HISTORY

Ricardo Tapia was a masked luchador (Masked Wrestler) using the name Vencejo (Swift) with a bird-style gimmick. When his wife died in childbirth he retired from life on the road and opened a restaurant Ricardo’s Taqueria where he worked and raised his daughter Maria. At age 9 Maria was mysteriously killed in the Taqueria, sending Ricardo down a dark path. He sold his restaurant became Vencejo the vigilante full time, hunting down and attacking criminals throughout Washington DC.

During one mission he discovered 9-year-old Mary Williams living in an abandoned car. Mary told him her mother disappeared two days ago and she was waiting in her mother’s car, but in fact, she had been gone for many months, and the car was not her mother’s. Ricardo took in the young girl, getting her away from life on the streets, seeing her his daughter in her. Mary is streetwise from her life on the street and quite capable of defending herself. However, she likes to pretend to be just a cute little girl. She took on the name Pollita (Little Chick) from the song El Pollito Pio (The Little Chick says “Cheep”), the song was Maria Tapia’s favorite.

Vencejo agreed to register and join the G-Men in exchange for Peter Jameson’s help in adopting Mary.
