When we think of Superheroes we usually think of Spiderman, Batman, Superman, X-Men etc. There is no doubt that American Superheroes are probably the most well known around the world. But what Superheroes and characters not from USA and Japan? Well each week starting today, we're going start showing you guys Superheroes from other regions. Today's region will be the Philippines.

When it comes to Filipino comics one man usually comes to mind. His name is Mars Ravelo. Mars Ravelo is like the Stan Lee of the Philippines. He has created many characters and was one of the most popular comic book writers of his time. Let's take a look at some of his creations.

Honestly when I first saw Lastikman I thought hey that's Mr. Fantastic. Then I read about his origins. Lastikman is actually an alien who became trapped on the planet Earth. He decides that he would fight crime there. He is able to stretch and reshape himself to any form he desires. His costumes is a part of him, he could never take it off. Very similar to Mr. Fantastic, but remember no idea is original.
