Lastikman(2003) movie




Lastikman is a fictional character and superhero created by Filipino comics legend Mars Ravelo. Lastikman appears to have debuted in comics format – certainly in Aliwan Komiks (1964).

Young Hilario is near a rubber tree when a meteor strikes it, and somehow gains powers of elasticity. His grandfather inspires him to use his new found powers to do good deeds, and thus honour the memories of his dead parents. Hilario grows up to become a Professor in physics, and also the superhero Lastikman.

Mars Ravelo's elastic comics superhero stretches his limbs to the silver screen. This timely tale with environmental understones unravels when a meteor strikes a rubber tree, giving the young Hilario (Oyo Boy Sotto) some special powers of elasticity that renders him, among others, immune to bullets. Hilario grows up to be Professor Larry (Vic Sotto), a physics teacher. When fate and duty calls, he transforms as Lastikan who protects people from injustice and oppression. Things become perplexing when Lastikamn was involved with the clash of his two students. His nerdy student Jepoy (Jeffrey Quizon) who used to idolize him turn to a villain called Evil Stryker. To make matters worse, news spread that Lastikaman beats up Jepoy and kills Ryan (Ryan Eigenman). This disheartens Lastikman. He now contemplates if he'll remain to be a superhero or just an ordinary & simple man
