Carmen Cortez

Carmen Elizabeth Juanita Echo Sky Brava Cortez is played by actress Alexa Vega. She is Juni Cortez' older sister.

In the first Spy Kids film, Carmen and Juni fight throughout their adventure, but eventually the two siblings deepen their bond.

Carmen is one of two main protagonists in the Spy Kids films along with her brother. Carmen's favorite meal is a Big Mac and french fries from McDonalds.

The first film reveals she has a bedwetting problem and wears diapers to bed because of it; it is unknown if she still needs diapers during the later movies.

When Carmen panics, she usually says: "Oh...shiitake mushroom." This is another 'way' to say that 's' word without sounding too vulgar. Carmen also says it during her fight with Gary Giggles.
