* CluelessAesop: This is arguably the main problem with the series. Basically, the series is trying to [[PrejudiceAesop talk about racism]]. However, the presentation is so garbled that it can be unclear what the actual point is supposed to be. For a specific example, "El Dia Gigante" is about how El Jefe's dad, El Yo, views El Jefe as promoting negative stereotypes of Mexican culture. Given the fact El Jefe is a combination of various Mexican stereotypes by design, you think the story would take El Yo's side. However, he unleashes a Main/{{Kaiju}} on the city to [[DisproportionateRetribution kill people for praising El Jefe]] and attempts to murder Fasto and Jewcano. This seems to suggest we aren't supposed to agree with him. So, this just begs the question of [[LostAesop what the story is trying convey]].

The story revolves around [[FiveTokenBand five super heroes]], consisting of Dr. Wang, El Jefe, Jewcano, Fasto, and Non-Stop, each based on an racial or ethnic stereotype, who join up to fight discimination. Their main opponents are [[OddlySmallOrganization The White Shadow]], headed by the White Shadow, a man with the Illuminati pyramid as a head. The show only lasted one year, but being a racially charged show, was crammed with racial tropes, played straight, subverted, and averted. All members of the team, with the exception of Dr. Wang, have non-stereotypical civilian identities.
