"For as long as I can remember, I've been lied to, taken advantage of, shot in the back, and left for dead - and now I have a way out of all of this. What in the hell makes you think I'm going to ask for it?"
—New Mexico

New Mexico seems to dislike or disrespect almost every character he meets. If there is a possiblity of Washington liking someone, then it would be Church.

Survival
A trademark of New Mexico is to survive events that would, at the least, leave others mentally and/or physically destroyed. His amazing record of survival is impressive, including :

* Surviving the self-destruction of his implanted Epsilon unit.
* Escaped from a gunfight with Wyoming mere seconds before a nearby bomb exploded.
* Recovering from a gun-shot wound in the back, inflicted by Agent South (survived due to possessing Agent York's healing unit. It is unknown if he still possessed it from Reconstruction onwards)
* Was saved from being executed by the Meta while in a frozen state due to the Meta's equipment falling.
* Swiftly recovered after the Meta struck him twice with the blade of his Brute Shot.
* Defeated a Hornet single-handedly.
* Survived a gun-shot wound to the shoulder, inflicted by the Meta.
* Survived getting hit by a speeding Warthog.
* Survived being in middle of a powerful explosion, detonated by Sarge.
* Survived being in middle of another powerful explosion, detonated by Tex.
* Managed to escape from a collapsing glacier due to the assistance of Doc.
* Was injured by the Meta, but was saved from the final blow due to the intervention of the Reds and Blues.
