Mars Ravelo's Flash Bomba is finally coming to ABS-CBN this February, starring Luis Manzano. The Ravelos commissioned me some years back to re-design Flash Bomba's costume for modern times, and I'm glad to see that ABS-CBN has been very faithful to the design I did. See below...
I thought that they would have trouble bringing the enlarged hands and feet to live-action, but the prosthetics that they did look good. I think it works better this way, as opposed to using CGI to achieve the effect.
Actually, this is the very first design that I did for the Ravelos, even before I did the Captain Barbell re-design. My friend Bong Leal did the re-designs of Lastikman and Darna (I think they haven't used the re-designed Darna costume yet). I also did the Tiny Tony design (which John Prats brought to life on the screen) but they tweaked it somewhat and it doesn't look like my original design much, IMO.
I also did the logo design for Flash Bomba...
I don't suppose I can interest ABS-CBN to do a Maskarado TV series? :)

Oo nga Reno. Sana magkaroon ng Maskarado TV series. That would be awesome.
Ang dami mo palang ginawa for the Ravelos. One comment nga lang regarding on the Flash Bomba costume. Isn't the pointed belt little dangerous for Flash Bombas you know what.
Hehe creative license na lang yung belt, Gio. :)
Congrats men. Nakita ko yung teaser, sana lang ayusin pa ng konti yung prosthetics. :)
Yo Dodo! Kelan ba natin gagawin ang mga komiks nito? hehe. :P
Reno,
Wow, excellent rendition of Flash Bomba. Why aren't you doing SuperHeroes for Marvel or DC? Or are you?

Hi Rod...
I'm not doing anything for the Big Two... yet. Hopefully I'll get there. But I'm presently doing mostly independent and small press comics for the US market. :)
wow! congrats! actually nakita kong nagsho-shoot ng flash bomba sa 13th flr ng building namin he he he.
If Flash were to bend forward, wouldn't that belt buckle tend to...make him deeply, deeply regret bending forward?
I guess that's what the big feet are for... To help him keep his balance so he doesn't have to bend at the waist too much. :)
