Soon after, they formed a gang in Steelport called the Luchadores, made up of masked wrestlers who use heavy weapons and loved fistfights. As the gang grew larger, Killbane became angry and jealous of Angel's respect in the gang, therefore causing him to unmask Angel, causing him great shame. ⚠️ All copyrights belong to their respective owners! ⚠️ (You can be whoever you want, but you’re coming to him for help but referred to by Viola and the Boss.
