The Philippines' Own SuperMan - Goes Through Extensive Surgery To Look Like Man Of Steel

Should we call this the ultimate cosplay? Herbert Chavez, 35-year-old Filipino designer has decided he literally wanted to grow up and be superman.

He went to the extent of extensive cosmetic surgery just to look like Superman. With so many procedures, check out the before and after pictures. Everything from his nose, lips, cheeks, chin and even skin whitening (Hello, Michael Jackson?)

Once a typical-looking Filipino, Chavez now has the firm-jawed face of Clark Kent.

A curl of black hair falls on his forehead, and he occasionally sports the thick, black glasses of his idol's nerdier incarnation, mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent.

He is planning an operation that will give him a more muscular abdomen and is looking at specialised surgery in Japan that will insert metal in his legs to make him taller.

This is next-level idolizing. We can call him our very own local celebrity, our own Superman
