Super Nova grew up watching his father,
El Texano, wrestle in Mexico, the United States, and Japan and later also saw his brother
El Texano, Jr. turn professional in 1999. After training under his father as well as Vaquero and
El Satánico for more than a year he made his debut in October 2002 as the
enmascarado character "Spider Boy" (with an outfit that looked a lot like the
Spider-Man character). He worked as "Spider Kid" from 2002 until 2006, then briefly as "Spider Boy" before changing his name and outfit to "Super Nova", the ring persona he's best known as today, as he began working for
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) full-time. Later in 2007 Super Nova participated in that year's
Gran Alternativa tag team tournament. Super Nova teamed with the veteran
Heavy Metal, losing to eventual winners
Místico and
La Sombra in the first round of the tournament. In 2008 Super Nova began touring Europe, especially Italy, with Nu-Wrestling Evolution (NWE) while also wrestling for CMLL in Mexico. On April 19, 2008, he participated in a match to crown the inaugural NWE Cruiserweight Champion, losing to
Juventud Guerrera in a match that also included
Matt Cross and
Pac. The following day Super Nova defeated Pac. When Super Nova's brother, El Texano, Jr., jumped from CMLL to
Perros del Mal Producciones in November 2011, both of the brothers joined
Los Perros del Mal at an
International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) event on December 8. However, this partnership was soon forgotten as El Texano, Jr. went on to form a new stable named
El Consejo. On March 10, El Texano, Jr. helped Super Nova retain the Perros del Mal Light Heavyweight Championship against
Daga and afterward invited him to join
El Consejo. Super Nova, however, refused the offer, saying he did not need anyone's help. On March 13, Super Nova,
Bestia 666,
Damián 666,
Halloween and
X-Fly announced they had quit
Perros del Mal Producciones and were forming their own group of independent wrestlers, named
La Familia de Tijuana. In quitting the
Perros del Mal Producciones, Super Nova also vacated the Perros del Mal Light Heavyweight Championship. On December 14, 2009, Super Nova worked a "try out" match for
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) alongside
Incognito. Both of them worked without their masks on, with Super Nova being billed as Julio Cruz. Super Nova wrestled the entire match on his own, never tagging in his partner. Shortly after the match it was announced that Incognito had signed a developmental deal with WWE following his try out match. In January 2010, it was reported that Super Nova had been signed to a WWE developmental contract as well and would start in WWE's
Farm League Florida Championship Wrestling as soon as he fulfilled his previous contractual obligations but he never actually worked for the WWE and no explanation was given. In 2011, Super Nova began working for the
Lucha Libre USA promotion as a member of The Latin Liberators with
Magno and
Rocky Romero. On August 23, 2015 Golden Magic lost the IWRG Junior de Junior Championship to
Golden Magic, followed by a challenge for Super Nova and Golden Magic to put their masks on the line at a future date. In 2016, Super Nova began working for
Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) under a mask as "Bengala", a character previously portrayed by
Ricky Marvin. On July 8, 2019, Nova announced his departure from the company after three years with AAA to continue with the character of "Super Nova" on the independent circuit. ==Personal life==
