1.
This is Chavez, the man who has spent thousands to look like Superman.
2.
He says he fell in love with the superhero as a kid.
3.
Growing up poor and in the Philippines, Chavez became obsessed with his favorite character.
4.
He's spent the majority of the last 18 years trying to look like him.

His motivations aren't just superficial, either.

"I like to show to the people, especially the children of the Phillipines, that I'm here. Superman is real," Chavez said.
14.
"What I want is to give them inspiration. To give hope."
15.
One has to wonder if Chavez isn't suffering from some kind of dysmorphia.

17.
And it's had some consequences, too.

In fact, Chavez was recently denied surgery on his abdomen. He wanted to get his stomach sculpted like Superman, but doctors found out he'd been getting injections and refused to perform the surgery.
