OK, a brief rundown of El Gaucho. He first appeared alongside the rest of the Club of Heroes in the 1950s in two stories. Back then, he was much more of a stereotype, though that was hardly unique. So was every other member save for Batman and Superman.

In Grant Morrison's run, El Gaucho was resurrected in this form in the Black Glove arc that brought the Club of Heroes back. He was much better written, and was given a very gung-ho personality. He's a manly man. He's most recently appeared in Batman Inc., in a three issue arc that centered around his and Kathy Kane's past together as spies. The tango thing is directly taken from this arc- tango is very important as a concept and a literal thing.

He's not exactly a minor character, though he is somewhat obscure. I mean, the guy even appeared in Brave and the Bold. That goes for him, right?

Hope that clears him up for you guys who don't know who he is.

Funny, at 1st I was seeing Jack Black from Mucha Libre type of a joke character then I looked at the dial & realized the guy was no joke.

On one hand, I'm glad he's a new character to clix. On the other, I'm not sure I much care for him.

Was he on season 3? I own & watched seasons 1 & 2 on DVD & don't remember him. I saw most of season 3 on live TV and the DVD is in transit as I type this.

Yup, he was in the cold opening to "The Knights of Tomorrow!", which involves the Batmen of Many Nations fighting the Jokers of Many Nations.

The sad part is that they had not the gentleness to check spelling and grammar.
I know your language dominates the planet. but do not insult us this way.

tango del muerte (tango of death) is wrong too, should be tango de la muerte.
they neet to improve theyre reserch fu...

They used Google to translate it from English. I had a good laugh when I was reading the powers.

Yep. You nail it right on the head. If they would just ask an Spanish Speaker (From Argentina of course since the Character is an Argentinian not a Mexican) to translate I would've applaud their effort. But using Google to translate just makes me laugh out loud.

Sorry. I initially mis-read this as El Guapo. My excitement has died down considerably when I noticed a suspicious lack of skateboard. But, as previously mentioned, this will make a fantastic Trejo click, and I still have hope of seeing Nightrunner.
