It was the middle of the first decade of the 2000s, the time when YouTube began to become popular in Mexico. When he worked on TV, Alejandro looked for young musicians through that medium who uploaded their videos performing covers, to invite them to play with their favorite bands on a program called Motorockstar.

Trajectory and history of Alex Montiel the Golden Scorpion

Seeing that his brother succeeded in an abysmal way on YouTube, he decided to venture into it and with a little help from Werevertumorro, who included him in his videos, he managed to win over his audience and later consolidate himself in the world of technologies and social networks.

“I got involved with my brother, made suggestions, edited and produced, while other kids just turned on the camera and talked randomly: without a theme, without a specific meaning. Until one day I decided to put on the mask” , Alex Montiel commented at the time about how he decided to start his career as a youtuber.

After gaining thousands of followers, Alex Montiel  decided to focus his work on cinema, managing to position himself as one of the most important voices on the web in his two channels. He has interviewed the greatest actors and actresses from Mexico, Latin America and Hollywood.

“The golden scorpion represents everything that people hate. It is ominous. When people tell me that they shit, I say: well cool, because me too. But people took a liking to him, the character grew, as well as the job. What I try to do differently, if such a word fits, is to take advantage of the viral nature of social networks. And with a ball of bullshit and rude talk about issues that matter. Invite people not to accept things as they are” , said Alex Montiel at the time .

At the end of 2020, the second season of ¿Quién es la máscara? a television show where certain show personalities performed songs under some disguise to hide their true personality and appearance; In the second season , Omar Chaparro was the official driver while the team of investigators was made up of Yuri , Consuelo Duval , Carlos Rivera , and Juan Pa Zurita  , who were in charge of investigating who was behind the masked characters. In the second chapter the masked character ” Cerberus ” was presented.” and although after giving several clues, many thought that it was about various personalities when it was finally confirmed that “Cerbero is Alex Montiel Golden Scorpion in Who is the mask?”.

Why is it called The Golden Scorpion?

“About 8 years ago I entered this world. My brother started 10 years ago, he was from the first generation. I have always been very fond of wrestling and he is a dominant symbol, historically this Mexican athlete has an overwhelming personality. The character started out as a hater, a troll. I started behind the mask like trolls do. They are anonymous, nobody knows who they are, nothing seems to them, they cough to say what they have to say”.

“It was really looking for a cliché. They say that to have the name of a fighter or superhero you need to have the name of an animal and a color. It also helps me to smack when they ask me why the color blue. If it is called golden, ‘golden from where?’, they asked me. So I took the opportunity to smack them down. It’s a silly joke but I like it.”
