Super Chicha

Super Chicha was a fictional character created by designer Guillermo Afonso for the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1999, when the carnival was devoted to comic books and a patriotic superhero of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) was created. It was dubbed "Super Chicha" i.e. "Super Chicharrero" (Chicharrero popular is the adjective of the inhabitants of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife). To create that character inspired Captain America.

By building the carnival scene in 1999, a giant statue of Super Chicha located in the center of the stage accompanied a smaller sculpture of Lara Croft and other superheroes of the comic world was created. He served as a backdrop to the huge picture wall that mimicked the page of a comic book and a Super Chicha punching and shield in the other hand seemed to be coming out of it.

Super Chicha wears a blue mask with white wings between his temples, and the word "Sch" on the forehead, chest blue and white gloves, the rest of the suit is blue with white boots. Super Chicha carrying a circular shield, the shield has the colors and shape of the flag of Tenerife, i.e. blue background with a white cross topped shaped blade.

Today, Super Chicha remains one of the most beloved characters of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
