What is the origin of this Fortnite skin?
El Chapulin Colorado, which literally translates to The Red Grasshopper, is a Mexican TV comedy series that ran for eight seasons and 260 episodes in the 1970s. It stars the late Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito) in the lead role of El Chapulin Colorado. He's essentially a bumbling fool who tries his best to be a fearless superhero but often fails.
The TV show and character have become iconic in Latin American culture, and many people still cosplay as El Chapulin Colorado today. He has ingrained himself in pop culture, and nowadays, an appearance in Fortnite serves as validation.
