Manny's history was revealed only by the creator himself and only slightly in the series. He was once taken care of by both Maria and Rodolfo until the former left since she could not cope with her husband ending up hurt with every battle. Afterwords, his Grandpapi moved in and Manny was taken care of by him and his father. It was during this time that in pre-school, he was once friends with Zoe Aves. Their friendship continued until he met Frida in detention, who quickly became his best friend, thus beginning the feud between Frida and Zoe. When Frida first got kidnapped by Sartana, Manny used his El Tigre powers for the first time to save her. Unfortunately, he didn't watch what he was doing and accidentally scratched himself in the face, resulting in a scar on his face. Rodolfo warned Manny that this should be a lesson to him that his powers can hurt anyone, even himself. Since then, Manny began to use his El Tigre powers, either for helping others or just for his own benefit. This also would take him to new experiences. In a future confirmed by the creator, Jorge Gutierrez, Manny continues his life as known through the series. When he gets to high school, he dates Zoe Aves for a time but later breaks up with her after an unknown length and unknown circumstances. After high school, he goes to college, where he becomes an artist for his career without abandoning his superhero/supervillain persona of El Tigre. When reuniting with Frida, Manny falls in love with her and decides to take his relationship with Frida further, in which they eventually end up marrying. It was also stated by Jorge that Manny and Frida would have triplets; one a hero, one a villain, and one undecided. Also mentioned by the creator, Manny would finally choose the side between good or evil, but there is no information on which side he picks or when it all occurs. Although, Nickelodeon let viewers decide Manny’s fate, whether good or bad. It was revealed on the last episode and good was chosen. |

Note: El Tigre is a very inconsistent series with various showings, where higher feats such as Sartana's moon face feat exist but also much lower feats, such as how almost every episode consistently treats buildings falling on the characters as a legitimate threat and in some episodes they can either tank it with minor to major damages or be completely hospitalized. Along with those, the scaling in the show is immensely inconsistent, Manny can at times fight El Oso by himself and then other times need his entire family to fight El Oso and even then sometimes the combined might can't beat him. El Mal Verde was treated as the strongest villain in the show, and was easily defeated by Sartana. Along with this, at the end of the series, El Mal Verde was defeated by El Tigre, White Pantera, and Puma Loco with a single punch.
