* Manny's friendship with [[GenkiGirl Frida]] [[LovableCoward Suarez]] doesn't make much sense. She seems like a little monster with few redeeming qualities. Manny practically has to force her to feel guilty about their shady exploits. I wouldn't have a problem with ''her'' character, except that ''Manny'' has to act out of character in order to keep her as a friend, and it goes against some of the show's themes. He calls a giant BS when his mom tries to make friends with the supervillains, and he seems drawn to noble people. For a show that's all about good, evil, and Manny doing the thing, Frida's questionable morals are never called out on.
** One of Manny's big character flaws is he doesn't stand up for himself: look at the first episode with Sergio. He accidentally insults him, but rather than apologize, he starts uneasily laughing with everyone else. He's really anxious about what people think of him.
** Manny is often tempted by the excitement of being a supervillain. And Frida, with her ChaoticNeutral personality, provides him with an excuse to act that way. That said, however, there have been plenty of times where Frida has shown that she cares about Manny.
** While there seems to be not much of a question that Frida likes Manny, what bugs me is how she encourages him to do wrong, and actually [[spoiler: didn't care that he'd taken over the world. Hell, she ''ruled'' with him.]]

Why on Earth would he be friends with [[GenkiGirl Frida]] [[LovableCoward Suarez]]?

** They ARE Mexican.....American......maybe.......The culture is supposed to be big on family, essentially yes IT DOES RUN IN THE FAMILY, it's practically a family business the Rivera are the odd ducks of the community....as it seems to be evil and good skip a generation except for El Tigres apparently......it's obviously put a strain on their relationships as well.
**A ''lot'' of the villains in this show come from villainous families. Even if they have cruel pasts, like Dr. Chipotle Jr. having his father imprisoned, they're still "evil" because they were raised that way. Think about it, you're raised with your parents beliefs and teachings. If they're being supported by their parents into being a crazy super villain, they're going to do it.
The Aves family seems to handle heartbreak poorly, it's as common in their family as the villainous outlook. Whether they were raised with that mindset or it's in their genes, they have these things in common.
* So is Manny's hand real or fake, cause when El Tigre uses his hook there's a chain attach to his "hand"
**I'm pretty sure that his hand is real, but maybe it becomes mechanical when he transforms into El Tigre? It looks like his costume gives him some slight physical changes, like the functioning cat ears and tail. His hands could change with the transformation as well.
