Derek Ramsay is KIDLAT in new TV5 Superhero Series

A new billboard has been added on the billboard-filled Edsa, which features pinoy actor Derek Ramsay posing as KIDLAT – a new TV5 superhero series with same namesake. According to Interaksyon, Ramsay debuted his costume in public when he “flew” (using a harness of course) over his billboard on Edsa. It would have been very cool if a lot of superhero fans saw that stunt. Check out some photos of his debut:

The costume was said to be made by a Hollywood-based designer, who worked on “X-Men” and “Daredevil“. The design looks really cool and neat, but a lot of comics readers would argue that it resembles costume designs for DC Comics characters — Black Lightning and Static Shock.

Regardless, it would still be interesting to see a new superhero in local TV besides Captain Barbell and Darna. Other talents joining Derek Ramsay are Ritz Azul, Nadine Samonte, Jay Manalo, Wendell Ramos and Baron Geisler. Kidlat will be directed by Mike Tuviera, and will premiere on January 6, 2013 and will air from Monday – Friday at 6:30PM only on TV5.
