Me and my guerrillas are a squad of killers!
— Che Guevara

Che Guevara battled Guy Fawkes in Guy Fawkes vs Che Guevara. He was portrayed by Robert Rico.

Information on the rapper

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna was born on June 14th, 1928, in Rosario, Santa Fe province, Argentina. He was a Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous counter-cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.


Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed. He remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films.

Verse 1:

Guevara the terror, fresh Kangol wearer,

Ill rhyme-slayer from the '60s era!

Revolting heavy metal rebel blood-spiller,

Me and my guerrillas are a squad of killers! (Hoo!)

I'm known worldwide for my steely-eyed look.

You're famous 'cause of Alan Moore's third best book!

All the children say, "We will be like Che!"

Asthmatic, but I'll take your breath away. (Gasp!)

You tried to rebel against James the first.

Here's a tip for your next plot: try to rehearse!

I've got my face on a magnet on your roommate's fridge.

Your head is on a spike up on London Bridge!

You had one job, cabrón: to strike a matchstick!

Got caught with a fuse like your bars: not lit!

You should have stayed anonymous, Epic Fail Guy.

Treat this battle like the gallows, and take another dive.

Verse 2:

Sucks? Guy, you died for the Catholics:

A group with a bad "touching little boys" habit!

And this porn star pilgrim look, what's up with that?

It's more like V for very bad hat!

Oh! What's the Fawkes say now?

(Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!) When they cut your junk out!

I'm the hardest Marxist ever graced a banknote!

You're an error-prone terrorist! Penny for the scapegoat!

Scrapped lyrics

I'm known worldwide for my renegade look.

All the people say, "We will be like Che!"

You had one job, Guido: to light a matchstick!

Should have stayed anonymous, Epic Fail Guy.

A group with a bad "touching little boy" habit!

It must be V for very bad hat!

Whoa! What's the Fawkes say now?

  • On April 8th, 2019, the ERB Channel updated its banner to feature a picture of Guevara, along with fellow rappers Theodore Roosevelt and Gandhi, as well as several historical figures who have yet to appear in an ERB: Charlie Chaplin, Hermann Rorschach, and a young Mother Teresa.
