Notes

Long time CMLL opening match tecnico, lasting from 1996 to 2009. Usually apart of the first or second match on the card. Faced his brothers Super Comando & Artillero many times, though CMLL's never publicly acknowledge their relationship.

Vanished without a mention in April 2009. A few weeks later, Bengala debuted, in the same opening match tecnico position and using the La Sombrina finishing hold. Despite the slightly different background info, it's probably Sombra de Plata under a new name.

Was injured in early 2024 and got leg surgery,^[1] jury's out on whether he'll be able to return.^[2]
