RULES: (1) I DO NOT COLLECT FRIENDS OUT OF A NEED TO BE POPULAR. MY FRIENDS LIST CONSISTS OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY AND HAVE ADDED MYSELF, OR PEOPLE WHO ADD ME OUT OF A LOVE OF THE NOCTURNAL WARRIOR,EL GATO NEGRO. I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT EL GATO NEGRO, COSTUMING, AND COMICS, SO FEEL FREE TO ADD AND MESSAGE ME. (2) HOWEVER, PEOPLE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHO CLEARLY DO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN EL GATO NEGRO, COMICS, OR GEEK-DOM IN GENERAL WILL NOT BE ADDED. IT IS OFTEN CLEAR THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE INDEED IN IT FOR THE NUMBERS ON THEIR FRIENDS LIST. (3) I WILL NOT PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT OR BAND, EVEN HERE. HOWEVER, ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME OR HAS MET ME AT CONVENTIONS KNOWS THAT I OFTEN DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT CHARITIES, BENEFITS, AND FUNDRAISERS, AS WELL AS COMIC ARTISTS AND TALENT. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP YOU. (4) THIS PAGE IS ALL ABOUT EL GATO NEGRO, NOCTURNAL WARRIOR, THUS I KEEP IT FAMILY-FRIENDLY. INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT, LANGUAGE AND PICTURES WILL BE DELETED. ONE OF THE MANY THINGS I LOVE ABOUT EL GATO NEGRO IS HIS ABILITY TO INSPIRE FEAR AND RESPECT WITHOUT THE NEED TO USE FOWL LANGUAGE OR SENSELESS BRUTALITY. (5) IF YOUR PROFILE OR PICTURES ARE SET TO PRIVATE, YOU WILL NOT BE ADDED. THIS ALSO APPLIES FOR "PEOPLE" WHO ARE CLEARLY SPAM-BOTS. (6) I HAVE NO NEED FOR FREE CREDIT CARDS, SURVEYS THAT WILL MAKE ME WEALTHY, OR MEDICATION USED FOR SEXUAL ENHANCEMENT. OFTEN TIMES, THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE PERSON HAS BEEN HACKED. BEING THE FIRST LATINO COMIC BOOK SUPERHERO WHO HAS INSPIRED OTHER LATINO CREATORS, I WILL INFORM THEM OF THE INTRUSION. IF THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE, YOU WILL BE DELETED.
...AND NOW, MY INTERESTS, IN GENERAL:
What God gave me when he brought me into this world, the "ganas" to make a difference in my community, to bring "bad luck" to those who do evil in my neighborhood.
Helping those who cannot fend for themselves, to bring a positive attitude to the youth in this generation. My never-ending battle with crime in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Spending a lot of time with my grandfather, Agustine 'Gus' Guerrero, the original El Gato Negro, giving me advice about life, about being El Gato Negro, about Lucha Libre over some hot chocolate and pan de dolce.And finally, on a slow day (like that will really happen...!), spend some time with Lady Lawyer, Narcilina 'Narci' Montoya.

About me:
.. NAME="MYSPACEPROFILESBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
Hola, This MySpace is designed to provide info and the latest update for my fans of EL GATO NEGRO, NOCTURNAL WARRIOR, published by Azteca Productions based in Dallas, Texas. The story emphasize on me, a young Latino male, Francisco Guerrero, a social worker by day...crimefighter by night. I got my moniker from my grandfather, Agustine 'Gus' Guerrero, who was a Mexican masked luchador-turned-adventurer during the 1950's and early 60's. All this takes place in 'mi barrio', the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, along the Texas-Mexico border. Of course, El Gato Negro will have his own array of colorful and unique 'super-villains'(and I will display them real soon!) that will make both Batman and Dick Tracy green with envy. The Nocturnal Warrior has been around since 1993, and I'm not planning on leaving. So, if you are a true 'Gato-Fan', then this MySpace page is for you!

Here is the latest piece from creator, Richard Dominguez.
The Nocturnal Warrior's biggest heroes who influenced him to become El Gato Negro...are now his biggest fans!
Can you identify them..?
Who I'd like to meet: First and foremost, Robert Rodriguez, for he and I have a lot to talk about. Then, it would be Zack Synder, for he too, is an awesome director. Next, it would be the Latina version of 'Charlie's Angels': Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz (at the same time!). The entire cast of SpyKids, because my creator's children would like to meet them, El Rey Mysterio of the WWE, because he could play the part of my grandfather back in his day as a luchador/crimefighter (and everyone else in the Lucha Libre world for that matter!),El Valiente and Aym Geronimo, for I will be teaming up with them real soon in the "War of the Independents" coming in July of 2008,and last but not least, his Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI for he is a great man of faith.
THE GREATEST FAN-FILM EVER CREATED, BATMAN: DEAD END
A film by Director Sandy Collora and starring Bodybuilder, Clark (Batman) Bartram. Both whom my creator, Richard Dominguez had the pleasure of rubbing elbows with while down in San Antonio, Texas for a weekend comic book convention (find out more about it in the blog above: El Gato Negro meets The Batman). Both Collora and Bartram became instant "Gato-Fans", and Collora told my creator that he would LOVE to do an El Gato Negro "short film".
NOTE: I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH...I'M ANTI-MYSPACE SPAM.
I DON'T POST USELESS SURVEYS OR CHAIN LETTERS!!!!!
IF YOUR PROFILE IS SET ON 'PRIVATE'(why have one at all?), OR IF YOU'RE UNDER AGE--I WILL NOT ADD YOU...
...AND I DON'T ADD BANDS THAT ARE JUST TROLLING FOR FRIENDS AT RANDOM. SORRY.
Thanks so much Richard. Still in shock, did not think I had a chance. A ton of talented people were in the same category. A weekend to go down in the books :). Oh and yeah she does not come with the prize lol. Her name is Carolyn Main and she did look stunning in that outfit. Vanna White got nothing on her. Also she is an awesome awesome talent. Check out her work http://www.carolynmain.com/. Thanks again
