San Rico is a Central American nation which had once been part of the great Mayan Empire.[1]

History

An enchanted amulet imbued with the power of the feathered-serpent god Kukulkán originated in a Mayan city in what is now modern-day San Rico; legends dictate, however, that misuse of the pendant led to divine retribution on the city.

When San Rican treasure hunter El Tigre recovered the pendant in modern times, he attempted to enslave the descendants of the Maya in San Rico in hopes of eventually conquering Central America and the world. However, the X-Men, who picked up the serpent god's power signature with Cerebro and first encountered El Tigre in New York, followed the avatar of Kukulkán back to San Rico and put a stop to him by disrupting the Solar Stone which fueled the god's power.[2]

Culture[]

Though Spanish is seemingly the most commonly spoken language among San Ricans, some of the Indigenous peoples living in the country's wilderness continued to speak Yucatec Mayan (or what was sometimes called Mayathan).[1]
