Fictional Character Biography
El Toro Negro is notable for having, with the aid of fellow Spider-Man enemy and Great Game player Polestar, killed the Marvel Comics hero Nightwatch. During an attempt to kidnap the son of Nightwatch's ex-girlfriend (the boy having been declared a prize in the Great Game), Polestar used his suit's powers to peel back Nightwatch's costume (which was composed of nanites) long enough for El Toro Negro to shoot the hero directly in his exposed chest. Negro then immediately turned on and killed Polestar.
He was last seen as a captive of his sponsor Justin Hammer, who told him that he would remove Torres' weaknesses — starting with his mind. Hammer then proceeded to forcibly lobotomize the immobilized Torres.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
