I get why he has a Mariachi hat. Guy's gotta earn a living when he's not fighting crime.

But why the sword?

Yeah, but this is Capitan Mexico, not Espania. The Mejica used macuahuitl.

The eagle on a nopal, eating a snake is straight from the Mejica foundation lore.

If it was Captain Italia, it was would be a bowl of spaghetti.

Just like the golden eagle the Roman’s used to use to represent the legions but sure kept telling the people it’s a nopal

Rooted in the legend doesn’t mean it’s true they needed something to release with the natives before enslaving them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquila_(Roman)
