Los Hombres del Camuflaje (Spanish for "Men InCamouflage") was a Mexican siblingprofessional wrestlingtag team consisting ofArtillero (real name unrevealed) andSúper Comando (real name Gustavo Torres Ramirez). The team is working for the Mexicanprofessional wrestling promotionConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portrayingrudos ("Bad guys") wrestling characters. Los Hombres del Camuflaje are second generation wrestlers, sons of wrestler Principe Odin, with several of their brothers being professional wrestlers. Artillero is aLuchadorenmascarado, or masked professional wrestler while Súper Comando worked as anenmascarado until December 25, 2015. Artillero's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[3] Artillero and Super Comando are the brothers of CMLL low card wrestlerBengala, although it is not openly acknowledged by CMLL.[4] The two used amilitary theme, reflected in their ring gear, mask and trunks which is at least partially camouflage.
Gustavo Torres Ramirez, later known under thering name Súper Comando, was born on February 23, 1981[2] and Artillero was born on August 12, 1982,[1] both inMexico City, Mexico, the second and third oldest sons of professional wrestlerPríncipe Odín (Prince Odin). Their older brother is an active wrestlers under the nameBengala and his younger brothers work as Principe Odin, Jr. and Babe Torres.[4] Artillero's full names are not publicly known, which is traditionally the case in Lucha Libre when a wrestler has never been unmasked,[3] but it is known that his last name is Torres Ramirez, revealed when his brother Daniel Torres Ramirez was unmasked. On December 25, 2015 Súper Comando lost his mask and revealed that his real name was Gustavo Torres Ramirez.
Gustavo Torres, the older brother, made his professional wrestling debut in 1998, initially working under thering nameDios Rojo, but quickly adopted thering name Súper Comando. The Súper Comando character was created from Gustavo's desire to go to Military School he came up with the concept that incorporated a military theme in hismask and tights.[5] His younger brother was trained both by their father as well as the trainers as the CMLL wrestling school,Tony Salazar,Hijo del Gladiador andVirus and made his debut in 2005.[1][6] He adopted the name "Artillero" (Spanish for Gunner or Artilleryman) and formed a team with his brother under the nameLos Hombres del Camuflaje ("Men InCamouflage").[1] The team worked as a low-card,rudo (wrestlers who portray "bad guy" characters)tag team.[2][1] In 2006Los Hombres del Camuflaje won the Queretaro State Tag Team Championship, a local title only defended in the state ofQueretaro.[6] The team wrestled on CMLL's 2006Sin Piedad major show where they lost toFlash andSuper Nova whenLos Hombres were disqualified for cheating.[7] Over the years the team developed a long running rivalry with the low-cardtecnico team calledLos Rayos Tapatío. CMLL reactivated the long dormantCMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship, a title for the low to mid level teams in their promotion and held a tournament to establish the first champions.Los Hombres del Camuflaje entered the tournament, but were eliminated in the first round byLos Metales (Metálico andMetalik).[8] The team was part of a limited number of CMLL wrestlers who went on a tour ofSpain in 2008, working three dates there facing various combinations ofAstro Boy,Molotov and Metálico.[6][9] In 2010Los Hombres participated in a tournament, with the winners receiving a chance to challenge for the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship, but this time they were defeated byLos Angeles Celestiales ("The Heavenly Angels";Ángel de Oro andÁngel de Plata).Los Hombres del Camuflaje continues to be an entertaining, low cardrudo act whose primary purpose is to help rookietecnicos gain in ring experience.[3]
In the fall of 2015 Súper Comando became involved in a storyline rivalry withThe Panther, a young maskedtecnico, son ofBlue Panther. Over the course of several months the two often faced off on opposite sides of tag team and six-man matches, often with Súper Comando targeting his younger opponent, tearing his mask to push the storyline that he wanted to teach the rookie a lesson.[10][11] In early December CMLL announced that Súper Comando and The Panther would joint 10 other wrestlers;Blue Panther Jr.,Puma andTiger,Cancerbero,Esfinge,Fuego,Pegasso,Raziel,Sangre Azteca andTritón in the main event of the 2015Infierno en el Ring show.[12] During a press conference featuring all 12 competitors Puma made reference to Súper Comando being an "old man", something the 34-year old Súper Comando objected to, stating that he might have to teach Puma a lesson during the cage match.[13] The week before the cage match all twelve wrestlers faced off in atorneo cibernetico elimination match, which saw The Panther and Súper Comando face off several times and also saw Súper Comando and Puma clash despite being on the same team. Puma was partially responsible for Súper Comando being eliminated from the match.[14] TheInfierno en el Ring match came down to Súper Comando and The Panther being the last two wrestlers in the steel cage, with The Panther forcing Súper Comando to submit. Afterwards Súper Comando was forced to unmask and announce his real name while being consoled by his father and brothers who were at ringside for the match.[15] On January 5, 2016, Súper Comando announced his departure from CMLL.[16]
