This Superman fan from the Philippines has taken his fanaticism to a new level: in order to look like his favorite superhero the 35-year-old Herbert Chavez underwent several plastic surgeries to modify his facial and body appearance to match those of the flying superhero.
Chavez’s first facial surgery was in 1995, when at the age of 17 he had a chin augmentation to Superman’s cleft. Years later was the turn of his nose that the man wanted to look like Christopher Reeves’ nose.
Chavez’s body structure was not quite as built as Superman’s. To get more of a meaty look in his limbs, he had a thigh implant as well as some silicon injections in the lips, cheek augmentation, eye surgery and god knows what else.
According to a psychiatrist, Chavez may be suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder, a mental illness in which the affected person is excessively concerned about and preoccupied by a perceived defect in his physical features.
Personally I think he should have picked another character, Robin maybe? There are no indication at this stage of Chavez wanting to learn to fly.
