520 _aThe Filipino Heroes League is a 2009 komik by Paolo Fabregas, starring some very distinct Filipino heroes. The team leader, Flashlight, is based on Pinoy rock legend Pepe Smith. The Maker is a kid who can make machines out of junk. Kidlat Kid is a speedster who drives a pedicab for extra income, and who wears a KKK (that's the Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan, our freedom-fighting group from Spanish colonial times, not the other KKK) T-shirt with the third K stitched up so it only reads "KK." The rest of the team comprises telepath Maria Constantino, a gambler named Slick, and Slick's brother Invisiboy. They work for the government, and of course, because they work for the government, they're underfunded. Instead of a Quinjet or a Blackbird, all they have is a jeep with a faulty starter. And so, in one scene with a distinct Filipino flavor (and also the winner of "Best Scene" at last year's Komikon), Invisiboy and Kidlat Kid rush to the rescue in Kidlat Kid's pedicab. Invisiboy also kinda looks like FHL creator Paolo Fabregas. What's up with that? I sat down with Paolo and decided to ask him this and other hard-hitting question, including the status of his application to Marvel Comics (Paolo was one of several Filipino artists shortlisted by CB Cebulski back in February). --http://www.comicscube.com.
