Chapolin Colorado is the beloved Mexican superhero created by comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños, known as Chespirito, whose television series ran in the 1970s and became a staple across Latin America. The character, a well-meaning but cowardly hero in a red costume with yellow heart emblem and antennae, was later dubbed for Brazilian audiences, where he kept the name Chapolin Colorado. Decades of reruns, parodies and short online clips have kept his entrance music instantly recognisable, especially for viewers who watched the show as children.
