Disney Super-Heroes -- Panchito

There once was an online role-playing site where Disney characters were played as super-heroes and villains. Although Fantasmic Dreams is no more, I thought that the characters I'd created, along with some who never saw the light of day, should be preserved for posterity. Let's look at Panchito from The Three Caballeros:

El Tirador (Sharpshooter)

Civilian Identity: Panchito Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Gonzalez Pistoles

Age: 29

Species: Anthropomorphic Rooster

Sex: Male

Nationality: Mexican

Alignment: Chaotic Good--well, pretty good, anyway

Group Affiliation: The Three Caballeros

Appearance: For super-heroing, El Tirador wears his old rodeo costume, which is pretty much the same as his ordinary clothes, only fancier. For secret-identity purposes, he has added a mask, and he never goes anywhere without his six-guns.

Abilities and Powers: Although he has no actual powers, El Tirador is a crack shot with a pistol. He can ride a bucking bronco, rope a wild mustang, and perform rodeo-style tricks, besides being lightning-fast on the draw. He is a very fine bullfighter, high-diver, and lucha libre wrestler. He also possesses a beautiful tenor singing voice.

Weaknesses: El Tirador's greatest weakness is for the ladies. He can't resist a fetching female, to the point of being easily misled by any femme fatale.

Panchito is not a heavy thinker, preferring action to intellectual pursuits. He has a simple way of looking at life and its problems, but he is certainly not stupid, and could learn a lot more if he had the patience.

Accessories: Thanks to Gyro Gearloose, a friend of his amigo Donald, Panchito has added to his ever-present pistolas a variety of specialty bullets that create electric blasts, gas clouds, nets, sonic disruptions, and, his personal favorite, explosive pellets, among other things.

He also carries a magic flying serape that responds to his thoughts.

El Tirador has the unexplained ability to store and carry any number of objects in his pockets, under his hat, or even behind his back and to pull them out whenever needed.

Secret Origin: Panchito has had many adventures in his life, having tried his hand at everything from bullfighting to bounty hunting to lucha libre wrestling. While cliff-diving in Acapulco, he met an American film student named Donald and a bored rich kid named José, and an instant friendship was formed that even years of separation could not weaken.

When a cattle drive brought Panchito near to the Texas border, he was consumed with a desire to see his amigo Donald in America. Sneaking across the border, he made his way to Duckburg, only to find that mild-mannered Donald Duck had become what the Americanos called a super-hero. That looked like great fun to Panchito, and the secret identity thing would help him evade deportation.

So he created the persona of El Tirador, the Masked Maverick from Mexico! It didn't take long for the pair to send for José, and together they became the crime-fighting cadre known as The Three Caballeros!
