Under the Mask
Mauricio follows Carlos to the building where Dearing is interrogating Fiona and waits outside. When Carlos is discovered and runs away, Mauricio grabs him and extends his ability, turning them both into smoke that their pursuers then run through. Mauricio and Carlos then reform behind a large crate, and Carlos angrily tells Mauricio to never do that to him again. Mauricio berates Carlos for following a path of vengeance, but Carlos's mind is set. Mauricio reminds Carlos that he's just trying to help him, but Carlos tells him to find another soul to save. Later, when Fiona and the other evo fugitives hide away in a building, Fiona tells the others that she has called Mauricio to help them escape.
The Needs of the Many
Mauricio enters the basement of Gutierrez and Sons and finds Carlos wearing a new and improved version of the El Vengador costume. After Carlos demonstrates its strength by punching through a punching bag, Mauricio tells him that he will be impressed if Carlos finds a man fit to wear the costume first. When Mauricio asks him why he's wearing the suit, Carlos replies that it is because he wants to believe in something bigger than himself. Mauricio warns Carlos that Captain Dearing will be onto them soon. Later, when Mauricio returns to Guttierez and Sons in his car, he is approached by Jose, who tells him that he has discovered his father's secret basement. Jose then shows Mauricio the secret he was afraid to share with his father; his power of phasing. The two are joined by Dearing, who gloats that he has found them. Mauricio tells Jose to run, and begins to turn into smoke, but his transformation is interrupted when Dearing tases him.
Evolved Human Abilities
Father Mauricio has the ability to turn his entire body into a gas resembling smoke. He has demonstrated the ability to move his body through boundaries such as a grille in a confessional of St. Mary's Church. Father Mauricio has also shown that he can extend his ability and turn another person into smoke. However, it appears that Father Mauricio's use of this ability can be disabled, at least temporarily, by exposure to electricity, like when he was tasered in the middle of transforming into smoke and was subsequently forced back into his solid human form.
