Santo The Silver Mask
vs
The Martian Invasion

With the advance of science
come new mysteries

Is our planet the only one
inhabited by rational beings like us?

If so, will we conquer those other worlds?

Or, on the contrary, will
their inhabitants come to rule us?

From now on we will speak in Spanish,

For it is the language used
in the country we are traveling to

The country the Earthlings call Mexico.

We are approaching their planet.

The time has come
to transmit our message to the Earthlings.

I need to hear your voice,
no matter what you say...

... tell me in a verse, my love, good night...

What's happening?

Don't be frightened, it's a new program.

What you are watching on your screen
is not a fantasy. It is real.

How interesting!

We are not just actors
performing in a scary movie.

Yeah, right!

This is our actual appearance.
We are from the planet you call Mars.

We have lost all control of the transmission!

Using scientific advancements surpassing
yours by more than five Earth centuries,

we have intercepted transmissions
from all across your planet.

The radar you are so proud of
was powerless in detecting our arrival.

Instead of using your scientific
advancements to better humanity,

you Earthlings use them
for your own destruction.

When you wage war
with your conventional weapons

you are the only victims
of your ambition and selfishness.

But with the discovery of nuclear energy,

and your mad experiments
with the atomic bomb,

you are on the verge of destroying
the entire planetary system.

Before this happens, we warn you
that we are prepared

to disintegrate all the inhabitants of Earth.

Knowing the skeptical attitudes
of the Earthlings,

we understand that you may doubt the
message and not take our warning seriously.

Beginning now, we will be forced
to use the country called Mexico

to show our determination and power.

We have weapons one hundred times
more powerful than yours.

Here are our demands.

All governments on Earth
shall accept total disarmament,

eliminate all borders, and unify your
language, and establish a global government

that does not discriminate by race or creed,

foster Earthly brotherhood,
and give up war forever

If not, it will be necessary
for us to annihilate you

Our electronic interstellar brain indicates the
Earthlings do not take our warning seriously.

They are convinced that our appearance
on their screen was just a comedy skit.

We will land in a wooded region

When we do, you will leave
the spaceship and find a public place.

Let the Earthlings see you,
then disintegrate them with your Astral Eye.

This is the only way
they will take our orders seriously.

The atmosphere on Earth can be deadly

but these capsules
will help us avoid suffocation

And the Martians, who claim to come
from a world much more civilized than ours

and whose scientific advancements
surpass the Earth's by more than 500 years

nonetheless commit the same
fatal error of which they accuse us

attempting to impose peace
and brotherhood through fear and force,

forgetting that violence
only promotes destruction and hate.

Now boys, everyone grab a partner

and wrestle with each other,
without hurting anyone

Let's see how it goes.

Luis!

How many times have I
told you, not to cause deliberate harm?

Your skill should only
be used to counter aggression, or...

Or to defend the weak and defenseless,
isn't that right, Santo?

Exactly!
You have learned the lesson well, Luisito.

Come on, go back to
wrestling like good sports.

Get the children out of here immediately!

Yes, let's go!

Mission accomplished.
Terror has gripped the Earthlings.

However the one who dresses strangely
and covers his face with a silver mask

was about to delay our plans.

I could not disintegrate him

It would have been
a mistake to disintegrate him

He is a man
of extraordinary strength and skill

He is the kind of terrestrial specimen
that we must take back to our planet

I will personally be in charge of
capturing the Masked One

and bringing him back to the ship.

Extra! Extra! Mysterious disappearance
at the sporting field...

... Extra! Extra!
Thousands of people disappear...

... Extra! Extra!
Catastrophe on the sporting field... Extra!

All of the papers read
exactly as you have told me, Santo.

What could that
supernatural being have been,

what cruel monster
would vaporize even innocent children?

I have several theories,
but they all sound pretty wild.

Can we rule out the possibility
that this is some war-mongering power

trying to dominate us?
I don't believe that's the situation.

With the description you gave me
of that incredible being

I am sure that
it comes from another planet.

I have come to
the same conclusion, Professor.

Did you lock all of the doors?

Yes, dear, there's nothing to worry about.

It's him! The monster that was
at the sporting field.

Listen, Earthlings, you doubted the
reality of our existence.

If it weren't for Santo the Silver Mask
we would have all have been disintegrated.

We have shown you proof of our power.

You must understand that no scientific
or military power on Earth can defeat us

We can destroy all of the Earth's inhabitants

just we easily as we
vaporized the people on the sporting field.

Something makes me think
that the lost continent of Atlantis

was inhabited by a race
that also had the Astral Eye.

Professor, are you saying that other planets
may be inhabited by such creatures?

Professor Ordorica here. Who is calling?

Santo!

The University called. The Martians
are transmitting another message on TV.

We chose Mexico because
it is a country dedicated to pacifism,

committed to disarming its territory.

We hope that its voice
will be heard by other nations.

From this moment on
we will begin to implement our plan.

Resistance is futile.

This is the last warning
we will give to the Earthlings.

We now return control
of your television set to you...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
as incredible as it seems,

what you have just
seen and heard is terribly real.

You are naive, and you do not
understand the significance of my words.

You, Silver Mask, you witnessed
what happened at the sporting field.

You are murderers!

An intellect as powerful as yours,
Professor Ordorica,

and a man with strength
and integrity like you, Silver Mask,

will be the seed of a new humanity,
more scientifically and morally advanced.

You speak of morals,
yet you came to our planet

to kill defenseless people
and innocent children.

It was necessary to do so, because only
by force will Earthlings learn to live in peace.

The means you are using to pacify us
make you no better than criminals!

The crime would have been
to let you unleash a nuclear war

that would not only destroy you,

but also destroy other planets
like ours where life exists.

You are not the masters of the universe!

Caution, Silver Mask.
I do not want to harm you.

You two will come
with me to our spaceship.

All you need to do is take my hand.

Surrender, Silver Mask,
or I will break your arm.

I have momentarily paralyzed him, Professor.

You only have to touch my hand

the dial on my belt will transport us to the spaces

Let's go, Professor. Do not resist me.

How strange...

it was obvious that he was suffocating,

but when he took one of these capsules,
he recovered immediately.

I will examine them carefully.

Mother! Father!

What's going on? Son!

Do not be afraid, we will not harm you.

Our Martian appearance frightens
the Earthlings and delays our plans.

Why do we frighten them, when our bodies
are more perfectly evolved than their own?

It is all in the mind...

We must change our appearance.
We will use the transformation chamber.

We have altered our Martian appearance,
and from now on we will communicate

using names
taken from the Earthlings' mythology.

As captain of the ship,
I will be known to you as Argos.

You are a scholar excelling in studies of time
and space and you will be named Kronos.

With your hypnotic powers,
you will be called Morpheo.

You are a Martian with unusual physical
strength, so you will be called Hercules.

Hercules is the only one among us
whose strength will match the Silver Mask.

And you shall be called Aphrodite,

for you will use your beauty
to win over those whose services we need.

You who has the serene beauty
of the moon shall be Selena.

You shall be Artemisa,

and you shall be Diana.

Do not forget, now that we have
taken these undesirable human forms

to achieve our plan,
that our Astral Eye will no longer work

to vaporize or paralyze the Earthlings.

We will depend exclusively on our belts to
protect us and to defeat the Earthlings.

Will they work to make us invisible?

No, they will not.

When we enter into battle
we must act quickly.

Our human appearance
will be brief, and to gain our old bodies back

we must again
enter the transformation chamber.

If the Silver Mask uses his strength
to resist us, should we destroy him?

With the plan I have in mind,
his strength will be useless

and we can capture him alive.

He and Professor Ordorica are

magnificent specimens, and we must
take them back to our planet at any cost.

What do the capsules contain, Professor?

They contain chemical substances
that oxygenate their lungs.

Apparently our atmosphere
asphyxiates them.

In other words,
without those capsules they would die?

Uh-huh.

Look Santo, this species uses the
Astral Eye to hypnotize their enemies...

or disintegrate them.

But how can we stop them?

How can I get to their spaceship when
our instruments cannot detect its presence?

How can we prevent them
from following through with their threat?

There are only two possibilities.

One of them is nearly impossible.
The other is this apparatus I invented.

It detects brain waves, and I can adjust
it to the mental vibrations of the Martians.

Because of their extraordinary intelligence,

they emit ultra high frequency vibrations
in moments of great emotion or tension.

This device will identify these vibrations.

For example, when they set out to do harm,
their vibrations will increase in intensity.

This apparatus can indicate
where the vibrations come from?

Exactly.

When will this be ready to use, Professor?

You can have it tomorrow.

And what about the other possibility --
of locating their spaceship and getting to it?

We'd have to seize one of the Martian's belts.

I have observed that they are able
to travel wherever they want to go

simply by turning the dial on their belt.

I will see you tomorrow, Professor.

I am off to train, for now more than ever
I must be prepared for any attack.

Let's go, Professor.
There is no use trying to resist us.

Be reasonable.

You must have physical contact with us
in order to be transported to our spaceship.

Professor,
there is no danger in doing so.

Caution Kronos!
Fire suppresses the oxygen.

Wrestling Club

Thanks guys,
it has been a very good training session.

It's useful for us,
since we learn so much from you!

Until next time, Santo,
and thank you very much.

Good night.

Okay, take care.

Santo!

Your end has come.

He is going to beat them.
We must hypnotize him!

No, remember the instructions from Argos.

What happened?

What happened, Santo?

That's what I want to know.

I just remember that
two beautiful women came up to us...

and then, nothing.

Oh, how my head hurts.

I saw those Martians on TV and I can't sleep.

They say that
very serious things are happening

but they keep them
secret to avoid alarming the public.

I told my husband we should leave...

Tell me doctor,
what is the reason for your urgent call?

Yesterday we had a meeting
with other men of science

and we came to the conclusion

that we are being invaded by Martians.

However, we all agreed
to keep it a secret to avoid panic.

But we are at great risk!

Would you rather see
all activity in the city come to a halt?

We would cause anarchy
and chaos if we told the public.

I see.

Then what can we do?

We must use every form
of communication to reach the public

and convince them that the situation
is make believe, and not real at all.

In that case,
we must start by convincing our wives.

Who are they?

I don't know them.

Your science fiction novel
has truly been a success.

I understand that you
are going to release a sequel?

The third -- but I plan to postpone it.

But why?

Because the make-believe
Martian invasion I talk about in my book

is no longer a fantasy.
It is a frightening reality.

Well, as for me, I'm like Saint Thomas,
I won't believe it until I see it.

Look!

Wow, what luck you have!

Careful, he'll blow up the ship!

I can't believe it.

We can't believe what's happening, either.
But we can be sure they will take us to Mars.

We must do something.

There's no use.
We can do nothing against them.

I'm hungry, and thirsty.

This is an outrage.

This is concentrated food.

It is much more powerful than your vitamins.
It will nourish you and quench your thirst.

Two pills for each adult and one for
each child every 24 hours.

You have done an excellent job
using your Earthly enchantments.

I congratulate you, though I truly don't know
what Earthlings see in such an appearance.

We don't either.

This look is repugnant.

We need more children, and another
group of adults with special qualities.

But most of all we need
Professor Ordorica and the Silver Mask.

Once we have them in our hands
we will return to our planet.

The Silver Mask shows more resistance
each time. He is endangering our lives.

What is the purpose of kidnapping him
when we can take other Earthlings?

The more he resists, the more I understand
that Silver Mask is extremely talented.

Once we get back to Mars
we will kill him so that our scientists

can study his brain,
his muscles, and his lungs.

For what purpose?

Santo possesses a strength we lack.

We need to scientifically reproduce
his physical characteristics

in our own space soldiers
when the time comes to invade Earth.

We must once again to remind the public
of the need to remain calm,

especially after the Martians
return to their own planet.

All citizens must resume
their normal activities.

An intense information campaign
was launched

using all means of communication
to help calm the public.

The inhabitants of the city began to enjoy
their favorite pastimes again.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Two falls of three,
no time limit. Mask vs. Mask!

In this corner, the mask of Black Eagle!

And in this corner,
the undefeated Silver Mask!

After Hercules dominates him, he will
transport him back to our spaceship.

Why doesn't Santo rip off his mask,
instead of trying to take his belt?

I don't understand it, either.

They will accuse you of fraud.
You've already lost.

He is not a human being, he is a Martian!

For a moment I was a victim of your spell,

but I know who you are
and what you intend to do.

Will you come with us?

If you don't we can destroy you.

But what happens if, before you do,
I am able to rip off your belts?

It functions perfectly Santo.
All you need to do is tune in like this.

It is the mental vibrations of the Martians.
They must be planning another attempt.

30 degrees to the north...

Roughly 10 kilometers from here.

How can I find the place exactly?

The second needle
will signal the place where they are.

We must explain our purpose to you.
As a man of moral and religious conviction,

Barely you can understand that our intentions are noble

Many are the errors and sins of humankind,

but for you to manipulate our conscience
does not seem noble to me.

Pretending to our humanity by destroying
it is hardly proof of a superior race.

We are not here to argue with you.
Come with us voluntarily.

I know you are in danger, Father.
Don't get near them!

This is our best opportunity
to capture him. Do not fail.

Not here, this is the house of God.

If Santo will not enter this house,
then we will all leave.

I'll do as you say,
but order them to stop fighting.

We all have a mission in life.

Yours in on our spaceship.
Theirs will soon be decided.

Save us Father, we are so afraid.

Please, for the sake of the children.

We can do nothing.
The Lord is the only one who can save us.

Let us pray.

Leave the prayers, Father, this is no time for
miracles. Don't you see what's happening?

Our Father, who art in Heaven...

... give us this day our daily bread...

Pilot, it is time to feed the prisoners.

In our effort to capture the Silver Mask
we have already extended our stay on Earth.

We cannot return to our planet without
Professor Ordorica or the Silver Mask.

When the pilot comes in
with our food we must attack him.

Some of you hold him down while
the rest go outside to attack the others.

If we fail, we must disable the spaceship.

Anything is better than having them
take us to Mars. Let's go!

Be careful with the control.
The spaceship will explode!

We cannot fight them.
We are most certainly doomed.

Since Professor Ordorica
attacked you with the fire,

you have not made another
attempt to capture him.

This time you will not fail.

Let's see where he is.

Come in.

To what do I owe the honor of your visit?

Did you forget already, Professor?
We came to remind you

that tonight is the ceremony
we have organized in your honor.

I greatly appreciate your efforts,
but you must cancel it.

Did you forget that we
are being invaded by Martians

threatening to destroy the human race?

That is precisely why
we must go on with it, Professor Ordorica.

For several weeks
we have talked about this ceremony.

If we cancel it, people will say it is due to
the Martian invasion, and it will cause alarm.

I don't think you are
aware of the danger we are in!

We are just as aware of this

as you are, Professor, but we
have decided it must be kept secret.

Otherwise the panic will cause as great
a disaster as the Martians themselves.

Can you imagine what will happen if doctors
abandon hospitals, workers leave their jobs,

and the cities are left without
transportation, food, or communication?

Your public presence,
and ours, covered by

the newspaper, radio and TV
will help to calm the public spirit.

You have convinced me.

We have chosen the Club Tropical and the
event is at 10PM. Do not forget it, colleague.

The moment has come
for you to return to action.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the pleasure
of presenting to you the Tropical Ballet.

That is not the Tropical Ballet.
What's happening?

I don't know, boss. I thought
you had hired another group of artists.

Let's go to the dressing room.

What would you like, boss?

Another Martian! Help!

To avoid general panic,
the many kidnappings that occurred

throughout the city were kept secret.

It is evident that this is all the work of the
Martians as they make good on their threats.

This very night, in front of scholars
whose testimony is beyond reproach,

the famous nuclear physicist
Professor Ordorica was kidnapped.

Father Fuentes, priest
and philanthropist, was also kidnapped.

We are recommending that
no one venture out of the house after 7PM.

Since that moment, Mexico's inhabitants
did not dare leave their homes at night.

I do not want to go where they
are taking us. Let's go home, Mommy.

The only one that can save us is
Santo, the Silver Mask.

We cannot wait any longer.
We have oxygen pills only for tonight.

It is urgent that we capture the Silver Mask
and return to our planet.

If we cannot capture him,
we shall destroy him.

Announce that you'll be fighting tonight?
Put it in the paper, on the radio and TV?

Santo, you know the people are terrorized
and no one will show up at the arena?

I know the public will not attend, but the
announcement will have its effect.

You know that this will cost me a fortune...

I will pay.

Very well. What do you plan to do?

Trap one of the Martians.

Santo, I know you are
the best wrestler in the world,

but after what I saw
the other night in the arena,

I'm afraid those people, or whatever
they are, will be too much for you to handle.

I don't want to offend you,
but I won't be there.

The Silver Mask!

I don't know why I accepted,
but anyway, let's get out of here.

We have to honor our deal.
They are paying us better than ever.

Even though the truth is
I'd rather be home with my wife and kids.

Every time you fight
the arena is full, and look at it now.

Wouldn't it be better to cancel the fight?

Let's cancel the fight, Santo.
What's the point?

I'm sorry, we're going to fight
as if the arena were full of spectators.

Surrender yourself, Silver Mask,
you have no hope.

I will fight until death.

Careful Santo,
I will vaporize you if you do not surrender.

Hercules!

Capture him! Capture him!

Let's go!

Prepare the controls and take off!
We must depart immediately!

In a few seconds we'll be asphyxiated.

Out of the way! Move to the side!

Let's go! Get out quickly.

Be careful, Santo.
They'll blow up the spaceship!

Where are you going?

I must go back and make sure
the Martian spaceship is destroyed.

No, Santo, let our scientists research it
and discover the secrets of Mars.

Our science will advance 500 years.

That is exactly what I want to avoid.

Please Santo!

Professor, humanity is not prepared
for such progress, and you know it.

But you will die in the explosion.

Santo!

The human race has been saved,
for the moment.

Will we learn our lesson?

Or will we insist on carrying on
crazy nuclear experiments

until we disappear
from the face of the Earth?
