Superman fan goes under knife in bid to look like hero

A PHILIPPINE man obsessed with Superman has gone under the knife in a bizarre attempt to transform himself into his comic book hero, a report said.

Herbert Chavez, 35, has had plastic surgery repeatedly over the past 16 years to get Superman’s famous cleft chin and defined nose, according to ABS-CBN television.

He also had silicone injections for fuller lips, and thigh implants to achieve a more muscular look, the report said.
