'''''El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera''''' (2007-2008) is a popular animated series on [[Nickelodeon]] created by a husband and wife team, Jorge Guitirrez and Sandra Equihua. It is about a 13-year-old Mexican boy, Manny Rivera, who has a magical belt that turns him into costumed superhero El Tigre ([[Gratuitous Spanish|Spanish]] for '[[Captain Obvious|The Tiger]]'<ref>Or just "tiger"; Spanish is more liberal when it comes to definite articles than English</ref>).
 
Unsure of whether he's destined to be a hero like his father, White Pantera, or whether crime is his true calling, like his grandfather Puma Loco, Manny refuses to pick one side over the other. He alternately contributes to and opposes the seedy goings-on of his town, Miracle City (described in the opening sequence as "a [[Wretched Hive|spicy cesspool of crime and villainy]]") with the aid and companionship of his best friend, Frida Suarez.
 
Although Manny is mainly good to appeal to young viewers, he frequently disobeys his honest and heroic father and partakes in "bad" acts (e.g. buying the tattoo maker, kicking the crutch that kept Casa De Adios up and thus demolishing it).
