Rodolfo Rivera is the tritagonist of El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera. He is the superhero father of Manny Rivera, as well as the son of Manny's Grandpapi, and ex-husband of Maria Rivera. On the outside of his superhero persona, Rodolfo is definitely the sterotypical hero type personality that will stand up for anything that is good.

He is voiced by Eric Bauza who also voiced Buhdeuce, Puss in Boots, Driba, Marvin the Martian, Hubie and Bertie in the New Looney Tunes, & Scrooge McDuck in The Legend of the Three Caballeros.

Appearance[]

Rodolfo's superhero persona is "White Pantera", fitting the Rivera family's cat superhero motif while highlighting that he's the unambiguous hero of the family. He wears a white suit and a luchador mask with cat ears. He dons a grey jacket and a pair of glasses over his White Pantera garb, which includes the mask (which he usually only removes at home) and making no effort to hide the boots. When unmasked, he has black hair with gray sideburns, with black eyebrows and a black mustache.

Personality and Traits[]

Described as a legendary hero by the intro, Rodolfo is known for his good deeds and powers he has done in the past. He is semi-retired, but has about as much trouble giving up being White Pantera as his father has giving up being Puma Loco (he never removes his magic boots, even when asleep, and only seems to take his mask off to do laundry and shave). Although he often holds a heroic and noble stature, he is easily excited, and tends to get childlike (such as waving his hands and giggling). Opposite of his father, Rodolfo wishes for Manny to become a hero. Although his father is a supervillain, he doesn't seem to hold it against him at all. Even if their views are different, the most he seems to ever do is give Grandpapi a scolding look (which, many times, will cause Grandpapi to back down). He is still in love with his ex-wife Maria; every time he is around her, he flirts with her. He even went as far as to hang a large painting of Maria and is said to have dinner with it every night (though he claims he put it there to "cover a hole").

Abilities[]

White Pantera obtains his abilities from his Bronze Boots of Truth. These boots grant him super speed, strength, and agility along with the ability to walk up vertical surfaces and forces whoever touches them to tell the truth.

Super Speed[]

His boots enable White Pantera to move at supersonic speed, allowing him to catch up to criminals much faster.

Boots of Truth[]

The boots can also make someone tell the truth against their will. Grandpapi, Frida, and the Titanium Titan are 3 of those who have been victims to this type of power.

Of those, Grandpapi was the only one shown whom White Pantera himself tried this particular power on. Frida allowed himself to get affected intentionally to test them. However, Titanium Titan had a Truth Proof Vest though that rendered him immune to the effects.

Trivia[]

  • In the storyboard pitch of "Sole of a Hero", White Pantera's "Power Punch Kick" was originally written as an actual punch, not a kick. Afterwards, it became obvious that the boot-themed superhero should have a kick against his most powerful villain, Voltura's attack.
  • In Dia De Los Malos, Rodolfo comes out of the bathroom with a comb in his hand, combing something back. But already had his mask on, so what was he combing? His mask?
  • In Eye Caramba, it is seen on White Pantera's super hero license that he is an organ donor.
  • Pantera means "Panther" in the Hispanic language.
  • in "Eye Caramba" it is revealed that he used date Voltura (Zoe's mother) in High School, until he broke up with her.
