- "Do you know Captain America? I've got his action figure. But I lost the shield, so I made him a new one. All by myself. I just glued a magnet to it, so it looks like the real one. And then I painted it, but Cap's shield is cooler. But this one doesn't have to take down any aliens, so it'll do."
- ―Vido Arocho to Jessica Jones[src]
Estevido "Vido" Arocho is the son of Oscar Arocho and his ex-wife, Sonia. Once he and his father moved to the building where Jessica Jones resided, he tried to bond with her over his admiration of superheroes, and despite her initial reluctance, Jones eventually grew to care for him.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Vido was born to Oscar Arocho and Sonia. Sadly, the two did not get along and eventually broke up. Vido then lived with both parents separately.[2]
New Neighbors[]
Vido moved into an apartment with his father, who became the new supervisor of the complex. While moving in, they met Jessica Jones who was trying to get through the mess of their belongings. Vido witnessed Jones pick upthe refrigerator with little effort and put it down. Amazed, Vido asked if she was a superhero. A few days later, Vido and Oscar were walking down the street when suddenly they saw Jones chasing a man. The scaffolding fell on the man and Oscar covered Vido's eyes so that he would not see the corpse.[1]
Talking with Jones[]
- "Hey, Vido. What's up? What are you doing up this late on a school night?"
"Where's my dad?"
"He's downstairs. But you know what? He told me to keep an eye on you."
"My dad doesn't like you."
"But you do, right? So do you have any cool toys in your room you wanna show me?" - ―Jessica Jones and Vido Arocho[src]
Vido heard a knock on the door, when his dad opened it up. Jessica Jones started yelling and swearing at Oscar. Vido was in awe that she said a swear and Oscar closed the door so Vido could not hear any of it. Later on, Vido opened the door to find Jones. She walked into the apartment and said that Oscar told her to watch him. Vido did not believe that because Oscar hates her. Vido then asked if she knew Captain America before Oscar returned, telling Vido to go to bed.[2]
Visiting Jones[]
- "What do you want, kid?"
"I showed you my room. Can I see yours?"
"I'm busy."
"With superhero stuff? Are you fighting crime? Can you teach me superpowers? I'm strong. Can you push a building over? Are you bulletproof?"
"All right. Cut it out, kid."
"How'd you get your superpowers? Are you an alien? Can you fly?" - ―Jessica Jones and Vido Arocho[src]
Arocho opened the door and walked into Alias Investigations Office, in which he spoke with Jessica Jones. As he walked about the apartment, he began to climb outside an opened window and lost his balance, being rescued by Jones from collapsing. Being pulled back in, Oscar Arocho and Sonia hurried to the boy's aide, warning Oscar of Jones' presence in the building. Later, however, Arocho explained that she had saved him from collapsing out her window.[3] Jones later stopped by to see Oscar. Vido teased his father for being "in love" and then asked Jones to stay for dinner. However, she declined.[4]
Kidnapped[]
- "Sonia took Vido."
"What?"
"She didn't pick up her phone, so I came by her place. Her neighbor said she left with Vido, carrying suitcases." - ―Oscar Arocho and Jessica Jones[src]
Vido witnessed an argument with his mother and father. Sonia claimed that Vido could not see Oscar if he were to see Jessica Jones. Vido tried to explain that Jones was a good person, but Sonia did not listen. Sonia then grabbed Vido's Captain America toy and they left for the bus station. On the way to Montréal, their bus stopped suddenly. Vido was taken out by his mother and found Jones, Oscar, and Alisa Jones. Vido hugged his father and was taken home.[5]
Family Dinner[]
- "Did you save anybody today?"
"Yeah. Actually, yeah, I did."
"What happened? Did you have to hit someone?"
"After dinner, Vido."
"Oh, come on, I wanna hear it now." - ―Vido Arocho, Jessica Jones and Oscar Arocho[src]
Vido was getting ready for dinner when Jessica Jones arrived. Oscar Arocho allowed her in. They then had dinner together. Vido asked if she saved anyone that day. After approval to talk from Oscar, Jones told him about how she stopped a robbery.[6]
Friends with Jones[]
Arocho often went to see Jessica Jones and asked about her recent heroism acts because his mother and father often fought. This particular time, she flew to Mexico, impressing Arocho. Arocho then went down to eat dinner and asked Jones if she wanted to come, but she could not.[7] When Arocho found out that Jones lost her spleen, he made her a new one out of ceramic. Arocho then gave it to her, only to see she was not there, but her employee Gillian was.[8]
Personality[]
- "He's a cool kid. Reckless little shit, but he's cool."
- ―Jessica Jones to Oscar Arocho[src]
Vido Arocho showed himself to be a bright kid, who greatly admired his personal hero Captain America for his heroic actions. Arocho wants to be a superhero, as shown with his conversations with Jessica Jones, as he wants to protect others. Though he can be reckless at times, he doesn't mean to be himself or others at harm. In addition, Arocho was very talkative and would ask Jones questions on how she got her powers, often annoying the detective. He also showed himself to be quite creative, as he created a new shield for his toy of Captain America by using a magnet.
