling/MissElizabeth in the lead up to ''Wrestling/SummerSlam 1991.''
* SignatureMove: The Avalanche Moonlight Drive and his many, MANY knee and kick variations.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He's got the looks and he's got the attitude.
%%* WildCard: He mostly used to lean more towards the {{Face}} side, but he still looked out for number one, when all was said and done. Soon he was plain ol' [[{{Heel}} heel]].

* AbortedArc: Her and Jeremiah Crane's feud with Marty "The Moth" Martinez and Mariposa, as she was injured early on in Season Three.
* ActionGirl: She doesn't call herself "the [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal baddest bitch in the building]]" for nothing.
** {{Determinator}}: But she continued to fight on despite her limitations [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome and actually led her team to WIN!]] How determined is she? She climbed a ladder using one foot and her KNEE and fended off Mr. Cisco by ''biting his hand'' to grab the Trios Champion belts for her team.
* CoolMask: Often enters the Temple with a red bandanna tied over her mouth, gangster-style (no, not [[GangstaStyle like that]]).
* FieryRedhead: Dyed her hair red before Season 3 and later began coordinating her gear to match.
* GameBreakingInjury: Injured her leg (for real) early on in the Trios Finals match and spent half of Season 1 on crutches. Injured her leg again during a ten person tag in Season 3.
* JackOfAllTrades: With extensive MMA training, Ivelisse uses a myriad of kicks from a variety of angles as well as a strong submission game, defying the "striker vs. grappler" stereotype common in mainstream wrestling and in particular women's wrestling by showing she's good at both. In addition to that, she's pulled off some pretty impressive traditional Lucha stuff, and she's got at least the attitude for street fighting.
* KickTheDog: Angelico tried to flirt with her and comfort her after Son of Havoc dumped her, she responded by punting him in the face.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Her nickname, "La Sicaria". "Sicaria", the feminine version of "Sicario", roughly translates to "assassin" in Spanish.
* RedBaron: "The Baddest Bitch in the Building", later "La Sicaria".
* SpicyLatina: Puerto Rican, to be exact, and you KNOW what they say about Puerto Ricans...
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Son of Havoc and Angelico during the first Lucha Trios tournament. Havoc was done with Ivelisse's bossy attitude, Ivelisse played the jilted lover wanting revenge, and unless Angelico was somehow flirting with Ivelisse he just asked what the hell he was doing there. However, all three of them were professional enough to keep their differences outside the ring and actually delivered when the time came, although during their first match Ivelisse ''did'' walk out on her teammates, and was actually affronted when Havoc went on to win anyway.
* {{Tsundere}}: She could switch from sweet and supportive to prime bitch-beast on Havoc on a dime. [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal He eventually got fed up with it]]. She displayed the same behavior towards Jeremiah Crane, but [[InLoveWithYourCarnage it only turned him on]].

For tropes relating to Rosa, please see the [[Characters/LuchaUndergroundSeasonFour Season Four]] page.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Interesting in that he's an American wrestler who has adapted beautifully to the high-flying Mexican lucha style. No Mexican luchador in the roster has been able to make Johnny look bad.

One of ''Lucha Underground'''s most eye-catching luchadores, Drago is one of the show's top tecnicos and most exciting [[IHaveTheHighGround high-flyers]]. While initially a main-stay of the show's midcard, Drago was eventually put by Dario Cueto in a best-of-5 series against fellow high-flying tecnico Aerostar in order to fight for one of Cueto's "unique opportunities." This made bad blood develop between the two tecnicos, enough to actually cost them a shot at the Trios title when they were teamed up with Fenix in the Trios tournament. Drago won the series and earned Cueto's prize: a shot at Prince Puma's Lucha Underground Championship. However, Cueto also put a little catch in the fine print: if Drago failed to win the title, [[LoserLeavesTown he would be banned from competing in the Temple permanently]]. Unfortunately, the referee was knocked out during the match and Drago managed to get the long pin with no one there to count, only for Hernandez to interfere and cost Drago the match. Afterwards, Drago met with Dario Cueto and swore [[ItsPersonal he'd come back for him]]. A man... or dragon... of his word, Drago made a triumphant return when Dario Cueto set up a match for the #1 Contendership, the winner of which would receive their shot at ''Ultima Lucha''. The match would be composed of wrestlers who have challenged Prince Puma for the title before, and Drago demanded to be included, as he himself had faced Puma for the title in the very match that got him banished. Cueto agreed to let Drago compete on the condition that if Drago lost the match, not only would he once again be banished from the Temple, but he'd also be forced to unmask. However, Drago managed to win the match, but unfortunately lost his title shot to Mil Muertes not long after. He then set his sights upon Hernandez, the man who caused him to be banished from the Temple, and defeated him in a Believer's Backlash (fans wielding leather straps) match at ''Ultima Lucha''. After ''Ultima Lucha'', Drago bid farewell to his friend Aerostar, and flew away into the sky to parts unknown.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Surprisingly played with. Drago is one of ''Lucha Underground's'' high-flyers, but he also knows when to do mat wrestling and [[GenreSavvy to avoid doing high-flying moves when it's too risky]].

* IHaveTheHighGround: Biggest mistake you can make in a Lucha Underground match: be outside the ring while Aerostar is in it and not look up.

Mundo returned to the Temple for Aztec Warfare IV. After some tension with factionmate Ricky Mundo, who had seemingly come under the spell of a strange doll, he made the mistake of eliminating Daga. This prompted an upset Kobra Moon to unleash Vibora on him, after which he was pinned by Marty "The Moth" Martinez. In revenge, Mundo and Taya first antagonized then attacked Moon and Drago after Drago's loss to DA Jr. Mundo gathered all of the Worldwide Underground together to announce that the Reptile Tribe had declared war on them, and was creeped out after being introduced to Ricky's doll, Rosa. He then ordered Jack Evans to challenge one of the Reptiles to a match, and was annoyed when Evans chickened out. He and Taya later competed against Moon and Daga, defeating their rivals with the assistance of Black, but were then attacked by Vibora, who wiped out all three. Mundo was able to get away at the expense of his allies, and looked on helplessly as Taya and Black were tormented by the Reptiles and Moon declared that she would make him kneel and call her his queen. Mundo soon took the fight to Vibora, though even with the Worldwide Underground's help he lost to the Reptile Tribe's enforcer. Post-match, he and his cronies were run off by the Reptiles. Along with Taya and Ricky, Mundo attacked Daga after a match with PJ Black then they all fought with Vibora after he and Drago intervened, and they were dispatched from the ring. Addressed by Moon, Mundo made a deal for a match where, if the Worldwide Underground lost, Mundo would join the Reptiles, and if they won, she would grant one wish for him. Later, Mundo and Taya infiltrated the Reptile Temple, where they were found by Vibora. After a rough battle where they were able to overcome the Reptile Enforcer, they fled the scene after Taya decapitated Vibora, with Mundo retrieving his NiceHat before telling Drago, who had seen everything, that they were never there.

* {{Cowboy}}: Mostly in vignettes, but is also never without his NiceHat and bullrope.

* NiceHat: His deer head headdress, which he wears to the ring and places in the corner turnbuckle before the fight.
** Also in a meeting with Dario over his upcoming cage match with Mundo, he sported a nice white hat.

* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Wrestling Guy]]: While Johnny can get along well with other people, he still thinks he's better than them, and he's usually right. His attitude understandably rubs people the wrong way, though.

* [[SignatureMove Signature Moves]]: The Avalanche Moonlight Drive and his many, MANY knee and kick variations.

* [[WildCard Tweener]]: He mostly used to lean more towards the {{Face}} side, but he still looked out for number one, when all was said and done. Soon he was plain ol' [[{{Heel}} heel]].

* [[SignatureMove Signature Moves]]: Pick a variation of the powerbomb and he'll have used it by the end of the match.

* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Lucha Guy]]: Hernandez couldn't help but smirk every time he got ahead in a match.

* [[GangBangers Gang Banger]]: Certainly had the look and the attitude.

* [[HenpeckedHusband Henpecked Boyfriend]]: He was very much this while still with Ivelisse.

* [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]]: Sexy Star would have one less working arm if Vampiro had not intervened to save her from Pentagon Jr.

* {{Determinator}}: Took this up to eleven in Season 4, when he won the Gift of the Gods and declared his intent to defend it against all-comers all the way to Ultima Lucha Cuatro, where he would cash it in for a shot at the championship. He even refused to forfeit the Gift of the Gods after being attacked by Fenix, which partially resulted in him losing it.

** Taken [[UpToEleven up to eleven]] in the championship match at ''Ultima Lucha'': he finished Prince Puma by executing his finisher, the Flatliner, from the top rope, making THE EARTH QUAKE.

* BadassBeard: Grew one as the show progressed.

* BadassBeard: Which looks pretty cool coming out of his mask.

* MixedAncestry: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EolEwAXyTB8 According to Mariposa]], Marty is a "half-blood", which means presumably his mother wasn't from the Moth Tribe.

!!Fenix

* AnimalMotifs: The legendary Phoenix. Living up to his namesake, [[IHaveTheHighGround Fenix flies above everyone else]] and [[{{Determinator}} always gets back up no matter how many times he's beat down]].
* ArchEnemy: No hatred is as deep and intense within the Temple walls as the one between Fenix and Mil Muertes. It has been the driving force of both wrestlers' lives for both seasons of ''LU'' so far.
** Shades of this exist between him and Catrina as well, though their relationship is a lot more complicated.
* CameBackWrong: The double whammy of coming back from the dead and being pulled forward through time (plus whatever else may have happened during the life force transition) had this effect on Fenix, turning him into a drooling, near-mindless, feral creature who didn't seem to know friend from foe. It was later revealed that this was Catrina's doing, as her possessing his life force had tainted it.
* CoolCar: Drives a Trans Am bedecked in phoenix iconography, of course the car is also known as a Pontiac Firebird.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Gave Mil Muertes his first decisive loss in LU, but it only brought Muertes' wrath down upon him. Fenix was more than ready to rise up and face him again.
* '''{{Determinator}}''': Fenix's determination borders on the superhuman, and he will never give up no matter who he is facing. Even if he is defeated, he will rise again, like his namesake. In fact, it was probably his willpower alone that allowed him to finally defeat Mil Muertes in the Grave Consequences match.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Began dressing all in black after he CameBackWrong.
* {{Face}}: One of Lucha Underground's most popular ones, at that...until Season 4, that is.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Fenix is one of the smaller luchadores on the roster, but catching him is no easy task, and even if you do, he has the [[{{Determinator}} willpower]] to get him through.
* FinishingMove: Fire Driver, later dubbed the Black Fire Driver after he CameBackWrong.
* IHaveTheHighGround: One of the show's top flyers, along with Drago and Aerostar.
* LightIsGood: Dresses up in bright colors (most of the time) and outfits and is a face.
** DarkIsEvil: After he CameBackWrong, he began to dress in all black.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving one of these in the Grave Consequences match. Mil Muertes even ripped off his mask and '''[[ManBitesMan bit his forehead bloody]]'''. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome It didn't work]].
* OhCrap: Going into Aztec Warfare II, Fenix had to start at #1 again, but he'd almost made it to the end from the same position in Aztec Warfare I[[note]]while Johnny Mundo had started at #2 and made it all the way to the final 2[[/note]] and this time he was the reigning champion, giving him even more to fight for. Then the #2 was announced... Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Fenix's face just fell]] and he looked down at his championship belt like it was a child that was about to be taken away from him by social services.
* RealLifeRelative: He's Pentagon Dark's brother.
* RedBaron: "The Man of a Thousand Lives" (directly contrasting Mil Muertes' "Man of a Thousand Deaths"), has also been tagged the "Bird of War".
* {{Thememobile}}: Drives a Pontiac Firebird fully decked out with phoenix decals.
* UnwittingPawn: Catrina used him in her schemes, telling him to his face that she used him as a pawn in her scheme to make Mil Muertes more powerful. Later, however, Catrina would express regret for manipulating him, though it certainly would not stop her from using him again to attain full life.
* WorthyOpponent: ''May'' be receiving this from [[ArchEnemy Mil Muertes]]; the latter pulled a VillainousRescue of Fenix from the monster Matanza Cueto after the monster started pounding on an already defeated Fenix. The biggest reason for the attack was as part of [[EvilVersusEvil Muertes and Matanza's escalating feud]], but after driving Matanza off, Muertes gave Fenix a look...then walked off.
* WouldntHitAGirl: To his disadvantage, as Ivelisse had no problem hitting him. Took it to practically ''patronising'' levels during his match against Mariposa, dancing around her for over a minute at the start of the match without attacking and even going to deliver a superkick only to pull it back at the last second when she flinched.

The Biker from the Open Road, Son of Havoc has been a mainstay in Lucha Underground since the first episode. He formed a relationship with Ivelisse, but despite winning his first match in his debut, he suffered a losing streak that lasted for months. Ivelisse also got tired of him losing and began trying to 'help' him (aka yelling at him) during his matches, which more often than not backfired. Eventually, Ivelisse humiliated Havoc by saying she had to fight his battles for him, specifically against his then-rival Angelico. Havoc finally had enough and dumped her during his final match against Angelico, and subsequently scored his first win in a long while. However, the two broken lovebirds were made a Trios team with Angelico against their will, and surprisingly won their first match. Afterwards, in the Trios tournament final, Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico managed to work together as a team to weather not only the onslaught of the other two teams, but the last-minute addition of The Crew as well, and won the inaugural Trios championship. His team faced The Crew a second time and lost, but then they had their '''spectacular''' third match, a ladder match to defend their title, and they retained in amazing fashion. Havoc and his team defended the title time and again against all odds, but their luck eventually ran out; they were targeted by Catrina, and her charges The Disciples of Death defeated them at ''Ultima Lucha'' for the Trios championship.
\\\
After setting out on the open road with his partners, he returned with Angelico and Ivelisse demanding a match with the Disciples, only to be derailed by Catrina into a triple threat for a shot at Mil Muertes, one that Havoc lost. Later, he and his teammates would show how much they had grown as a proper team by defeating Chavo Guerrero and the Crew, and were soon able to reclaim their titles. After a successful defense against the Disciples of Death, they were forced to put their titles on the line yet again in the Trios tournament finals. They went on to lose the titles in the final round when an injury to Angelico forced them to fight short-handed. They were given a partner, Johnny Mundo, for the rematch, but once again lost. Returned to singles action soon after, successfully defeating Daga even after interference by Kobra Moon. Competed in a 12-person match for a chance at #1 Contendership, but his team lost. Won the Unique Opportunity mini-tournament at Ultima Lucha Dos, with his Unique Opportunity being a choice between $250,000 and a guaranteed title shot at Ultima Lucha Tres. Havoc took the latter, but fell victim to the catch. He had to defeat the debuting Dr. Wagner Jr. to keep the shot, and unfortunately, he failed to do so, losing the shot. He has sworn revenge towards Famous B. and Wagner Jr. for depriving him of his Opportunity.
\\\
Ironically enough, Havoc did receive his title shot in the first episode of Season 3 via "Dario's Dial of Doom"; though he put up an admirable effort, he was defeated by Matanza. Recuperating in his mother's basement, Havoc was visited by Mascarita Sagrada, and the two bonded over their mutual hatred of Famous B. Returned to the Temple with Sagrada in tow to face Wagner Jr. and Famous B., but ended up on the losing end. Havoc and Sagrada would speak to Dario Cueto, who not only granted Sagrada a match against Famous B., but would allow the winner of Havoc vs. Dr. Wagner Jr. to pick the stipulation. Havoc triumphed, and at Sagrada's request, he made the match a Believers' Backlash match, with the Believers bringing their own weapons to use. During the Believers' Backlash match, he drove off an interfering Wagner Jr. before returning to celebrate Sagrada's win, presenting Sagrada with his own vest. Competed in Aztec Warfare III; met Ivelisse's current boyfriend Jeremiah Crane during the match, a meeting which did not go well. He was eventually eliminated by the Worldwide Underground. Competed in the Battle of the Bulls, but did not win his four-way. Reunited with Angelico to face Jack Evans and PJ Black, but came out on the losing end. During The Mack's All Night Long championship match against Johnny Mundo, Havoc showed up dual-wielding kendo sticks to even the score when PJ Black interfered on Mundo's side, and later assisted Sexy Star in running off Ricky Mandel. Faced the debuting Son of Madness in the first round of the Cueto Cup. As he did not know who his opponent was prior to the match, he was shocked and angered at the discovery. Though he defeated Madness, his fellow motorcycle club member would get the last laugh, beating Havoc down and stealing his kutte. Prior to his second round match with Dante Fox, Madness struck again. Dario Cueto offered Havoc the chance to withdraw from the tournament, but Havoc turned him down. Gutting it out, he went to war with Fox, only barely losing. While drinking, Havoc was approached by Madness, and after a quick scuffle Madness stated that he would make Havoc's life a living hell until he returned to their motorcycle club: the Invisible Cult. Havoc saved Sagrada from a post-match beatdown by Madness, then fought and defeated Madness in a Boyle Heights Biker Brawl, claiming an Aztec Medallion in the process. Stared down Pentagon Dark after putting his Medallion into the Gift of the Gods. As the Gift of the Gods match ended in a draw between himself and Pentagon (as they had pinned their opponents at the same time), Dario placed them into a ladder match for the vacant title at Ultima Lucha Tres, which Havoc would unfortunately not win.
\\\
As Havoc entered Aztec Warfare IV at #3, he became an impromptu Trios champion alongside Killshot and The Mack, replacing Dante Fox, who had failed to appear. He pinned Killshot, but was ultimately pinned by Pentagon. Havoc joined his Trios partners in successfully defending the Trios titles against Famous B's handpicked challengers, Big Bad Steve, Sammy Guevara, and Jake Strong. Was technically defeated in a three-way also featuring Mack and Killshot, but as he was not pinned, he received an Aztec Medallion as per the stipulation attached to the match by Antonio Cueto. After placing his Medallion into the Gift of the Gods, he had to compete in a battle royal against his fellow Medallion holders, in which he voluntarily eliminated himself to give his partner The Mack the win. As he was not selected to be removed from the Gift of the Gods match by Mack, he was still allowed to compete for the title. Havoc and Ivelisse selected Mack to join their team in the Trios match organized by Antonio Cueto prior to the actual Gift of the Gods match, but he was pinned by King Cuerno, eliminating his team from the Gift of the Gods match itself. He was then accidentally(?) attacked by Killshot, who had attempted to intervene against Mil Muertes, who had attacked Mack. Despite his partners still being at odds, the three of them banded together to successfully defend the Trios titles against the Rabbit Tribe, though Killshot visibly expressed his growing dislike for Havoc at the same time. Havoc spoke to Mack backstage, sharing apprehension about Killshot making their Trios title defense before stating that Killshot just didn't like him, something Killshot quickly confirmed after accusing him of trying to turn Mack against him. Said defense against the Reptile Tribe went downhill when Havoc accidentally hit Killshot, causing Killshot to retaliate and costing them the titles. He was then berated and attacked by Killshot, but saved by Mack, who attempted to mediate between the two only to be rebuffed as Killshot walked out.
\\\
During Killshot's match with Big Bad Steve, Havoc appeared with soda and popcorn, settling into the front row to watch the match. Afterward, Killshot confronted and attacked him, and the two fought, with Havoc unmasking Killshot. He would soon face Killshot one-on-one, and though he would win, Killshot would gain a measure of revenge by unmasking him. He watched his friend Mack face Killshot from a balcony, then climbed down to help Mack after Mil Muertes attacked, brawling with Killshot in the process. Faced Killshot in a Mask vs. Mask match at Ultima Lucha Cuatro, one that he narrowly won even with Killshot taking him to the limit. After the match, he received Killshot's mask directly from him, then watched as he departed the Temple.

While Dario had indeed passed away from his wounds, Aerostar went back in time after Ultima Lucha Cuatro and revived him using the power of the Piedra Immortal. [[spoiler: A couple of years after the last season of Lucha Underground, his presence was alluded to in Wrestling/{{MLW}} Fusion for the first quarter of 2021 to which he himself made an appearance during the season finale of MLW Fusion, being revealed as the owner of a new temple dubbed [[Wrestling/PromocionesDorado Azteca Underground.]]]]

** ActionGirl: Once she'd had enough of Marty creeping on her, she teamed up with Fenix to enter the ring against him and Mariposa herself. Slightly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in that they lost when Melissa was pinned, but not enough to render her a FauxActionGirl- basically [[RealityEnsues she did as well as a non-wrestler who'd received some limited training to prepare herself might expect to do against a pair of trained wrestlers]].

* WouldHitAGirl: While men and women regularly fight each other in The Temple, Pentagon went as far as to attempt to “sacrifice” ring announcer Melissa Santos.
