We all know that the Rivera men were all fathers but we never find out about their wives except Maria and Frida. So who are Manny's female ancestors? That's what I'm going to assume. Since this was a kid's show it's safe to assume they were all married and all their kids are legitimate. Now let's take a look at what we know about the Rivera men and women. We all know the Grandpapi, Rodolfo, and Manny have had some romantic interaction with the Aves women so I'm going to assume that all the Rivera men and Aves women have had at least one type of romantic relationship. We also know that Grandpapi left Lady Gobbler for Grandmami Rivera, Rodolfo left Carmelita for Maria, and Manny left Zoe for Frida so we can assume that the Rivera men always left them for another woman. And since Sartana, Maria, and Frida are all musicians we can assume their wives were all music lovers. So here's my theory.
It starts with the Original El Tigre. Manny is Mexican so his first known ancestor is probably Mayan and we also know that as a child he was a lot like Manny so we can assume that his future wife was a lot like Frida. Rebellious and music loving with an overprotective father who had some type of authority. So The Original El Tigre starts out as a poor Mayan slave struggling weather to be good or evil who's childhood friends with a young Mayan princess who loves to sing and dance rather than be a proper princess. Her father a Mayan Emperor disapproves of this friendship fearing it could one day lead to romance not to mention expected suitors. Another thing that stands in their way is a Mayan girl who is Zoe's first known ancestor that harbors a crush on El Tigre 1 and jealousy toward the princess. When the princess becomes a young woman her father attempts force her into an unwanted marriage so she runs away with El Tigre 1 who she marries and later gives birth to Dark Leopard.
Dark Leopard is born during the Aztec times. When the conquistadors arrive he falls for a Spanish woman who attempts to the Aztec her ways through music. He betrays his people by marrying her and they have Golden Leon. Pattern repeats itself similarly with the other relatives then we get to Grandpapi.
Grandpapi dates a girl who is the daughter of a super hero and is an opera singer. They have an on again off again relationship due to him wanting to be a villain and her father being hero. He later dates and becomes engaged to her best friend Lady Gobbler and she's a bridesmaid at their wedding. At the last minute Grandpapi realizes he still loves her and decides to leave Grandmami Aves at the alter and marry Grandmami Rivera. She then has Rodolfo and passes away when he's very young.
Rodolfo dates Carmelita Aves in high school but breaks up with her after she cheats on him. He meets Maria in college where he develops a secret and shy crush on her. When he works up the nerve to ask her out, they date, fall in love, marry and have Manny. They separate but get back together when Rodolfo retires.
Manny and Frida remain friends even through high school though they start to drift apart when Manny starts dating Zoe and Frida starts dating Django. They break up with both of their dates after realizing they're in love with each other. They meet again in college, start dating, fall in love, marry and have triplets.
That's how I think it went. Does it make sense? What do you think?
