Official Description[]
Meet Douglas, AKA El Fuego[]
"Douglas once dreamed of becoming a stuntman, a race driver, a wrestler, a pilot and many other things. After many failed attempts (and broken limbs) he ended up as the groundskeeper of Newbury Middle and High School. Now his mechanical skills and fearless approach to danger make him a valuable asset to the team and their efforts to rid Newbury of its hauntings."
Reborn to be Wild![]
"El Fuego’s story is rad (but also complicated). School groundskeeper turned stuntman, turned ghost-hunter, turned dead, turned undead! Now it’s time to stand back and watch this crazy undead stuntman take his ghost-catching game to all-new levels. Ever since, umm, dying, El Fuego’s life has never been more rad!"
Heroes of the Hidden Side[]
"For most people, getting pulled into the Hidden Side isn’t exactly good news. But Douglas Elton isn’t like most people. He is the school groundskeeper by day, reckless stuntman by night – or he was, until he sacrificed himself to keep the vile Lady E. from entering Newbury. Now he’s come back as a ghost, inhabiting a plastic skeleton from the science classroom, and putting his awesome stunt skills to good use hunting ghosts with no bodily damage. Wohoo! When life turns you into a ghost… make ghost lemonade."
Meet Douglas Elton (deceased) – El Fuego[]
"Contrary to what Jack’s viewers believe, El Fuego, aka Douglas, is NOT an animation. He’s the muscle of the team. Well, strictly speaking, he doesn’t have any muscles, or a body, for that matter. The former school groundskeeper/stuntman/ghost hunter was sucked into the Hidden Side when he defeated Lady E. His spirit latched onto a skeleton in the science classroom, so now he can pull off even wilder stunts during hunts. He can just pull himself together if/when he blows up, falls apart or/and sustains otherworldly damage."
Appearance[]
Douglas wears green coveralls with an oil stain on the right side, his name tag on the left, and knee pads. He wears the overalls over a red shirt with a yellow and red target sign on it. He also has a band-aid on his left cheek. When donning his El Fuego personality, he simply adds a red helmet and cape. As a skeleton, he wears only his helmet and cape, but retains his bandaid.
