The Condor

The Condor is an animated superhero film released in 2007, whose title character was created by Stan Lee. The story centers around Tony Valdez, a Latino teenager, professional skater and the son of two wealthy scientists, who are on the verge of a new breakthrough in nanotechnology. However, everything seemingly goes awry when Tony's parents are killed in a (not-so-accidental) car crash and he is attacked and beaten, leaving his legs permanently broken and him supposedly unable to walk again. But here comes science to the rescue! His closest friend, Sammi (who secretly loves him) had studied his parents' research and comes up with mechanized leg braces, which inject him with nanobots and enable him to walk again. She also builds him an unbelievably high-tech skateboard and a personalized helmet, with a heads-up display visor. With all this in tow, he becomes The Condor and sets about finding out the truth about his parents' deaths, and putting a stop to plans by Nigel Harrington (his parents' former business partner) and the assassin Taipan, to use their research for villainous intent.

So basically, we have a Latino teenager, who is a cripple and yet a skateboarding superhero.

This film contains examples of; "Tony: Oh, trust me. She's not Miss Silicone, she's Miss Natural."
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The character was created by Stan Lee and the script written by Marv Wolfman of Teen Titans fame. With that in mind, it's a shame the film wasn't any better.

 * Berserk Button:
 * Corrupt Corporate Executive: Nigel
 * Dating Catwoman:
 * Deadpan Snarker: Tony attempts this throughout the film.
 * Creepy Monotone: Taipan talks like this with their helmet on. Done on purpose to.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: A few reviews of the film actually bring up the question of why Stan Lee didn't make Sammi the hero instead. The man himself even admits that maybe he should have done so in behind-the-scenes interviews.
 * Fiery Redhead: Sammi. If we are to take Z-Man's word for it, she's much sexier when she's angry.
 * Gainaxing: The first image we see of Valeria is Tony's POV tilting up from her legs to her face whilst she is walking towards him. And her breasts are bouncing.
 * Gag Boobs: One occurs when Sammi dubs Valeria "Miss Silicone" in a joking comment to Tony.
 * Gag Boobs: One occurs when Sammi dubs Valeria "Miss Silicone" in a joking comment to Tony.

 * It Was All A Misunderstanding: Tony's parents discover their company's technology is being used for criminal activities. Tony was easedropping and mistakenly believes they're the culprits. When he learns they had nothing to do with it and it was all Nigel, he felt guilty for thinking otherwise about his parents.
 * Jerkass: Tony's cousin Reuben who's a member of a gang.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Z-Man seems to be a skateboarding version of a Heel, but it turns out he's pust playing the part for the camera's and is good guy to have backing you up.
 * Male Gaze: Almost every time Valeria is on screen for any real length of time (up until The Reveal) we get a shot from Tony's point of view focusing on Valeria's more-than-generous bodily assets.
 * Most Common Superpower: Valeria has it.
 * Obviously Evil: Nigel and Valeria aren't fooling anybody... other than the cast, of course.
