KAPITAN KIDLAT by Leonardo P. Abutin

Image hosting by Photobucket

Not exactly a komik character, he's from a radio show into a Movie. But everyone will surely say that he should get a title in print.

Gilbert, would you believe that there was indeed a komiks character named Kapitan Kidlat. This character was the lead serial in the KIdlat Komiks of PSG in 1968. I'll send you an image soon but seems to me that this present Kidalat bears a resemblance :)

Wasn't there a short-lived TV showed with a character named KIDLAT?

Talking about short-lived TV shows about super-heroes, will you include Eric Quizon's COMPUTER MAN in your list? (hehehe)

Budj,

If you have a photo reference of Computer man, why not! :) Sino ba creator nun?

Hi Gilbert,

Now that I think about it, COMPUTERMAN's costume looks very similar to Arnold's LASTIKMAN costume. Computerman wore all black spandex and had this computer monitor/keyboard on his chest (which kinda looked like something he borrowed from Darth Vader). I think Computerman was created by Eric Quizon. :)

Gilbert,

Mack Wyman here.

Two things:

Computerman's costume is simply a black Spandex with a swirling vortex over his chest. He was more a rip-off of AutoMan (Computerman came out during the height of AutoMan's popularity).

There was a Kaptian Kidlat movie in the 1950s, played by Armando Goyena, his costume was more like that of the Kidlat played by Ricky Davao in the series.

Aside from the, there was a Kapitan Kidlat movie in the 80s, played by an unknown actor, but supported by Elizabeth Oropesa (Diwata ng Apoy), Charo Santos (Diwata ng Hangin), and Dranreb Belleza (his annoying little brother, akin to Narda's Ding). His costume is all red with gold highlights, but I can't remember if he had any lightning on his chest. And much like Darna, his mortal form, Dando, was given his powers through a ring. He shouts "Kidlat Ngayon" and "Ngayon Dando" to transform.

Now, I don't know about that remake ol' Mikee Arroyo will make, but I do hope he gets struck by lightning.

early 80's ata ang Kapitan Kidlat. Kasabayan ata yan ng Dalmacio Armas (Ramon Zamora)at yun Tatlong Baraha (Lapids).

Wala bang Ninja Kids or Super Islaw?

I think si lloyd samartino yung kapitan kidlat back in the 80's. However, i'd be delighted to see some comic book releases gaya ng kidlat comics, kickfighter comics and terminator comics. Ang laki kasi ng impact sa akin ng mga comic books na yun :)
