Profile

Zeus was born on September 23rd, 1947 in the small town of Ario de Rosales, Michoacán, Mexico. He trained under El Enfermero and debuted in July 1966. His nickname was "El Enmascarado Purpura" and he was one of many to use the name of Zeus, who was the god of the sky, lightning and thunder in Ancient Greek mythology.

He feuded with El Dinámico in 1968. Dinamico would go on to become Ultraman, and Zeus unmasked him on September 15th, 1968. The match was said to be a heated match with both wrestlers almost tasting defeat. He also captured the masks of Black Bull and Robin at some point, though the exact dates are unknown. He captured the mask of Angel de La Muerte on March 18th, 1975. It is unknown when, but he captured the mask of a Corsario Negro during his career and then captured the mask of his partner Corsario Negro II on July 22nd, 1975. It appears that he also feuded with the Villanos during this time.

He competed in the 1977 Toneo De La Muerte. The event was a one night losers advance double mask vs double mask tag team tournament.

During the battle royal to determine seeding, he was placed with Pantera Azul. The team lost to Huracan Ramirez and El Matematico in the first round. They were then defeated by Villano I and Masked Marvel in the semifinals. In the finals, they met Estrella Blanca and Ultraman. Zeus and Azul were defeated and were forced to unmask, with Ultraman getting revenge for his 1968 mask loss as El Dinamico against Zeus.

Little is known of Zeus' career after due to a lack of information from the time period, though it seems he did keep wrestling through at least 1978.
