Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carlo J. Caparas adapted his own 1970s komik serial, making this a rare creator-controlled Philippine TV superhero property.
The tattoo effects were so demanding that Robin Padilla reportedly spent hours in makeup daily, which explains why he looks mildly irritated in half his scenes.
