- "Is your name Wilfredo Diaz? 'Cause he walked out on me and moms when I was nine. I ain't need a daddy then and I don't need one now."
- ―Chico Diaz to Luke Cage[src]
Wilfredo "Chico" Diaz Jr. was a young man from Harlem who had worked inside Pop's Barber Shop. Seeking to better himself, Diaz made a plan with some friends of rob Cottonmouth of his supply of the new Hammer Industries guns. The plan went wrong however and Diaz soon found himself to be the only survivor and a target of Cottonmouth, leading to Luke Cage coming to his aid for Pop's benefit. Although Diaz tried to hand himself in and make peace, Pop was murdered by Tone, and Diaz then tried to tell his story to Detective Rafael Scarfe, who then assassinated him.

Personality
- "There's nothing in Chico's jacket to suggest he was capable of that type of violence. I don't think he has the stomach for it."
"Stomach?"
"There was vomit found at the junkyard. Inside it were fibers consistent with that of a winter mask. One of the robbers didn't have the heart to go through with it. My guess, it was baby face Chico." - ―Misty Knight and Rafael Scarfe[src]
