In these short stories, José occupies his time assuming false identities to impress girls (who usually see through him, leaving him brokenhearted), and wangling free dinners in expensive restaurants, a habit that often gets him into trouble.

He has a secret identity as a superhero, Morcego Verde (Green Bat, a Batman spoof), although he is easily recognized by his neighbors.
