Almanza/Salazar Family
This is Almanza/Salazar family. A famous wrestling family in Mexico, most notable as the family of Místico.
The name is something of a misnomer as the family is not related to Dr. Karonte (Almanza), but Dr. Karonte (Uribe), who billed himself in the later years as the sole original.
Members
The first generation members are brother-in-laws[1] Dr. Karonte and Tony Salazar (Místico's uncle). The second generation members are mostly the sons of Dr. Karonte, namely Místico, Astro Boy, Argos, Argenis and Karonte Jr..
Magnus and Ulises Jr. are sons of Tony Salazar, and are thus cousins of Místico. However, Magnus claimed to be a brother of Místico at one point.
The third generation includes Argenis' son Night Fury[2], and at least 2 nephews of Misitico's with unknown parentage (see Other Members).

Other Members
Alexis Salazar, a CMLL photographer (amongst many other roles[3]), is also a son of Tony Salazar.
Super Átomo is also related, however the relationship is unclear.
Zareek is a nephew of Mistico's who was repackaged as Dr. Karonte II in 2022, to team with Argos (as Dr. Karonte I).[4]
Astro Boy Jr. is another nephew of Mistico's.[5]
The original Astro Boy that preceded Mistico's brother is theorized to possibly be a relative, given the similar attire.
(Mystery surrounding Uribe's 4th wrestler son at one time lead to the belief that Dr. Karonte Jr. (II) was a distinct person. The 2013 revelation that it was Mini Murder Clown[6][7] suggests that Jr. II was simply Argenis in retrospect.[8])
Mauricio Uribe is supposedly a brother of Mistico who did not get into the wrestling business. In 2024, Mauricio murdered a man by gunshot outside of his home, for drunkenly exposing himself to Mauricio's wife.[9]
