[Chapter One] It is the dream of every Chicano to put on the Zoot Suit and do the dance of the Pachuco. Jesus (pronounced Hey-Zeus) Salazar was born in the barrio of East LA where he began learning to dance at an early age. Fast swing was the music and he worked constantly to perfect his style. When old enough, he put on the Zoot Suit and became the greatest dancer seen in any hall on the coast. When World War II broke out, Jesus felt the call to serve. His dance hardened physique made him a perfect choice for the new elite Commando units harassing the enemy behind the lines. He turned his ability to swing dance into a Martial Art which brought him through many a scrap! On one mission he discovered a strange new Nazi prototype teleportation device. In the struggle to assault it, he was sucked inside and arrived in Khazan. There he hooked up with the Maniacal Heroes, helping to keep the streets safe while seeking a way home... [Chapter Two] After winning the Main Event, Zoot Suit Riot retired from his brief career fighting crime and turned his attention fully to finding a way home. Despite being in Khazan, the nexus of all realities, nobody could help him get exactly back to his own world, time and place. Then, he heard rumor of a sorcerous portal located within the Fallen Citidel which could send hime back exactly where he wished. Now, once again, he is working on building up his power with one goal in mind... an assault on the Fallen home base and his ticket home.

Jesus Salazar is an honorable young man in his mid-twenties. Once a fairly happy-go-lucky person, his training as a commando, the horrors of World War II and his strange detour into Khazan has left him a hard, driven scrapper who gives out his trust only sparingly.

Zoot-Fu

     Martial Arts: Ultimate

 

Zoot's trademark fighting style is based on the wild gyrations of Swing Dance. Zoot beguiles and then bashes opponents with his odd grace. Besides this, he has trained in several martial disciplines both on Earth and in Khazan to the blackbelt level. He switches between them as needed.

 

Corazon - the heart

     Martial Supremacy: Supreme

  • Multi-Attacks

 

Focusing his Corazon - his heart - Zoot summons forth the energy during battle to punch through the toughest substances and opponents. Zoot had already begun working on his martial Chi before landing in Khazan. During his time training in Khazan he has developed his martial stunts to insane levels. Cracking adamantium blocks, catching projectiles and performing kicks and moves in mid-air which seem to defy gravity. He strikes so quickly he can hit multiple times while his opponet is still trying to get off a punch.

 

Iron Will

     Iron Will: Supreme

 

Zoot Suit Riot is single minded in his determination to pass through all barriers which seperates him from his goal - to assault the Fallen Tower and find a way home. To this end he will devote the remainder of his life, and let no one or nothing stand in his way.

 

Iron Mind

     Closed Mind: Superior

 

Zoot Suit Riot actively resists the mental domination of others. His mind is so totally focused on his martial Chi that, as a by-product, it is very difficult for Mentalists and their mind powers to break through his concentration and beguile him. Zoot loves nothing better than to smack around some wimpy mentalist who dared to poke around in the sanctuary of his mind.

 

Danger Sense

     Danger Sense: Supreme

  • Weakness: Not usable in terrain - Hall of Mirrors

 

Zoot Suit Riot seems to sense incoming blows and threats just before they occur. Indeed, Zoot's concentration on his opponet is so profound that even the most versatile martial masters seem to telegraph their strikes to Zoot - a slight muscle twitch, a narrowing of the eyes - it speaks worlds to Zoot Suit Riot who readies for the danger and gets out of the way.
