==Summary==
Miguel Diaz is one of the main characters of the Cobra Kai television series; initially he was a outcast in his school until Johnny Lawrence took him as a student for Cobra Kai. With this training, he became a powerful fighter for his age; where he'd go onto fighting in the All-Valley. He'd make his way into the karate war because of this as the love interest of Sam Larusso but also formerly Tory Nichols.
From an incident in Season 2 causing a near-death incident, he has to recover from with his sensei Johnny Lawrence. Miguel moving forward has since recovered from his back injury and regained his footing as one of the most skilled martial artists of the teen roster.

Origin: Cobra Kai
Gender: Male
Age: Around 17 (Born November 2001, with Cobra Kai starring in June of 2019)
Classification: Human, Martial Artist, 2018 All-Valley Karate Tournament Champion
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts (Miguel is one of the most skilled karate fighters of the teenage generation in Cobra Kai), Accelerated Development (Miguel quickly picked up as a natural in martial arts, and in a short amount of time was able to beat his way through the regional championship competition compared to other martial artists that had years of training)
Attack Potency: Street level (Briefly challenged Post-Timeskip Chozen with the help of Samantha. Briefly sparred with Post-Timeskip Johnny though was quickly overwhelmed. Cobra Kai Season 4, Episode 1: Let's Begin Beat Pre-Karate training Kyler and his associates who can press Post-Timeskip Johnny and present a threat to the latter. Later prevaileing against Kyler who had received karate training, despite having a back injury. Kyler can break the central portion of five concrete slabs at once. Johnny, Daniel, and Chozen state him, Robby, and Eli as the best fighters of Miyagi-Do and Eagle-Fang to the point where he regards a fight between them all could go either way by Season 5.Cobra Kai Season 5, Episode 8: Taikai Which should make him superior to Chris who can destroy the central portions of five concrete slabs. Daniel and Johnny once again agree that in terms of skills the Top 5 of their dojo by Season 6 is Sam, Robby, Miguel, Eli, and Tory.Cobra Kai Season 6, Episode 4: Underdogs Should be comparable to Pre-Timeskip Johnny and Daniel as Silver tells Kenny that the best male fighters in the valley are Miguel, Robby and Eli.Cobra Kai Season 5, Episode 8: Taikai With the second occasion, he once again tells Kenny that he's on his way to becoming one of the finest and regards a youthful Johnny, Daniel, Miguel and Robby as those fighters "in the sun" that Silver states Kenny is going for "finest."Cobra Kai Season 5, Episode 8: Taikai Fought with Robby five different times across the series, and fairly bested him on two occasions, although has lost in one quarrel.Cobra Kai Season 1, Episode 10: MercyCobra Kai Season 2, Episode 10: No MercyCobra Kai Season 4, Episode 8: Party TimeCobra Kai Season 5, Episode 5: Extreme MeasuresCobra Kai Season 6, Episode 5: Best of the Best Bested Eli Moskowitz when Miguel was enraged. Both Eli and Robby can briefly fight Post-Timeskip Chozen. Overwhelmed Kenny after fighting for a short amount of time, twice. Kreese regarded him as the most powerful student in the Cobra Kai dojo as of Season 2 as he directs to his leaving as "needing a new champion." This would make him more robust than Tory and Hawk at the time, with Miguel besting the latter in sparring) 
Speed: Athletic Human running speed, Peak Human combat speed, attack speed, and reactions (Briefly kept up with Post-Timeskip Chozen and was able to keep up with Eli who can block attacks from Chozen. Kept up with Robby, who could land a blow on Post-Timeskips Johnny, dodge attacks from Terry Silver and Chozen. Briefly kept up with Post-Timeskip Johnny in sparring. Outpaced Kyler and his associates, who before karate training were able to tag Post-Timeskip Johnny. Retained pace with Kenny, who was able to land a blow on a moderately off-guard Sensei Odell, who can keep up with the same Johnny. Deflected and reacted to a pitchball machine at close proximity)
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (He, Aisha, Hawk, Chris, and Bert could push around a giant cement mixer around to fast speeds overtime once they learned to be in sync.Cobra Kai Season 2, Episode 2: Back in Black Could divert Post Timeskip Johnny's movement in a brief skirmish. Johnny could grapple with a professional MMA Fighter. Comparable to Kyler whose chokehold Post-Timeskip Johnny was incapable of breaking)
Striking Strength: Street level (Harmed and incapacitated Eli in one of their fights. Able to stagger Robby with his blows. Both of whom can take blows from Post-Timeskip Chozen. Managed to briefly incapacitate a fairly off-guard Kenny, who can take strikes from Sensei Odell. Sensei Odell being to contribute alongside other sensei's to fatally bloody Post-timeskip Johnny) 
Durability: Street level (Shrugged off a blow from Post-Timeskip Chozen armed with a bo staff; while being off-guard. Can withstand blows from Eli and Robby on numerous occasions. Eli and Robby together with a combined kick overpowered a block from Post-Timeskip Chozen. Which should make their combined blow superior to regular blows thrown by Post-Timeskips Daniel and Terry Silver whose individual blows leave no effect on Chozen's defensive blocks. Took a beating from Kyler, even when held back by his back injury. Kyler later broke the middle portion of five stone slabs at once and hurt Post-Timeskip Johnny. Capable of blocking blows from Post-Timeskip Daniel in Wax On, Wax Off technique, though it's unknown how serious Daniel was) 
Stamina: At least Athletic (Fought in extended fights frequently, including street fights with individuals on his level while trading blows consistently. After training intensely with Johnny and working out daily as a martial artist, he should easily be here. However, Miguel glosses in Season 3, where he can persist and push through the pain considered impossible to him despite only being weeks after a life-threatening hospital fall that majorly injured in the aftermath. Even exercising when he was still healing from an injury to his back. Despite his intense back surgery that held him back, he could take thrashings from a karate-trained Kyler for minutes while exhibiting illustrated blood all over his face; staying on his feet the entire time. Even further after gaining motivation, he was able to fight effectively and perform acrobatics afterwards) 
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Average 
<tabber>
|-|General=Shows no signs of below-average intelligence in the show; however, he also shows no indications of more elevated intelligence. Repeatedly shows signs of common sense, resolutions to problems, and computing things an ordinary person would. Miguel is necessarily gifted in martial arts and is shown when he was the quickest to adapt to Daniel's way of martial arts, developing his skills in a short amount of time. Made an effective speech to the All-Valley despite their strong tolerance against the recent incidents to make karate look bad. A high schooler should realistically be on this level 
|-|Combat=Miguel is portrayed as one of the most skilled fighters of the younger generation in Cobra Kai era. He shows great expertise in developing major skills in a short amount of time, such as besting five high schoolers at once who caused trouble to Post-Timeskip Johnny. This includes the All-Valley where those with years of training and the previous champ were promptly bested by those like Miguel. Is evenly matched in skill with those like Robby who singlehandedly beat eight Cobra Kai students simultaneously including Kyler without being hit once. Comparable to those like Samantha LaRusso who are worthy enough fighters to be recognized as skillful enough for the world wide stage in terms of skill. During the protect your flag fight in Miyagi Do, he, Sam, Robby, and Tory were able to collect more flags than anybody else by far which was done by either sneaking up or fighting in a 12 way brawl. Which included those like Eli and Kenny

Standard Tactics: Miguel prefers quick fights to take out his opponents but will postpone them to extended fights if their opponent is powerful. Training mostly with an offensive style though as of Season 4 with a combination of Miyagi-Do's defense to accompany his style. Miyagi utilizes combos, timing, movement, and practical techniques to wash off opponents untroubled. When combating foes on a defensive maneuver, Miguel prefers an offensive approach to use his style to overwhelm his opponent to the point they can't keep up. When compared with more flashy fighters he prefers waiting out their attacks and pinpoint a mistake in their style to strike and counter in quick succession.
Weaknesses: Human limitations. Miguel lets his guard down due to his heart and attitude. His guard being down is seen in spars with Tory and showing mercy to Robby.
