Is that a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the Filipino Superman! Fashion designer-turned-superhero Herbert Chavez has a unique claim to fame—he has the largest Superman memorabilia collection in the world, certified by Guinness World Records. He has even had over 20 facial surgeries to look more like his idol, Superman. Guess you could say he’s a… super fan?
For the past few years, Chavez has been standing as Superman in Manila Ocean Park. His superpower? Making people happy. He spends his day entertaining adults and children alike and donating to charity, all in the spirit of truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.
