Add lucha, noir, dream sequences, and fantastic elements, and you get Sonámbulo, a comic book about of a Mexican wrestler who is beaten by mobsters and left for dead; when, decades later, he awakens, he finds that he can see the dreams of others, but cannot sleep. He leaves wrestling, but keeps his mask as he becomes a private detective.

Ha ha ha. Mascaritas.
Why are "lucha" and "mascaritas" female ("a")?

Right. Luchar. Doi.
Does this meaning extend to the name Lucho? I either subconsciously or inadvertently named a character in my book Lucho. He is a very bad person.

Usually, but not always, 'a' at the end means the word's gender is female.

Lucho is the nickname for Luis. However, i've never heard of a Luisa called Lucha. I have an aunt Lucha, but her name is Luz. As far as strange nicknames go, i'm not sure how Pepe comes out of José (or, analogously, Beppo from Giuseppe).
