Ed's Notes: Took me a while to make the connection between THIS GUY and the Suicide Squad Movie. (Hence why he's indexed with the Suicide Squad, despite not having a Connection Advantage.) BTW, are those henna tattoo's? (Or sharpee?) Because otherwise, it shouldn't take too long for people to figure out his Secret Identity!
The Who's Who lists some details of just a couple of the Motorcycle stunts he might use:
Attacking from moving motorcycle: Uses the cycle's Running Power as EV. After attack must make a successful Vehicles check against 4/4 (Difficult) to avoid falling off the bike. If he falls, both he and the Bike are attacked 7/7 (Running) against their Body/Body.
Jumping over an obstacle: Requires successful Vehicles check against: 4/4 (Difficult) for a 5' gap, 6/6 (Strenuous) for a 10' Gap, 8/8 (Extreme) for a 15 ' Gap, and 10/10 (Pushing the Limit) for a 20' Gap. Cannot jump farther without a ramp. Use of a ramp grants up to -3 CS Bonus to OV/RV, depending on the ramp's size and quality. A note on the Los Diablos gang: He did not recruit them. This is an impromptu band of followers, of varying competence, who are as interested in uncovering his secrets as they are in helping fight crime. So he occasionally views them as much a liability as an advantage.
2nd Edition (ADCU) grants him 85 hero Points; omits the Kevlar Vest, Member of Los Diablos and that Miscellaneous Advantage about residents of Dos Rios; gives him the Guilt drawback; include "Former Public Defender" under his occupation and stats out his bike like this:

(weaker but faster.)
This character has nothing to do with any later versions of El Diablo. This character was a late 80s Hispanic hero in South Texas. The image you have for him is wrong as well. Mike Parobeck was the artist on the series and it was pretty good, albeit a little slow, which is probably why it didn't last more than a year and a half.
