Tezcatlipoca, the Shadow God, is the Aztec god of darkness and a powerful enemy of Wonder Woman and the legacy hero called Aztek.

Over endless time the multiverse would die and be reborn, each time this cycle occurred Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl would switch roles with each other, one being the creator while the other would be the destroyer.[1]

In the current timeline Tezcatlipoca played the role of the destroyer and the Shadow God, when he would strike down Quetzalcoatl winning this time, however Quetzalcoatl left a portion of his power in the form of a helmet to the mortals.[1] This helmet would be donned by a mortal who would attempt to battle the Shadow God until they died, upon death the helmet would seek out a new wearer to be crowned Quetzalcoatl's champion Aztek. In the modern day the helmet was passed down to Nayeli Constant after Tezcatlipoca killed the previous wielder Uno.[2]

Weapons

  • Macuahuitl: A Macuahuitl was a melee weapon commonly used by Aztec warriors around the time of the Spanish Conquests. It consisted of a wooden club with small obsidian blades embedded in its sides. Tezcatlipoca uses a far bigger version then the Aztecs did due to his large size.[1]
