Lidia Hortencia Rangel Ávalos (born December 29, 1955) is a Mexican former professional wrestler, more commonly known under the ring name Pantera Sureña (Spanish for "Southern Panther").[1] She has also worked as the enmascarada ("masked") wrestling characters La Galáctica, La Galáctica 2000, Lady Discovery and Lady Metal during her career.[1] Her career began in 1969 and stretched until 2008 where she worked her last match.

As Pantera Sureña, Rangel started her career as a luchadora enmascarada, but lost her mask to Lola González in 1977. Her stints as La Galáctica, La Galáctica 2000, Lady Discovery and Lady Metal were all under a mask and only confirmed to be Rangel later in her career.[1] In her almost 40-year career she has won the Distrito Federal Women's Championship,[2] the UWA World Women's Championship,[3] and the Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship with Martha Villalobos in Mexico,[4] as well as being the only luchadora to win the WWWA World Singles Championship in Japan.
