Fan Casting El Dorado in Return to the DC Universe

Hailing from Mexico, Eduardo Mendoza is a skilled archaeologist, intrigued by the Aztec legends of his country as well as the belief that perhaps the Aztecs were touched by beings beyond the stars. While exploring ruins, he would fall into a chasm that was made, trapping him in the temple. In the temple, he discovered a voice talking to him, and seeing the courage in Mendoza's heart, he was blessed with great power. Seeing his means to fight for right, Mendoza designed his costume off of ancient designs, and dubbed himself El Dorado, earning the nickname of the Superman of Mexico, working alone and as leader of Justicia, Mexico's own JLA.
