EL SUPERIOR (THE SUPERMAN)

Humble Mayan farmer with great abilities, Decides to move to the big city of Tenochtitlán undercover as a scribe. So he can protect people from the government's injustices, and from new foreign conquistadores like Lexington Lutero and Lord Maximiliano. The Spanish fear him and avoid battles and areas he has been located. His abilities of flight and raining fire along with snow has earned him the reputation of a demon or witch haunting the Spanish's "Holy Mission" to sanctify the New World.

It bothers me how some people still believe the colonial lie that the Aztec civilization believed Cortes was Quetzalcoatl. This is a lie. They knew he was just a colonizer. Even Cortes himself wrote about it in a letter to Charles V, Cortes recounted how Montezuma told him, “See that I am of flesh and blood like you and all other men, and I am mortal and substantial.”

They knew Quetzalcoatl was from space, which is why they depicted him in a space ship. Not like how this painting depicts the colonizers taking Tenochtitlán. Montezuma didn't just hand the keys over and think Cortes was some god. It was violent colonialism.

It is a myth and a colonial lie from the 1600's that Indigenous people of the Americas thought the conquistadors were gods. They did not. This is not true, you were lied to. There were also green eyed or blue eyed people with light hair on Turtle Island.

Kukulkan is one of the three gods that was thought to have created the Earth. He is a serpent in his natural form and was responsible for teaching the Maya about such things as how to run a civilization, agriculture, and medicine. After a brief period of being on Earth Kukulcan returned to the ocean telling the Maya that he would return at some later date. This is the basis of this colonial lie. Cortes did not even have blue or green eyes or blonde or light hair, unlike the nobility of Peru and others, who they said were descended from these "gods". Look at the ceremonial costumes. They mean Quetzalcoatl was white as in paper white, non human, not "pink european colonizer white". It's a cultural memory that these masks are so often painted unnaturally white. They are depicting a species of alien whose atmosphere was damaged and did not require melanin the way humans do. Blue eyes, green eyes, red hair, are all mutations for human beings. They can happen in any human culture or race.
