What really is a Superhero?
From Wikipedia--- A superhero (also known as a super hero) is a fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest." Since the debut of the prototypal superhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes — ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas — have dominated American comic books and crossed over into other media. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine or super heroine. By most definitions, characters need not have actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes, although sometimes terms such as costumed crimefighters are used to refer to those without such powers who have many other common traits of superheroes.
Popular and well-loved Pinoy Superheroes--- Darna with Liza Moreno reappeared in 1963 with Darna vs. Isputnik; Captain Barbell, with Bob Soler in the starring role made its debut appearance in 1964 and Lastikman, starring Von Serna, also debuted in 1964 or 1965. Some of us still remember Dolphy’s James Batman (1966) and Pinoy’s version of Captain America and Bucky--- in Captain Philippines at Boy Pinoy (1965) with Bob Soler and Lou Salvador, Jr. in the title roles. Bernard Bonnin came up with his first Alyas Palos in 1962 and Pinoy’s counterpart of

Her contract with Sampaguita Pictures had expired and as a freelancer she did and appeared in movies with other movie outfits--- Banda 24 and Drakulita for Barangay, Oh Delilah and Karate Showdown for JBC, and two Lea pictures, Pabandying-Bandying and Adriana. She was on a non-exclusive contract with the Perezes. There's no stopping the 16 year-old Nora from then on. She's on her way of attaining full stardom on her next movie assignment. Watch out for Part two of Nora Aunor circa 1969.

According to the Young Critic Circle --- "It was not only Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal who were social realists in their films during their time. So was Elwood Perez. He's also a classic." YCC is focusing on works like "Paraisong Parisukat", "Bilangin Ang Mga Bituin sa Langit"; "Pinay: American Style"; "Disgrasyada" and "Stepsisters."
Perez was dumbfounded on his forthcoming film retrospective--- "Bongga ang mga Noranians. Bumili sila ng six hundred tickets. Wala akong masabi," sabi ni Elwood. (The Noranians are simply fabulous. They bought six hundred tickets to the festival.) The Noranians, no doubt, still remember that Perez did quite a number of films starring Nora Aunor, including the unforgetable Till We Meet Again (1985), I Can't Stop Loving You (1985) and Ang Buhay At Pag-ibig Ni Pacita M. [The Life and Loves of Pacita M] (1991).
