Edward

''"Yo soy, Edwardo!" ''

Edward comes from a long line of Lucha Libre fighters and was trained as a young boy to follow in the family business. Ed was taught the techniques of his ancestors, but he was reluctant to train for his true passion was science. During the day, he would train and learn the ancient maneuvers of his ancestors. Meanwhile, at night, he would secretly study various textbooks to further his education. At the age of 15, Ed, now a man, left home and began college. Before he could graduate, Ed got a job to work for the Mexican government doing research in a laboratory.

At the age of 18, Ed became the leader of his own project whose goal was to find an effective way to kill mosquitoes. The Mexican government was worried about the spread of mosquito-borne diseases and green-lit the project. Ed, with the help of his team, created a disease that was effective at minimizing the birthrate of mosquitoes. He decided to reveal the spoils of his efforts to the Mexican government who approved further testing of the new bio weapon. The government took Ed's team to a remote location in the Amazon rain-forest.

A few months into testing, an accident occurred and several infected mosquitoes escaped the lab. The man-made virus was very effective at killing the mosquitoes but it had an unintended outcome; The disease spread to humans making them sick and caused serious harm to the fetus of pregnant women. The disease was named the Zeeka Virus and became an international incident, this event also lead to the Dai Jer'nez Civil War. The Mexican government scrubbed the project, fired Ed, and covered up the incident. Ed fled to America and became a maintenance man due to his shame. He took up the mantle of "Maniaco de Laboratorio" in order to right his wrongs.
