Super Muñequito (born October 26, 1966 in San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí, Mexico) is the most well known ring name of a retired Mexican Luchador enmacarado or masked professional wrestler. He started his career under the name Aguilita Solitaria and then later Angelito Azteca before adopting his most well known moniker, a Mini-Estrella version of Super Muñeco. Starting in 2010 he began working as Mini Super Astro. While he has been working in the Mini-Estrella division his entire career, it does not necessarily mean that he has dwarfism as several short wrestlers work in the "Mini" division as well, which is what separates the Mexican Mini-Estrella from traditional Midget professional wrestling as practiced in the United States among other places.
The wrestler who would later become known as Super Muñequito made his wrestling debut in 1989, promoted by the creation of the Mini-Estrellas division in Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), where they pioneered the idea of Mascota wrestlers, smaller version of high-profile wrestlers who worked for the company. Originally Mini-Estrella division creator Antonio Peña intended for him to be a smaller version of Rayo de Jalisco Jr.
When he finally made his in ring debut it was under the name "Aguilita Solitaria" ("Little Lone Eagle"), a smaller version of Águila Solitaria instead. One of his earliest recorded matches was at the EMLL 56th Anniversary Show, EMLL's biggest show of the year, where he teamed up with Fuercita Guerrera and Mascarita Sagrada to defeat Espectrito, Pequeño Goliath and Piratita Morgan on the under card. In 1990 EMLL sent him to Puerto Rico to work a match on World Wrestling Council's 17th Anniversary show, teaming with Mascarita Sagrada in a loss to Espectrito and Piratita Morgan. Back in Mexico the Minis division was represented at the EMLL 57th Anniversary Show as well, with a match where Pequeno Cobarde, Mascarita Sagrada and Aguilita Solitaria defeated Piratita Morgan, MS-1/2, and Espectrito. With the success of the Mini-Estrellas division EMLL, which had been renamed Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) only months earlier, created the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship. In the tournament to determine the first champion Aguilita Solitaria lost to eventual tournament winner Mascarita Sagrada.
