Gotta love classic Marvel. The Stan and Jack days.
The Matador is a bit ridiculous but also very cool.
This is the Marvel wiki page bio of his:
Manuel Eloganto, aka The Matador, was a world-famous bullfighter. However, his brutality in the arena made him very unpopular amongst the crowds. In one fight, he was being booed out by the audience which made him become distracted from the fight and he was severely hurt by the attacking bull. Eloganto survived the incident, but swore revenge upon the world and turned to crime.
He ran up against Daredevil, and various other superheroes over the years. At one point, he manipulated the Man-Bull into stealing the Golden Bull of China for him. Later, he reformed, paid his debt to society, and resolved never again to disgrace his family name as he had in his youth.
Nevertheless, he later became targeted by the Scourge of the Underworld organization, but the Scourge sent to carry out the hit could not bring herself to kill him, as he was babysitting his sister's children at the time.
Years later he had seemingly given up crime and was looking for employment when he was unwittingly involved in a scheme against Daredevil where false memories were implanted in his mind to mess with and distract Daredevil from the true mastermind The Ringmaster.
Have you ever read this, Wolf? wolf
I love how Daredevil is able to lure The Matador to him by calling a press conference as Murdock, exclaiming that Daredevil and The Matador are in fact the same. This of course played on The Matador's ego, and he went after Murdock because he made such claims. Knowing this, Murdock made sure that Daredevil was waiting for him.
Also, I love how a random NY lawyer is able to randomly call a press conference and get a bunch of media guys to come to it.
Great story though.
