Later Rafael brought Chico's corpse to Cottonmouth, who has Joel Spurlock dispose of Chico's corpse. Later Rafael gives Cottonmouth the information about Luke which causes Cottonmouth to attack Luke.[6]

Personality

"There's nothing in Chico's jacket to suggest he was capable of that type of violence. I don't think he has the stomach for it."
"Stomach?"
"There was vomit found at the junkyard. Inside it were fibers consistent with that of a winter mask. One of the robbers didn't have the heart to go through with it. My guess, it was baby face Chico."
Misty Knight and Rafael Scarfe[src]

Chico was a man that seemed to prefer negotiation over violence and seems to be disgusted by violence when he, Shameek and Dante shoot up the place Chico ends up throwing up because he didn't have the stomach. He also has a hatred for his dad because his father left Chico and his mother when Chico was 9.

Abilities

"There was this little Puerto Rican kid, I can't remember his name. It's like, um, Rico.... or, uh, Chico. Yeah, Chico. He used to shape me up back in the day. He was real good, too."
Shades to Luke Cage[src]

Equipment

Weapons

  • Handgun: Chico Diaz wielded the handgun during an ambush at a junkyard together with Shameek Smith and Dante Chapman in order to hijack a weapons sale between Domingo Colon and Cornell Stokes, in order to seize the money. As one of the gang members tried to reach for his gun, Smith and Chapman started to shoot at Stokes' and Colon's men, killing them all, though Diaz did not shot. Diaz then pulled the gun on Luke Cage when he found him, thinking he wanted his money until he was convinced that Cage acted on Pop's behalf to help him.
