>Having an Aztec themed fantasy show would be cool where the twisted culture of blood sacrifice is just normal everyday stuff for the heroes and the villagers fighting jungle demons and gods of hell.

That actually would be really cool. It'd be especially fitting if it took most of it's inspiration from the Maya since they were really into auto-sacrificial rites (pic rel, Mural of a Mayan Pre-classical king piercing his penis as part of said rights, from San Bartolo). This stuff was very important for political legitimacy, as it was closely associated with kingship and supernatural powers, so a super-hero utilizing them makes a lot of sense.
