and Mr. Keeper summoned Pancho Villa in Hit Comics #45.|left]]
Francisco "Pancho" Villa born José Doroteo Arango Arámbula was a Mexican revolutionary and general in the Mexican Revolution.

Before that, he had a past as a bandit. For a time, he joined the outlaw gang led by Ignacio Parra, but left after José Solís killed an old man. He then worked at the El Verde mine and as a stonemason in Chihuahua, yet police persecution forced him back to the mountains, where he resumed cattle rustling.

He was a key figure in the revolutionary movement that forced out President Porfirio Díaz and brought Francisco I. Madero to power in 1911.

When Madero was ousted by a coup led by General Victoriano Huerta in February 1913, Villa joined the anti-Huerta forces in the Constitutionalist Army led by Venustiano Carranza. After the defeat and exile of Huerta in July 1914, Villa broke with Carranza. Villa dominated the meeting of revolutionary generals that excluded Carranza and helped create a coalition government.

Emiliano Zapata and Villa became formal allies in this period. Like Zapata, Villa was strongly in favor of land reform, but did not implement it when he had power. At the height of his power and popularity in late 1914 and early 1915, the U.S. considered recognizing Villa as Mexico's legitimate authority.

His portrayal in comics remains quite ambiguous, as he is alternately depicted as a revolutionary, a villain, or a kind of Mexican Robin Hood, a common trope in the Western genre.
