Fictional character biography

Duran is a Mexican wizard who is a member of the fictional "Oto tribe" (presumably no relation to the Otoe tribe of Iowa and Missouri). Disturbed by the practices of capitalist, anti-environment developers, Duran becomes their sworn enemy, and embarks on a career of eco-terrorism. He devises a plan to summon and set loose an army of monsters against the Mexican people, to punish them for the pollution they produce.[2]

Duran abducts a young girl, to his base under the Plaza de la Constitución in Mexico City, with the intention of using her as the focus of a magical ritual to summon the power of the Aztec god Ometeotl. His plans were foiled by Superman with the assistance of the Mexican heroes Iman, Acrata and El Muerto.
