This is Herbert Chavez, a man whom, like a lot of other men, dreamt of being a superhero. But unlike most men who go through life in acceptance that they’ll never really be superheroes, Chavez decided to spend his hard earned money on turning himself into a superhero.
Plastic Superman
37-year old Chavez has spent somewhere in the region of 300,000 pesos (just over £11k) in the Philippines to transform himself from the man you see above into a bona fide Superman replica.
It’s sort of worked…
...in that, there isn’t really any denying that the man above does not in some way resemble the Man of Steel, but this doesn’t really feel like a valid reason for anybody to do this.
Especially when it involves dabbling in illegal methods
You see, what Chavez really wants, alongside his Superman face is the rockhard, Krypton-bustin’ abs to go with it. And to do this he’s apparently injecting himself with an illegal filler (that doesn’t even last), because doctors, in their infinite wisdom, are refusing to give him permanent implants on the basis that his body literally can’t take anymore.
Which should be accepted as a time to stop.
But he hasn’t, and he won’t, and, we don’t know anything anymore. But he definitely looked fine the way that he was.
