Appearance

His costume leans into a savage, animalistic look built mostly from jungle green, with burnt orange marking the eye mask, portions of the gloves, the shoulders, and his chest emblem. White dominates the gloves and leggings, setting off the darker colors. Spikes bristle across the mask, arms, and shoulders, and his long clawed gauntlets complete the beastly silhouette.

Personality

He is defined above all by his nerve, standing his ground against a lethal Invincible duplicate that most would have fled.

History

Almost nothing is documented about his origins beyond his real name and his recruitment by the Global Defense Agency. During the Invincible War he squared off against the variant Capevincible in an alleyway, where the sneering copy bragged about murdering his own father before unleashing a savage assault. El Chupacabra relied on sharp agility and quick reflexes to dodge and weave, and though his claws made little impression on the variant, his toughness carried him through, and he was confirmed to survive the beating.
