List of El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera characters

The following is a list of characters which appear in the Nicktoons Network animated television series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.

Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brian Equahia Rivera "Manny for short" is a 13-year-old Mexican-born boy who, apart from a scar across his left eye, appears no different from any other boy his age. But looks are deceiving, because Manny is the son of the legendary hero, White Pantera, and grandson of the evil super villain, Puma Loco, and is, himself, the alter-ego El Tigre. Manny is friendly and out going, yet does not yet know if he is a Hero or a villain (similar to El Tigre I, which may cause him to develop a split personality similar to El Tigre I) giving him an antiheroic personality. He wants to be good for his father, Rodolfo, but can't resist being bad like his grandfather, Granpapi Rivera, from time to time. When Manny spins his mystical belt buckle, he transforms into the brave and powerful tiger-themed superhero El Tigre. His superhero name translates from Spanish to "The Tiger", which refers to his costume & claws. His powers include sharp, retractable claws that can cut through anything, shooting out his hand like a grappling hook, super strength, and super jumping abilities. In The Grave Escape, he gained the power to summon an ancient Tiger spirit, creating a large, green, tiger-shaped energy field around himself that mimics his motions.

A 13-year-old Spanish girl, and the youngest of 3 daughters to Police Chief Emiliano Suárez and Judge Carmela Suárez. Frida is Manny Rivera/El Tigre's best friend and the two hang out together nearly all the time. Frida isn't always the best influence on Manny, and the two are always getting into some kind of mischief. Frida doesn't have any super powers (save for one brief stint as La Tigresa in the episode bearing the same name), but is always with Manny when he's fighting crime, and is occasionally helpful, even saving Manny a few times. Her father, Police chief Suarez, is fiercely protective of "My Frida" as he calls her, and is none too fond of her hanging out with Manny, thinking it's dangerous being around him, a notion backed up by the fact that she usually gets hurt when he's in his El' Tigre persona. Frida is very different from her twin sisters Nikita and Anita, who are both following in their father's law enforcement footsteps, and tease Frida for being weird as a result. Frida, on the other hand, has a band named the Atomic Sombreros, and has a very outgoing attitude towards life, despite being very tomboyish. She dresses in a goth/punk style, complete with bright blue hair, and never goes anywhere without her favorite red goggles atop her head. Frida's arch rival is Zoe Aves, who has been pulling pranks on her since preschool. Both Frida and Zoe seek the attention of Manny, and much of their rivalry seems to stem from their mutual interest in him. At the end of "No Boots, No Belt, No Brero", Frida proclaims "Kiss me, you fool!" and kisses Manny, suggesting she has had a crush on him all along.
