Did you know that the original Ultraman was very popular in Latin America in the late 60's early 70's, that at the time there was actually a popular Luchador named directly based on Ultraman, there's even a picture of him standing next to the actual Ultraman!

I had heard about how popular Ultraman was in Latin America but only in passing! So, I had to look it up and WOW, I found not only a picture of the Luchador in question:

But what I assume is the very picture you are referring to!

Oh and here is the Spanish intro for the version of Ultraman aired in Mexico!  

Thank you for the info!  I love this kind of cross-cultural popularity for heroes from Japan!
