Flash Bomba - ABS-CBN

Dusted off from the old komiks our parents used to enjoy, ABS-CBN brings to life one of the most bizarre superhero within the vast collection of acclaimed comic book creator Mars Ravelo.

If size does matter to the ladies, well then, they will get one hell of a kick outta’ this superhero. He has large hands & large feet, & you know what they say about men with large hands & feet...So play up your imagination because after the fiery Dragonna, here comes Flash Bomba!

Tagged as the “Superhero for all Seasons”, Flash Bomba stars Luis Manzano as the famed crime fighter who loves the spotlight, hence the Superhero for all seasons tag [ + the fact that Luis is the son of the Star for all Seasons, & now the elected Batangas Governor, Vilma Santos-Recto]. Flash Bomba is the last of the Mars Ravelo superheroes which comprises the much anticipated Isang Lakas super team, due this 2009 on Primetime Bida.

Flash Bomba is likened to Batman, the enigmatic Dark Knight of DC Comics, for both their origins are the same. Both their past are marked by a death which gave them the drive & will to make a difference in the world. Although Flash Bomba’s origin is folkloric, a given among Asian superheroes, the journey each took to be the superhero the world expects are similar.

Comedy is a staple of the Komiks brand so expect a lot of humorous encounters & situations in which Flash Bomba will find himself in. The once thought dead pinoy superhero genre has now pulled itself out of the grave & found the strength to again fly & this time invade our TV screens. Flash Bomba will start airing on February 7, 2009. Looks like the men and women in tights & capes are here to stay.

Here is a short teaser of Flash Bomba:
