Personality

Most of the time, Manny is a good person with the energy and spirit of a hero. Many episodes show that Manny has a strong sense of justice and a desire to do the right thing. However, Manny also has serious potential as a Supervillain. He likes to cause trouble and get into trouble. Manny uses his powers for good more often than not, either saving innocent people in danger or defeating a villain. But sometimes Manny uses his powers for evil. Despite this, Manny does not use his powers for reasons truly evil, just for playing pranks and mischief-making. In addition, whenever Manny does something wrong, he always compensates with an act of kindness to correct what he did.

Frida Suárez

Frida Suarez is the best friend of Manny. Frida and Manny always put themselves in trouble. She even supports when Manny is doing something bad (like when Manny wanted a laser manufacturer of tattoos and stole the money from his father, who was for the purchase of guacamole for sale and Frida always supported it). This turns out to be another problem for her father, Emiliano Suarez, who despises Manny because he always puts Frida in danger. She is also Mexican-American. For a short time, Frida became the superhero, La Tigresa, when she "borrowed" the belt of El Tigre from Manny. There are certain cases where Frida has been kidnapped by a villain and El Tigre has to rescue her. It has been known that Frida always has feelings for Manny, but never really admits them.

Maria Rivera/Plata Peligrosa

Manny adores his mother Maria and is just happy to be with her when they're together. Manny is extremely protective when danger calls around his mother and will defend in a moments notice. Maria fears whenever Manny is fighting and will Panic attack with hyperventilation (or overbreathing) because she can't stand to see the danger, but she accepts Manny's duty to protect the town. Maria's rediscover of her glove powers changed her view on crime fighting in Miracle City.
