El Guapo (Robbie Rodriguez), which in Spanish means either "the Handsome One" or "The Brave One" (depending on a dialect) is a fictional mutant character from the Marvel Universe who first appeared in ''X-Statix'' #9. ==Fictional character biography== Robbie was initially a stuntman for ''X-Statix: The Movie'', a fictionalized account of the popular team's exploits. He was formally recruited after he saved the team from Sharon Ginsberg, a dangerous mutant who blamed X-Statix for the amputation of her wings. He utilizes his sentient skateboard in this incident. The team thought his youth and good looks would give them a much-needed fresh face, and Vivisector in particular was attracted to him. It is initially difficult for Robbie to adjust to the devil-may-care, Hollywood lifestyle of his teammates. Though he tries to remain faithful to his human girlfriend, Consuela, he eventually has a tryst with two models that was secretly filmed by Doop and sold to the tabloids. Consuela leaves him and, unfortunately for Robbie, the sentient skateboard fancies her and took revenge by beating Robbie severely. Robbie, who prides himself on his good looks, could only helplessly cry, "Not the face!" as he was attacked. One of El Guapo's first missions involves rescuing Henrietta Hunter from ''Euro-Trash'', a group of foreign assassins. However, El Guapo had been personally sweet-talked by the team's owner, Spike Freeman (who was temporarily imprisoned by the team), into possibly betraying the team and killing Hunter in the heat of battle. 'Blind Ali', an Iraqi mutant, gets the drop on Hunter when the battle moves into an X-Statix outlet store. After a moment's hesitation, Guapo decapitates Ali via his skateboard. Yet despite this, El Guapo goes with the team's decision to later kill Hunter themselves after she grabs the spotlight and leadership position. They do not go through with the idea. Robbie adjusts to life with X-Statix. During a mission against the Taliban he asks if this was a setup by team owner and was told it was not. Minutes later, a stray missile blows off both his legs. The rest of the opponents are slain by X-Statix, which includes Hunter. Robbie is allowed to stay on the team. His skateboard serves as a makeshift wheelchair, conveying him wherever he desires to go. Robbie survives the death of more teammates, Phat and Henrietta Hunter, both killed by a murderous cult leader named Mister Code. Spike even dies, killed by the Orphan for being in league with Code. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Guapo (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
