There’s finally someone who’s doing something about drug cartels, human trafficking and corrupt border patrol agents on the border between the US and Mexico. The only problem? He’s not exactly real.
El Peso Hero is the lead character of the comic book series of the same name.

He was created in 2011 by Hector Rodriguez, a grade school teacher in Dallas, Texas. Rodriguez is the founder of Rio Bravo Comics, the publisher behind El Peso Hero.

One of the things Rodriguez is writing is a new adversary for El Peso Hero: Donald Trump.
