Herbert Chavez – The World’s Most Diehard Superman Fan

Herbert Chavez must be the world’s biggest Superman fan. The 35-year-old Filipino is so obsessed with the Man of Steel that he underwent several plastic surgery procedures just to look like his favorite superhero.

The Filipino Superman

Herbert first went under the knife in 1995 to transform himself into the comic book character and over the ensuing years, he has undergone several other procedures. He had a chin augmentation to get Superman’s cleft, rhinoplasty to get Christopher Reeves nose, silicone injections for more plump lips, thigh implants and liposuction on his stomach in an effort to get the Man of Steel’s rippling physique. He may also have had eye surgery, cheek augmentation and jaw augmentation.

Herbert has idolised Clark Kent and his superhero alter ego since the day he was given the distinctive blue and red suit as a youngster.

He said: “I have been a life-long fan of Superman after being given the costume when I was a child.

“In 1990 after I started working I could afford to buy the Superman figurines which I have been collecting for over 20 years.”

His house in Calamba City, in the Philippines, is brimming with a sizable collection of Superman memorabilia, including life-size statues, action figures, clothing, comics and all sorts of other stuff.

Herbert is now something of a celebrity in his hometown after being crowned “Mr Hero”.

And he has made a profession of his new look — becoming a full-time “pageant trainer”.

But psychiatrists suggest that Herbert may be suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, meaning that he is obsessed with making cosmetic changes to his body.

Still, Herbert has no plans to put an end to his surgery and wants even more in the future.

Pursuing your dreams is great but don’t you think Herbert has gone overboard? See the comparison below of how he looks like before and after his plastic surgeries.
