Powers/Abilities: Flea was once briefly shrunk down to the size of an insect, but this was not a power so much as an accident. Eating healthy food transforms him into Buena Flea, but eating junk food will change him back.

History: The Flea is a student at the Foremost World-Renowned International School of Lucha, and hopes one day to become the greatest masked wrestler in the world.

Flea normally lives off junk food and trash - however he once ate an apple, and healthy food had a mutagenic effect on him, instantly transforming him into the healthy looking, clean living Buena Flea. Buena Flea is an uncompromising good guy, so much so that no one can live up to the high standards he sets. Buena Flea also wanted to modify the Code of the Masked Wrestler to make it fairer, so that every match would end in a draw and no one could get hurt - upon hearing this Buena Girl tricked him into eating some junk food salvaged from a trash can, instantly returning him to normal.
