Haven’t I told you? You know that
I don’t like being around that building.
How was I supposed to know?
We got a lot of calls
but no one paid after.
What a bunch of scrooges.
This lacks some spare parts.
Hey, Charlemagne!
Hello?
Is that thing fixed?
Juz.
Juz?
Juz so.
Juz so you know,
I'll strangle you.
Easy now.
No, fix that.
You know very well
the whole Mang Jose business
depends on that armor.
I told you, I’m on it!
Can’t you stay still for a bit?
Good morning. Didn’t know you were awake.
Now I can bill you.
Pay up?
Pay up?
Pay up.
Because we helped you.
That’s the deal.
Mang Jose’s services
are not for free!
Mang Jose?
Are you Mang Jose?
SOLIDARIDAD:
NEW SUPERHEROES OF THE PHILIPPINES?
DEFENDERS
KIDNAPPING IN DACAC!
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1998
WOAH, WHERE ARE THE SUPERHEROES?
ARE THERE HERO-NAPPERS?!
DACAC CITY - WHO IS
THIS KIDNAPPER WHO IS
ALLEGEDLY RUNNING AFTER
THE MASKED VIGILANTES HERE?
HEY, WHAT HAPPENED
TO CAPTAIN LANDO?
WHY DID HE SUDDENLY
DISAPPEAR? ASKING FOR A FRIEND.
Did you hear the news?
Super Lapu-lapu has gone missing.
Hey, Oldie, pay up!
I don't have--
Hurry!
What the?
Who are those thugs?
You better close up, they’re coming!
You? Pay up!
That’s really how you say
good morning, huh?
This is not enough!
You! Pay up!
I have nothing to give, Boss.
You're hiding your payment!
Granny Ida,
where's your payment?!
We see many customers
the other day!
And you even go
to the beauty parlor!
Oh dear!
Perhaps I can pay with….
noodles?
Bottled water.
Food?
What do you want?
If you don't pay,
we'll get this!
Please, no!
Not Sprat Lee!
Sprat Lee?
That's the name of my plant.
I want that!
Please, don’t! Give it back!
Don’t take Sprat Lee from me!
Help! Help!
Somebody help!
Give Sprat Lee back!
Hey, did you check this armor?
Of course!
All good under the hood!
Go for it, meter’s running!
Mang Jose! Mang Jose!
There they are!
Who are you?!
Ugly cosplay!
You're not allowed here!
Geez, they rubbed off on me.
Sorry!
You police?
Me?
The name is Mang Jose.
If you don’t put an end to this,
I will make you steamed buns--
You, dumplings. And you,
xiao long bao!
Rock and roll!
Kung Fu, huh!
Hah! Fool!
Didn't know
sausages can hurt.
Granny Ida,
don’t hesitate to call me
next time you need our help.
Boss.
One-hit Combo now ready.
Cool!
Catch me!
You're dead.
One-hit Combo fail!
Armor Malfunction.
Now, what?
Jet Li?
Bruce Lee?
Jackie Chan?
You're all idiots!
Boss.
One-hit Combo now ready.
Low battery.
Change battery.
Change battery.
Your armor’s a dud again!
Change battery.
I thought you’d fixed this?
That really works.
The pieces are just new.
Maybe we could deduct
the ruined stuff from the bill?
What was your deal?
Here.
Here’s her text message:
"The Chinese are all over my canteen.
Willing to pay."
But you said
“willing to pay,” Ma’am!
But I didn’t ask
for my canteen to be ruined.
Well that’s how it is.
Would you rather your canteen be ruined,
or you be in ruin?
Calculating expenses.
Calculating additional fees.
Transportation expenses.
Gasoline expenses.
Food expenses.
Plus value-added taxes.
This is your bill.
Thirty thousand?! Oh my God!
Please, Mang Jose!
I can’t pay off all this right now!
Charlemagne, you take over.
Don’t worry, Ma’am! Cheer up!
We have terms and conditions
that will make things easier.
Please, Mang Jose.
Have mercy!
Ten tranches, come on!
They’re here?
Okay!
Mother King,
we finally managed to pap this...
Chubby Lando!
We're so exhausted.
But whatever!
Lando.
The superhero Lando!
How are you?
Oh! Sorry.
Could you remove his gag?
Lance, please?
Mother King!
How dare you! Let me go!
Feisty!
I super like!
Play fair!
You won’t win!
Correction!
I already did.
Remember, there are still
superheroes out there!
Incredible Diego!
Commander Andres!
And Mang Jose!
The superhero for rent?! Ha?
You’re getting on my nerves.
Kwan! Kwan!
You know what to do.
What sugar level, mamsh?
Give him the full hit.
One hundred percent.
No! No!
I know what you’re doing!
I know--
I use it all the time to fish out
you superheroes in hiding.
And of course,
to spread happiness
and peace.
Free milk tea!
Because happiness should be…
free.
Lando,
get up.
Bark.
Twirl!
Twirl!
Mr. Disco.
Mr. Disco.
Shake it, baby!
Shimmy!
Body dancer!
Body dancer!
Body dancer!
Kwan!
Dress him in the full Turbo Rats gear!
This one caves quickly!
Weakling.
Screw.
This.
Shit!
I have gone to a dozen interviews
and not one of them called back!
I’m jobless!
Is that why
you asked me to go out?
Hold it. Of course not!
I mean, can’t a guy invite
his best friend for a solid...
As if! Best friend my ass!
You just wanted a treat!
Well, that, too.
Because I am happily to object.
It's oblige.
Because I am happily oblige.
What every.
It’s whatever.
Bud, I swear to you.
When I get a job,
I’ll make it up to you.
Wait, wait, wait!
Say that again! Say it again!
- Is that really necessary?
- Proof, man!
And… Five, four,
three, two...
action!
Hi, I'm Christopher Santos
and I hereby state that
- I'll make it up to you.
- And then?
The fuck!
The fuck…
they’re huge.
Hey, I know you.
I interviewed you today.
Guys, he’s the one
I was talking about.
The cocky one.
This guy?
Such swag!
Bro, I don't want trouble.
Can you just pay for the beer?
Pay for the beer?
Back off, man.
Better yet, find a job.
If you can.
You'll fight us?! Huh?!
Come on!
Ouch!
Come on! Can you say it again?
Christopher Santos!
Ma, I’m tired.
You can’t run from me!
Sit.
Sit!
What’s that?
Who did that?
It’s nothing, Ma.
There was an earthquake.
Didn’t you feel it?
Where?
In the office! So strong,
the cubicles were swaying.
Fine. Go on.
Okay, this is what happened.
There was an earthquake, right?
And it was so strong
the cubicles were swaying.
One of them fell
and knocked over the water dispenser.
Stop that! Stop it!
Didn’t I tell you
not to get into trouble?
You hungry?
Peace Tea
Ma, can you buy this for me?
Peace Tea Milk Tea
That milk tea’s
probably too expensive
and I’m sure it’s bland!
That won’t taste like anything!
You ask for too much!
I’m already swamped as it is!
It’s free.
So what are the flavors?
There.
I'll go ahead.
Okay.
Clean up while I’m gone,
alright?
Hold on...
Ma?
Love you!
Love you!
Milk tea?
Fine, fine. Bye!
Yeah. Bye!
The Peace Tea is free!
Peace Tea! Peace Tea!
No need for money!
The Peace Tea is free!
Peace Tea! Peace Tea!
No need for money!
And to formally
open this celebration,
let’s all welcome…
Lance!
Hip throw, hip throw,
Pose!
Make some noise!
Can't hear you!
Oh, I can in this ear.
Hot as a steam bath, Lance!
Bath-man can't
even compare, mamsh.
Anyways, tonight you’ll see
a timer on your screens!
When you see it,
grab your delish Peace Tea.
Let's all drink it
at the same time.
Later at 8 PM!
Peace Tea! Peace Tea! Peace Tea!
Give them!
Peace Tea for everyone!
Free Peace Tea for all!
Thank you!
You want it? Mwah!
Excuse me.
Peace Tea. Peace Tea.
Drool Parton? Ew!
Mother King,
Peace Tea is out!
We've given away all of it.
Oh? Finally.
All superheroes in hiding
will be eliminated.
We will free the people
from this rotten system.
Freedom.
Free Peace Tea for all!
Crazy.
Ma! Do you have the milk tea?
- Good evening to you, too.
- There you go!
Such a grouch,
day or night!
Hi.
Here we go!
Ok, let’s try this.
Here you go, Ma.
It’s so hard to insert the straw.
The lid looks high-tech!
Maybe we have to do it
along with everyone else?
There!
Five, four, three,
two, one!
Fight!
Alright! Wait.
This deserves a selfie.
Alright.
Fine, nice pose!
Keep it up, Ma!
Nice!
Ma? Ma!
Ma!
Mang Jose!
Look for Mang Jose.
Who’s Mang Jose?
Ma? Ma!
Go outside!
Follow the voice!
Follow me. Go outside!

What's the update, Lance?
Our event was a success.
But we encountered
a slight problem.
What is it?
Calculating expenses.
Calculating additional fees.
Transportation expenses.
Gasoline expenses.
Food expenses.
Plus value-added taxes.
There.
Okay.
There you go.
That’s already discounted.
What is this?
He’s asking what that is.
This? A receipt, of course!
Mang Jose’s services
are not for free!
Do you think it's free?!
We helped you,
so you pay us. Come on.
What is this?
Wait, wait.
Are you Mang Jose?
Mama told me
to look for you.
Your mom? Why?
Is she a client of mine?
No, but…
Last night, she came home
with two milk teas.
She drank one and after that,
I remember
She drank it and transformed
like she wasn’t herself.
Okay, okay.
We get it.
Charlemagne, just bill him.
Too chatty.
He’s already in front of you!
Why me?
I’m the star
of the show, right?
Like I said!
Just pay up and quit jabbering!
Hold it, hold it.
Mama didn’t mention anything
about paying you.
She just told me to find you.
Why should I care?
Who is your mother anyway?
Tina Santos.
Tina?
Yes.
Jose. Are you okay?
Just forget about paying for now.
You’re a first-time customer after all.
This one is on us.
Huh?!
Are you kidding?
You never do anything for free!
Mang Jose,
maybe you could help me.
My mom has been taken!
The Turbo Rats got your mom, too?
Turbo Rats?
Yes, Turbo Rats!
Unfortunately,
we’re booked. Very busy.
If you need help
maybe you can get it from
your father.
Or your grandpa!
My stepdad is abroad.
It’s just me and my mother here…
Never mind. Leave it to me.
I’ll help you. I’ll look for your mother.
Good! So he’s helping you.
You know what to do!
Down payment?
But I thought this was free,
like you said.
That was for the first favor.
Can’t have freebies twice…
you’re not kin!
How about on installment basis?
I have nothing on me.
That’s fine. Forget it.
What?
Objections?
Just what I was saying.
Installment, five years.
We'll go bankrupt because of you.
They sighted
another superhero, mamsh.
In that tenement,
Jerkoff Village, Dacac City
it's a nice name of a place
but our Turbo Rats couldn't handle!
I’ll sashay over there myself!
Oh well.
I don’t want to resort
to vulgar language but…
like,
you seem like shit?
Anyway.
Kwan!
Kwan!
And of course, Lando.
our new Turbo Rat,
Kwan.
Go to that compound
Lance was talking about.
Go!
Lance, stay for a bit.
Happy.
Sad.
Happy.
Sad.
Do you know why
the others are sad?
They don’t have enough money,
because it’s being stolen
by the powerfuls.
The business owners,
the people in government,
superheroes.
Especially Mang Jose.
While the world is run by the “haves”
while there’s money,
many will be sad.
We want everyone to be happy, right?
So,
start by making good
in your job, Lance.
Boss, I don't feel good about this.
Let's just come back tomorrow.
This is not going to take long.
Savior
Charlemagne, keep watch here.
Okay.
- Where do we go, Tope?
- This way.
Why did we stop by again?
They could catch us here.
Obviously, to get the money
to pay you with, right?
Wait a sec, will paying you
be even worth it?
Of course! I'm great!
What are your powers?
My body absorbs every hit
the enemy lands on me.
I amass energy
and I use that to hit back.
The more I get hurt,
the stronger my comeback.
For real?
Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't mean to.
Where do your powers come from?
Were you like, bitten
by a radioactive spider?
Did a giant shooting star land on you?
Did you swallow a stone by accident?
Oh?! I don’t know what you’re on.
I don't know about other superheroes.
But as for me,
I woke up like this.
Woke up like this?
What do you mean?
I was born this way.
Must be genetic.
If it were all genetic,
then the kids of superheroes are lucky.
They have powers just like that.
But wait a sec.
If you have natural powers,
what do you need an armor for?
It just increases my power.
On my own,
I can multiply force twice.
My armor multiplies it hundred-fold.
That’s why your payment
should be a hundred times more.
Where is it?
Don’t bother coming in.
Tina, we really need the money.
Christopher is growing fast.
Then find a normal job!
Why don’t you go back to
being a security guard?
You know it’s not enough.
Not enough?
Not enough for your philandering.
You know very well
we superheroes are in danger.
How many times
do I have to tell you that?
Now, choose!
Us?
or your Mang Jose adventures?
So you’ve been applying.
Friendly and eloquent call center...
Cut it out!
How’s that going?
Forget that. I don’t want to talk about it,
it gets me down.
It's like I won't be hired anyway.
You give up so easily.
Just keep on applying.
You’ll eventually get a job.
Fight.
Okay.
Ready?
Ready.
Let's go!
Boss! Turbo Rats!
Enemies approaching.
Get ready.
First Blood.
You have slain an enemy.
Double kill.
Triple kill.
Retreat.
Too much expenses.
Is there no elevator?
Killing spree.
You go ahead.
Maniac.
Savage.
Did that hurt?
Wiped out.
Come, quick!
Tope!
Come here!
Lando?
Tope, let's go!
Charlemage, let's go!
Start the engine!
Let's go!
It won’t start!
I’ll drive!
- They're getting near!
- Warning, enemies approaching.
Enemies approaching.
Show stealer extra!
I'll rip your bangs off!
Charlemagne!
Fly, you fools!
Mang Jose, aren't we gonna go back
to save your manager?
Too risky. Lance is there.
This is what I'm afraid of.
I can’t take you with me
anymore on the mission.
I’ll leave you in my house.
Huh?
You can’t.
I have to find Ma.
If you won’t take me,
get off the jeep
and I’ll go there on my own.
But this is my jeep.
That’s what I said!
Fine, I’ll get off.
What’s happening?
Weren’t you getting off?
Do you even know
where you’re going?
Where your mother was taken?
No.
No?
Then shut up.
Kwan, wake up.
Not you. Her!
Kwan!
You look familiar.
Tina?
Mother King!
Mang Jose got away from us, mamsh!
How did that happen?
Well, he was with a young cutie!
Slightly yummy so I was
a bit off my game!
Send it to me.
Send you a snap!
Do you know them?
Mang Jose! Mang Jose!
So you’re a vlogger, huh?!
Yes, ma’am.
Tope is my son.
Your son?
And who’s the father?
Mang Jose.
So you guys got busy.
You know,
I have a child too
same age as your son.
If she were still alive.
So.
Tell me more.
About Mang Jose.
About Tope.
Can I try?
- You know how to use that?
- Of course.
Like this?
Yes, but you can
adjust the brightness.
Whoa! Hey!
Why’d you throw it out?!
Are you stupid?
We’ll be traced for sure!
My Papa gave that to me!
Papa?
Isn’t he just your stepdad?
It's the same thing.
He has been a father to me.
He wanted to bring me
and Mama to Saudi with him.
Chitchat—
additional twenty percent on the bill.
You just keep piling it on,
don’t you!
Where do you spend the money
from your gigs, anyway?
What else is your pay for?
But to treat yourself with!
Good food, little getaways,
and of course
for my drinking sprees!
Sometimes
I send it to my ex-wife.
Ex? You have an ex-wife?
It's all in the past.
Where are we going again?
We’re going to ask for help
from my smartest friend.
You have a friend?
So far I’ve only seen you
rack up enemies.
Yes, I do.
Just the one, in fact.
Really?
What happened to the others?
I pushed them off this jeep
while I'm driving.
I thought we were looking for Mama.
Just relax.
Hickeytown Hotel
Why are we here?
Didn’t I tell you
I had to see my friend.
Here? For real?
That’s what I said.
Again, here?
Are we doing this
over and over?
He hides out here.
Besides, we need a break.
We need to recharge.
But, here?
Really?
Don’t worry,
I won’t make moves on you.
May I help you?
Good evening.
Good evening, sir.
Five hours?
Okay, sir. Let me check.
Sir, we only have
the executive room.
That would be 599 pesos.
Okay.
Hey, this goes
to your bill again, alright?
Here you go.
Room 312 Executive room.
Okay, thank you.
Sir, by the way,
complimentary milk tea.
Just take them.
We’ll need those later.
Great, thank you.
Bye.
Enjoy, Mother!
Such a cutie you’ve got there.
Winner!
Of course.
Mang Jose and Tope are here.
Who are we visiting here, Mang Jose?
You haven’t answered me that yet.
Don’t worry.
Me and this one are tight.
Marcelo.
Jose?!
You shameless jerk!
What do you need now?
It’s an emergency.
Emergency!
You show up
when you need something!
And who’s that?
I'm Tope. Tope.
You’re Tina’s son?
You know my mother?
Of course!
I stood as godfather--
Never mind.
Come in! Come in!
Let's go.
Come in!
A lot of people have tried this.
I drink it everyday.
Hold on, let me examine it.
Are you also a superhero?
No. Just helping out.
So you also bill people?
Of course not.
I'm just helping.
Marcelo,
we need your intelligence.
Yes. Because he hasn’t got it.
Milk tea.
Based on what I see,
this milk tea has an entirely
different composition.
It contains a foreign organism,
which reacts in perfect balance
with the milk tea!
And did you know that milk tea
originated in Taiwan,
but no one knows
who thought of mixing and when--
Cut it out.
We see your point.
So who’s going to try this?
I’ll drink.
Marcelo, Tope.
If something happens to me,
the rest is up to you.
I don't feel any--
Mang Jose?
Seems okay to me--
Mang Jose.
What are we gonna do?
What's that? Wait!
Based on what happened
to you and your mom.
I conclude that this milk tea
has adverse effects
only on superheroes.
Hold on.
Are you saying
my mom is a superhero?
Why?
Didn’t you know?
Marcelo!
How will the effects wear off?
The only way the effects
of the milk tea could go away
is for you to throw up.
Like I did a while ago.
You go now! Scram!
You’ll blow my cover!
What are we going to do,
Mang Jose?
I said, go now!
You wussy little prick.
Tope,
hit me.
On the head?! Really?!
You said, "The more you get hurt,
the stronger your comeback" right?!
More hits.
Wait.
Just a little more!
- Power at twenty percent.
- More.
That's good enough.
Armor ready.
- Rock and roll!
- Combat systems activated.
Come in!
Hey, watch it!
We've just had two minutes!
Mang Jose, Mang Jose!
- Excuse me, sir.
- Yeah, that’s right.
- Sorry, excuse us.
- Power at fifty percent.
Power at sixty percent.
Group study?!
Come on, Gen Zs!
Wait, wait!
Do that later.
Let's go!
I think you just gave
the oldies a good time, idiot!
You're old enough
to call them sister.
We know, Lord, that you will open
all the doors in our lives.
Amen?
Classic moves!
Tope!
Mang Jose, duck!
That was close!
Tope.
Mang Jose?
You go ahead.
Go!
Boss. One-hit Combo
now ready.
Low power.
Low power.
Tope!
Mang Jose!
What's up?
Nothin’ goin’?
Low power.
Low power.
Just some bitch slappin’?
Is that it?
This is how you whip it, bitch!
Ouchie?!
Low on calcium, sweetie?
You make great dumbbells!
- Ouch!
- Impact not detected.
It’s starting to hurt.
Boss, direct contact
from enemy required.
I get it, I get it!
It’s not that easy, you know?
Scarf attack!
Pashmina!
Pashneya slap!
Schlap!
Impact receptors missed.
This bitch!
Impact not counted.
It tickles.
Armor malfunction.
Reset required.
Power at twenty percent.
Thought you could get
an energy freebie, huh!
Breakdance!
Mang Jose.
I think...
my scarf suits you!
Let’s go, hurry!
What a pity!
You’re a hottie!
Let’s go, hurry!
Lance.
Let me guess.
Mang Jose
has escaped again?
Even the young cutie pie,
mamsh.
The boy?
The boy got away?
From you?
Can’t we just let them be?
All the heroes are now our Turbo Rats!
There are no more heroes!
Aren’t we done
with Phase one?
On with Phase two, then!
Let’s conquer
the whole of the Philippines!
The UN!
The rest of the world.
Isn’t that what you wanted?
Yes! Yes!
That’s exactly what I want!
But I want more!
And I can’t have more,
if Mang Jose doesn’t fall
into our hands.
Who is that
Mang Jose anyway?
He has nothing
on the other superheroes!
2005.
My child was on her last breath.
Crying.
Because of her heart disease.
Here comes Oprah again.
Come on, Auntie.
My child died of disease.
- She died.
- Super talk show.
Because we didn’t have the money
to have her treated.
Mamsh, we were
poor things then!
We didn't even have
our suits and powers!
Did you forget?
You wouldn’t understand
how painful it is for a mother
to lose her child
because of poverty.
I lost all happiness.
Because of money.
everyone else
had the upper hand.
- Yeah, right. Equality.
- Because of money,
Everyone's equal?!
- Then, what?!
- I lost everything,
everyone had one over me.
Everyone who had money
edged me out.
What do you think, Lance?
Ouch!
Mommy!
Kill yourself, Lance.
We can stop by and rest here.
Won’t they catch up with us here?
I don’t think so.
They’re gone.
Besides,
I badly need to pee.
No one really knows
where Mother King came from.
Daaamn?
Dayyym? What’s that?
So you superheroes were
wiped out by Mother King,
not by humankind, right?
I think you now know too much.
Mama told me
that bedtime story over and over.
Every night she would
tell it to me without fail,
so I know all about those things.
Can you imagine?
She’s been a superhero
all this time.
She never told me.
She was right
to keep it from you.
It was for your own good,
for your own safety.
It just makes me wonder
if my deadbeat father
was also a superhero.
Because if he were…
What if he were one?
That makes him an asshole.
This couldn’t have happened
to Mama and I.
He would be there
to protect us.
You know what, kid?
You need to learn
self-defense.
I saw you fight back there.
You have it in you!
But you look like
you need some practice.
You tend to go
headlong into it.
Mama hates it
when I get into fights, though.
Fighting is different
from self-defense.
You have a point.
Let’s do this.
I told you to relax.
♪ When the night comes on, ♪

Breathe in through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.

So, if you know my mom,
is it possible that we’ve already met?
You were really young
when I left her.
What did you say?
Nothing,
I said that’ll do.
Ah. That'll do.
Okay.
The best offense is defense.
Your power could come from an emotional,
not a physical core.

Mang Jose,
can I ask you something?
but don't get offended.
I just don’t get you.
Why do you always
ask for payment?
My wife had a delicate pregnancy.
All I knew
was to be Mang Jose.
I thought
it wouldn’t be so bad
to charge for my services.
I didn't tell your mom--
my ex-wife.
She was furious when she found out,
and threw me out.
Just about right.
To be real, superheroes
aren’t supposed to be…
paid?
Yeah?
Mang Jose,
does your child know you?
No, sadly.
Why don’t you
introduce yourself?
He’s better off
not knowing me.
I worry he might
take after me.
The way I see it,
it was a good thing Mama
got a boyfriend because
even if he’s always abroad,
at least I have
a father figure somehow.
Son?
Huh?
Son of a...
You better
take it easy with that.
I bet your ex-wife
threw you out
because of your drinking as well.
Would I make
a good father to you?
Huh?
I mean, let’s just say
Would you find me okay as a father?
I don't know.
But I find you okay as a comedian!
I bet you’re just hungry.
Probably.
Alright, I got this.
Damn, you were
so close to saying it!
Would you like anything, sir?
Can I get…
How do I say this?
Tope,
try not to faint.
I am your father.
No, it has to be cool.
Yo son, who’s yo daddy?
Lame.
Let’s do Fast Talk!
Tina, the nagging superhero,
here’s your question.
Coffee or tea?
Peace Tea.
Boyfriend or husband?
Peace Tea.
Superhero or supervillain?
Peace Tea.
No, it needs to be
easy for him to understand.
Luke, I am your father.
Peace Tea,
the answer to everything.
Peace Tea.
Superior in taste. For all.
Tope!
For all.
Peace Tea.
The answer to everything.
Peace Tea.
Superior in taste. For all.
Peace Tea.
Tope.
Breathe in through the nose,
exhale through the mouth.
What happened?
Just relax.
Did that blast come from me?
Wait, why are we going back?
I’m taking you home.
I’m finishing this mission.
Hold up.
Are we discussing this again?
Didn’t we agree
that we’re finding Mama?
Why are you suddenly
taking me home again?
Didn’t you see?
You can’t control
your powers yet.
Get over yourself!
My powers are physical.
Yours are emotional.
We’re both going
to end up in trouble.
I have powers now!
I can really save Mama!
You’ve seen what
they did to her on TV, right?!
And now you’re telling me
to step back?!
You’re taking me home
after everything we’ve been through?
What are you,
some sort of coward?!
You really are out of it, aren’t you!
Don’t you get it?
I don’t want you
to be in danger!
What the hell are you talking about?
Where is all this coming from?
I don’t care!
I’m paying you!
Isn’t that what matters to you?!
That’s all you ever think about!
Who are you to tell me what to do,
you’re not my father!
Yes, I am!
Shit.
Tope, sorry.
I’ve wanted
to tell you for so long
but I didn’t know how.
Your mom,
I’m trying
to protect you both.
Superheroes are in danger.
Tope, I want you
to understand.
Tope!
I wanted to tell you.
But I couldn't find the right timing!
Timing?
Well, nice timing,
congratulations!
Pa?
Screw you.
Son of a bitch,
watch your mouth!
You should be thankful
I'm owning up to it!
I didn’t have to!
It's not like I would've
gotten anything out of you!
And what could I have
gotten out of it, too?
I got nothing from you
my whole life!
Don’t forget,
I’m a superhero.
Bravo! Such a superhero!
Saving countless lives!
But you can’t even show your face
to your own son!
That’s your mother’s fault!
My mother?
Mama has been there all along!
Mama was there
when I was looking for you!
She was there
on my graduation day!
She was there when I came home
beaten to a pulp!
Mama was there
when I was circumcised!
Really?!
You're circumcised?!
You really are an asshole.
I don’t need you.
Don’t you dare
turn your back--
This?
This is what you live for, right?
You're paid.
Don’t show your face
to me again
or I might end up billing you
for all those years.
Freakin’ empty.
Ma?
Ma!
Charlemagne?
Charlemagne?
Mang Jose.
Mother King!
Tina and Tope
are asking about you.
You Motherfuc... King!
I'm indeed Mother King.
I’ll have you fetched.
Don't run away,
if you want to see your family alive.
I’ll wait here.
Okay!
You guys are already here?
You're fast.
Did you use Waze?
Oh my gosh.
I haven’t hooked
this one yet.
He’s not easy to convert
into a Turbo Rat.
Strong.
Hi.
Who are you?
Mother King.
Mother King yourself.
Are you calling me names?
Well, you started it.
When? When?
Ma?
Ma?
Where’s Ma?!
Ma?
Ma!
Oh, she's right here.
Your mom is now a Turbo Rat.
She's one of my Kwans now.
Where's Mother King!
What's that smell?
It stinks here!
Mother King!
Oh. Finally,
you're here!
You gave me the hardest time
among all superheroes.
What do you
have against me?!
Why are you
doing this to me?
Have you forgotten?
How easily you forget!
What a pity.
What a pity.
Hold it.
I think I know your face.
I remember!
You were my client!
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Cut it out!
This is turning into a musical!
Let’s clear things up,
shall we?
Did we ever hook up?
Of course not!
You think
you’re hot stuff?
You’re nothing to me.
Yuck! I won’t hit that.
Your nose is too big.
Why you little Chucky doll
of a Mother King!
Tope!
Kill Mang Jose.
Tope!
Mang Jose. Get out of here!
Mother King! Please stop!
Kill the father who abandoned you.
Who wanted nothing else
but to be a superhero!
Kill your deadbeat father.
You animal!
Tope! Control.

I'm sorry, Mang Jose.
I didn't mean it.
I can’t believe it!
Is that all it takes?
You’ll easily forgive
your good for nothing father?
Tope.
Mother King!
Won’t you ever stop?
Not as long as
you worship money!
Why? Who should I
be worshipping?
You?!
I'm a better option
than you.
You’re worth nothing.
All you know
is to be a superhero!
People won’t need superheroes
if there weren’t monsters like you.

Sorry!

For the hit on my back.
Additional 100,000 pesos.
Seriously!
What do I do?!
Control.
Don’t forget
what I taught you.
Alright.
Breathe in through the nose...
Are you one of Jose’s relatives?
He helped me.
He saved my Pussy.
My pet cat nearly
got hit by a car.
If not for him,
my Pussy will be gone.
Sorry!
Your looks have not faded,
Mang Jose!
Sorry about that.
Grandma’s a bit forgetful.
When she had gone missing,
Mang Jose helped us.
Mang Jose came to the rescue
when our entire village caught fire.
The whole village
send their condolences.
Thank you to all of you.
For grieving with us.
We’re sorry we don’t have biscuits
or coffee to offer you.
Don’t worry about that, son.
We owe your father our debt
of gratitude.
We’re here to accompany you
in your grief.
We are not leaving.
There, it's ringing.
What does it say?
Emman Dela Cruz.
Emman Dela Cruz - 2000?
I’ll be going ahead.
Again, my condolences. God bless.
Was that Emman Dela Cruz?
Might be him.
Okay, we can tear that out.
There’s another one.
What name does it say?
Geo Morales.
A peso?
- My condolences.
- Even you, Grandma?
So who’s staying?
I though it's debts of gratitude
that they have.
Instead, what they have
are debts literally.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
The sweetest fruit is always bought
by the first paycheck, bro!
Just as promised.
I told you, as soon as I land a job--
Congrats!
Thank you.
You were saying?
You didn’t have to take my video.
I’m true to my word!
Of course I needed proof!
Hey!
You again?
Yes, it's me again.
You always block our way.
The best offense…
is defense.
Breathe in through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
When you gain control of yourself,
you’re in control of the situation.
Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Cheers!
Hello?
Yes, I know you, Ma’am.
Oops, Sir, sorry.
Alright, I am on way.
No,
this is free.
See you then.
Guys, you go drink without me
because I have to go.
Work.
Okay, then! Bye!
Hey, you have to pay!
Hey, Tope!
You have to pay!
Leave it to me!
I’ll make a deposit!
Mudrakels, calling.
Patching through.
Ma!
Tope, are you
on your way home?
I might be late.
I just have an emergency.
Don’t forget
to buy my ginger tea!
I need it for my voice!
Of course.
And the eggs!
For our custards!
Of course.
Going now. Bye, Ma!
Love you!
Take care, son!
Love you, too!
Okay.
Should I start the meter, boss?
No need.
If you really have
nothing to pay.
You can call me.
I'll do it!
But you're just an extra.
I'm a manager.
And a hero as well.
Right. Extra.
Yeah. I'm an Extra...

Haven’t I told you? You know that
I don’t like being around that building.
How was I supposed to know?
We got a lot of calls
but no one paid after.
What a bunch of scrooges.
This lacks some spare parts.
Hey, Charlemagne!
Hello?
Is that thing fixed?
Juz.
Juz?
Juz so.
Juz so you know,
I'll strangle you.
Easy now.
No, fix that.
You know very well
the whole Mang Jose business
depends on that armor.
I told you, I’m on it!
Can’t you stay still for a bit?
Good morning. Didn’t know you were awake.
Now I can bill you.
Pay up?
Pay up?
Pay up.
Because we helped you.
That’s the deal.
Mang Jose’s services
are not for free!

Maybe we could deduct
the ruined stuff from the bill?
What was your deal?
Here.
Here’s her text message:
"The Chinese are all over my canteen.
Willing to pay."
But you said
“willing to pay,” Ma’am!
But I didn’t ask
for my canteen to be ruined.
Well that’s how it is.
Would you rather your canteen be ruined,
or you be in ruin?

Oh! Sorry.
Could you remove his gag?
Lance, please?

I super like!
Play fair!

Remember, there are still
superheroes out there!
Incredible Diego!
Commander Andres!
And Mang Jose!
The superhero for rent?! Ha?
You’re getting on my nerves.
Kwan! Kwan!
You know what to do.
What sugar level, mamsh?
Give him the full hit.

No! No!
I know what you’re doing!
I know--
I use it all the time to fish out

I have gone to a dozen interviews
and not one of them called back!
I’m jobless!
Is that why
you asked me to go out?
Hold it. Of course not!
I mean, can’t a guy invite
his best friend for a solid...
As if! Best friend my ass!
You just wanted a treat!
Well, that, too.
Because I am happily to object.
It's oblige.
Because I am happily oblige.
What every.
It’s whatever.
Bud, I swear to you.
When I get a job,
I’ll make it up to you.
Wait, wait, wait!
Say that again! Say it again!
- Is that really necessary?
- Proof, man!
And… Five, four,
three, two...
action!
Hi, I'm Christopher Santos
and I hereby state that
- I'll make it up to you.
- And then?
The fuck!
The fuck…
they’re huge.
Hey, I know you.
I interviewed you today.
Guys, he’s the one
I was talking about.
The cocky one.
This guy?
Such swag!
Bro, I don't want trouble.
Can you just pay for the beer?
Pay for the beer?
Back off, man.
Better yet, find a job.
If you can.
You'll fight us?! Huh?!
Come on!
Ouch!
Come on! Can you say it again?
Christopher Santos!
Ma, I’m tired.
You can’t run from me!
Sit.
Sit!
What’s that?
Who did that?
It’s nothing, Ma.
There was an earthquake.
Didn’t you feel it?
Where?
In the office! So strong,
the cubicles were swaying.
Fine. Go on.
Okay, this is what happened.
There was an earthquake, right?
And it was so strong
the cubicles were swaying.
One of them fell
and knocked over the water dispenser.
Stop that! Stop it!
Didn’t I tell you
not to get into trouble?
You hungry?
Peace Tea
Ma, can you buy this for me?
Peace Tea Milk Tea
That milk tea’s
probably too expensive
and I’m sure it’s bland!
That won’t taste like anything!
You ask for too much!
I’m already swamped as it is!
It’s free.
So what are the flavors?
There.
I'll go ahead.
Okay.
Clean up while I’m gone,
alright?
Hold on...
Ma?
Love you!
Love you!
Milk tea?
Fine, fine. Bye!
Yeah. Bye!
The Peace Tea is free!
Peace Tea! Peace Tea!
No need for money!
The Peace Tea is free!
Peace Tea! Peace Tea!
No need for money!
And to formally
open this celebration,
let’s all welcome…
Lance!
Hip throw, hip throw,
Pose!
Make some noise!
Can't hear you!
Oh, I can in this ear.
Hot as a steam bath, Lance!
Bath-man can't
even compare, mamsh.
Anyways, tonight you’ll see
a timer on your screens!
When you see it,
grab your delish Peace Tea.
Let's all drink it
at the same time.
Later at 8 PM!
Peace Tea! Peace Tea! Peace Tea!
Give them!
Peace Tea for everyone!
Free Peace Tea for all!
Thank you!
You want it? Mwah!
Excuse me.
Peace Tea. Peace Tea.
Drool Parton? Ew!
Mother King,
Peace Tea is out!
We've given away all of it.
Oh? Finally.
All superheroes in hiding
will be eliminated.
We will free the people
from this rotten system.
Freedom.
Free Peace Tea for all!
Crazy.
Ma! Do you have the milk tea?
- Good evening to you, too.
- There you go!
Such a grouch,
day or night!
Hi.
Here we go!
Ok, let’s try this.
Here you go, Ma.
It’s so hard to insert the straw.
The lid looks high-tech!
Maybe we have to do it
along with everyone else?
There!
Five, four, three,
two, one!
Fight!
Alright! Wait.
This deserves a selfie.
Alright.
Fine, nice pose!
Keep it up, Ma!
Nice!
Ma? Ma!
Ma!
Mang Jose!
Look for Mang Jose.
Who’s Mang Jose?
Ma? Ma!
Go outside!
Follow the voice!
Follow me. Go outside!

What's the update, Lance?
Our event was a success.
But we encountered
a slight problem.
What is it?
Calculating expenses.
Calculating additional fees.
Transportation expenses.
Gasoline expenses.
Food expenses.
Plus value-added taxes.
There.
Okay.
There you go.
That’s already discounted.
What is this?
He’s asking what that is.
This? A receipt, of course!
Mang Jose’s services
are not for free!
Do you think it's free?!
We helped you,
so you pay us. Come on.
What is this?
Wait, wait.
Are you Mang Jose?
Mama told me
to look for you.
Your mom? Why?
Is she a client of mine?
No, but…
Last night, she came home
with two milk teas.
She drank one and after that,
I remember
She drank it and transformed
like she wasn’t herself.
Okay, okay.
We get it.
Charlemagne, just bill him.
Too chatty.
He’s already in front of you!
Why me?
I’m the star
of the show, right?
Like I said!
Just pay up and quit jabbering!
Hold it, hold it.
Mama didn’t mention anything
about paying you.
She just told me to find you.
Why should I care?
Who is your mother anyway?
Tina Santos.
Tina?
Yes.
Jose. Are you okay?
Just forget about paying for now.
You’re a first-time customer after all.
This one is on us.
Huh?!
Are you kidding?
You never do anything for free!
Mang Jose,
maybe you could help me.
My mom has been taken!
The Turbo Rats got your mom, too?
Turbo Rats?
Yes, Turbo Rats!
Unfortunately,
we’re booked. Very busy.
If you need help
maybe you can get it from
your father.
Or your grandpa!
My stepdad is abroad.
It’s just me and my mother here…
Never mind. Leave it to me.
I’ll help you. I’ll look for your mother.
Good! So he’s helping you.
You know what to do!
Down payment?
But I thought this was free,
like you said.
That was for the first favor.
Can’t have freebies twice…
you’re not kin!
How about on installment basis?
I have nothing on me.
That’s fine. Forget it.
What?
Objections?
Just what I was saying.
Installment, five years.
We'll go bankrupt because of you.
They sighted
another superhero, mamsh.
In that tenement,
Jerkoff Village, Dacac City
it's a nice name of a place
but our Turbo Rats couldn't handle!
I’ll sashay over there myself!
Oh well.
I don’t want to resort
to vulgar language but…
like,
you seem like shit?
Anyway.
Kwan!
Kwan!
And of course, Lando.
our new Turbo Rat,
Kwan.
Go to that compound
Lance was talking about.
Go!
Lance, stay for a bit.
Happy.
Sad.
Happy.
Sad.
Do you know why
the others are sad?
They don’t have enough money,
because it’s being stolen
by the powerfuls.
The business owners,
the people in government,
superheroes.
Especially Mang Jose.
While the world is run by the “haves”
while there’s money,
many will be sad.
We want everyone to be happy, right?
So,
start by making good
in your job, Lance.
Boss, I don't feel good about this.
Let's just come back tomorrow.
This is not going to take long.
Savior
Charlemagne, keep watch here.
Okay.
- Where do we go, Tope?
- This way.
Why did we stop by again?
They could catch us here.
Obviously, to get the money
to pay you with, right?
Wait a sec, will paying you
be even worth it?
Of course! I'm great!
What are your powers?
My body absorbs every hit
the enemy lands on me.
I amass energy
and I use that to hit back.
The more I get hurt,
the stronger my comeback.
For real?
Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't mean to.
Where do your powers come from?
Were you like, bitten
by a radioactive spider?
Did a giant shooting star land on you?
Did you swallow a stone by accident?
Oh?! I don’t know what you’re on.
I don't know about other superheroes.
But as for me,
I woke up like this.
Woke up like this?
What do you mean?
I was born this way.
Must be genetic.
If it were all genetic,
then the kids of superheroes are lucky.
They have powers just like that.
But wait a sec.
If you have natural powers,
what do you need an armor for?
It just increases my power.
On my own,
I can multiply force twice.
My armor multiplies it hundred-fold.
That’s why your payment
should be a hundred times more.
Where is it?
Don’t bother coming in.
Tina, we really need the money.
Christopher is growing fast.
Then find a normal job!
Why don’t you go back to
being a security guard?
You know it’s not enough.
Not enough?
Not enough for your philandering.
You know very well
we superheroes are in danger.
How many times
do I have to tell you that?
Now, choose!
Us?
or your Mang Jose adventures?
So you’ve been applying.
Friendly and eloquent call center...
Cut it out!
How’s that going?
Forget that. I don’t want to talk about it,
it gets me down.
It's like I won't be hired anyway.
You give up so easily.
Just keep on applying.
You’ll eventually get a job.
Fight.
Okay.
Ready?
Ready.
Let's go!
Boss! Turbo Rats!
Enemies approaching.
Get ready.
First Blood.
You have slain an enemy.
Double kill.
Triple kill.
Retreat.
Too much expenses.
Is there no elevator?
Killing spree.
You go ahead.
Maniac.
Savage.
Did that hurt?
Wiped out.
Come, quick!
Tope!
Come here!
Lando?
Tope, let's go!
Charlemage, let's go!
Start the engine!
Let's go!
It won’t start!
I’ll drive!
- They're getting near!
- Warning, enemies approaching.
Enemies approaching.
Show stealer extra!
I'll rip your bangs off!
Charlemagne!
Fly, you fools!
Mang Jose, aren't we gonna go back
to save your manager?
Too risky. Lance is there.
This is what I'm afraid of.
I can’t take you with me
anymore on the mission.
I’ll leave you in my house.
Huh?
You can’t.
I have to find Ma.
If you won’t take me,
get off the jeep
and I’ll go there on my own.
But this is my jeep.
That’s what I said!
Fine, I’ll get off.
What’s happening?
Weren’t you getting off?
Do you even know
where you’re going?
Where your mother was taken?
No.
No?
Then shut up.
Kwan, wake up.
Not you. Her!
Kwan!
You look familiar.
Tina?
Mother King!
Mang Jose got away from us, mamsh!
How did that happen?
Well, he was with a young cutie!
Slightly yummy so I was
a bit off my game!
Send it to me.
Send you a snap!
Do you know them?
Mang Jose! Mang Jose!
So you’re a vlogger, huh?!
Yes, ma’am.
Tope is my son.
Your son?
And who’s the father?
Mang Jose.
So you guys got busy.
You know,
I have a child too
same age as your son.
If she were still alive.
So.
Tell me more.
About Mang Jose.
About Tope.
Can I try?
- You know how to use that?
- Of course.
Like this?
Yes, but you can
adjust the brightness.
Whoa! Hey!
Why’d you throw it out?!
Are you stupid?
We’ll be traced for sure!
My Papa gave that to me!
Papa?
Isn’t he just your stepdad?
It's the same thing.
He has been a father to me.
He wanted to bring me
and Mama to Saudi with him.
Chitchat—
additional twenty percent on the bill.
You just keep piling it on,
don’t you!
Where do you spend the money
from your gigs, anyway?
What else is your pay for?
But to treat yourself with!
Good food, little getaways,
and of course
for my drinking sprees!
Sometimes
I send it to my ex-wife.
Ex? You have an ex-wife?
It's all in the past.
Where are we going again?
We’re going to ask for help
from my smartest friend.
You have a friend?
So far I’ve only seen you
rack up enemies.
Yes, I do.
Just the one, in fact.
Really?
What happened to the others?
I pushed them off this jeep
while I'm driving.
I thought we were looking for Mama.
Just relax.
Hickeytown Hotel
Why are we here?
Didn’t I tell you
I had to see my friend.
Here? For real?
That’s what I said.
Again, here?
Are we doing this
over and over?
He hides out here.
Besides, we need a break.
We need to recharge.
But, here?
Really?
Don’t worry,
I won’t make moves on you.
May I help you?
Good evening.
Good evening, sir.
Five hours?
Okay, sir. Let me check.
Sir, we only have
the executive room.
That would be 599 pesos.
Okay.
Hey, this goes
to your bill again, alright?
Here you go.
Room 312 Executive room.
Okay, thank you.
Sir, by the way,
complimentary milk tea.
Just take them.
We’ll need those later.
Great, thank you.
Bye.
Enjoy, Mother!
Such a cutie you’ve got there.
Winner!
Of course.
Mang Jose and Tope are here.
Who are we visiting here, Mang Jose?
You haven’t answered me that yet.
Don’t worry.
Me and this one are tight.
Marcelo.
Jose?!
You shameless jerk!
What do you need now?
It’s an emergency.
Emergency!
You show up
when you need something!
And who’s that?
I'm Tope. Tope.
You’re Tina’s son?
You know my mother?
Of course!
I stood as godfather--
Never mind.
Come in! Come in!
Let's go.
Come in!
A lot of people have tried this.
I drink it everyday.
Hold on, let me examine it.
Are you also a superhero?
No. Just helping out.
So you also bill people?
Of course not.
I'm just helping.
Marcelo,
we need your intelligence.
Yes. Because he hasn’t got it.
Milk tea.
Based on what I see,
this milk tea has an entirely
different composition.
It contains a foreign organism,
which reacts in perfect balance
with the milk tea!
And did you know that milk tea
originated in Taiwan,
but no one knows
who thought of mixing and when--
Cut it out.
We see your point.
So who’s going to try this?
I’ll drink.
Marcelo, Tope.
If something happens to me,
the rest is up to you.
I don't feel any--
Mang Jose?
Seems okay to me--
Mang Jose.
What are we gonna do?
What's that? Wait!
Based on what happened
to you and your mom.
I conclude that this milk tea
has adverse effects
only on superheroes.
Hold on.
Are you saying
my mom is a superhero?
Why?
Didn’t you know?
Marcelo!
How will the effects wear off?
The only way the effects
of the milk tea could go away
is for you to throw up.
Like I did a while ago.
You go now! Scram!
You’ll blow my cover!
What are we going to do,
Mang Jose?
I said, go now!
You wussy little prick.
Tope,
hit me.
On the head?! Really?!
You said, "The more you get hurt,
the stronger your comeback" right?!
More hits.
Wait.
Just a little more!
- Power at twenty percent.
- More.
That's good enough.
Armor ready.
- Rock and roll!
- Combat systems activated.
Come in!
Hey, watch it!
We've just had two minutes!
Mang Jose, Mang Jose!
- Excuse me, sir.
- Yeah, that’s right.
- Sorry, excuse us.
- Power at fifty percent.
Power at sixty percent.
Group study?!
Come on, Gen Zs!
Wait, wait!
Do that later.
Let's go!
I think you just gave
the oldies a good time, idiot!
You're old enough
to call them sister.
We know, Lord, that you will open
all the doors in our lives.
Amen?
Classic moves!
Tope!
Mang Jose, duck!
That was close!
Tope.
Mang Jose?
You go ahead.
Go!
Boss. One-hit Combo
now ready.
Low power.
Low power.
Tope!
Mang Jose!
What's up?
Nothin’ goin’?
Low power.
Low power.
Just some bitch slappin’?
Is that it?
This is how you whip it, bitch!
Ouchie?!
Low on calcium, sweetie?
You make great dumbbells!
- Ouch!
- Impact not detected.
It’s starting to hurt.
Boss, direct contact
from enemy required.
I get it, I get it!
It’s not that easy, you know?
Scarf attack!
Pashmina!
Pashneya slap!
Schlap!
Impact receptors missed.
This bitch!
Impact not counted.
It tickles.
Armor malfunction.
Reset required.
Power at twenty percent.
Thought you could get
an energy freebie, huh!
Breakdance!
Mang Jose.
I think...
my scarf suits you!
Let’s go, hurry!
What a pity!
You’re a hottie!
Let’s go, hurry!
Lance.
Let me guess.
Mang Jose
has escaped again?
Even the young cutie pie,
mamsh.
The boy?
The boy got away?
From you?
Can’t we just let them be?
All the heroes are now our Turbo Rats!
There are no more heroes!
Aren’t we done
with Phase one?
On with Phase two, then!
Let’s conquer
the whole of the Philippines!
The UN!
The rest of the world.
Isn’t that what you wanted?
Yes! Yes!
That’s exactly what I want!
But I want more!
And I can’t have more,
if Mang Jose doesn’t fall
into our hands.
Who is that
Mang Jose anyway?
He has nothing
on the other superheroes!
2005.
My child was on her last breath.
Crying.
Because of her heart disease.
Here comes Oprah again.
Come on, Auntie.
My child died of disease.
- She died.
- Super talk show.
Because we didn’t have the money
to have her treated.
Mamsh, we were
poor things then!
We didn't even have
our suits and powers!
Did you forget?
You wouldn’t understand
how painful it is for a mother
to lose her child
because of poverty.
I lost all happiness.
Because of money.
everyone else
had the upper hand.
- Yeah, right. Equality.
- Because of money,
Everyone's equal?!
- Then, what?!
- I lost everything,
everyone had one over me.
Everyone who had money
edged me out.
What do you think, Lance?
Ouch!
Mommy!
Kill yourself, Lance.
We can stop by and rest here.
Won’t they catch up with us here?
I don’t think so.
They’re gone.
Besides,
I badly need to pee.
No one really knows
where Mother King came from.
Daaamn?
Dayyym? What’s that?
So you superheroes were
wiped out by Mother King,
not by humankind, right?
I think you now know too much.
Mama told me
that bedtime story over and over.
Every night she would
tell it to me without fail,
so I know all about those things.
Can you imagine?
She’s been a superhero
all this time.
She never told me.
She was right
to keep it from you.
It was for your own good,
for your own safety.
It just makes me wonder
if my deadbeat father
was also a superhero.
Because if he were…
What if he were one?
That makes him an asshole.
This couldn’t have happened
to Mama and I.
He would be there
to protect us.
You know what, kid?
You need to learn
self-defense.
I saw you fight back there.
You have it in you!
But you look like
you need some practice.
You tend to go
headlong into it.
Mama hates it
when I get into fights, though.
Fighting is different
from self-defense.
You have a point.
Let’s do this.
I told you to relax.
♪ When the night comes on, ♪
♪ he arrives, bringing doom ♪
Breathe in through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
Mang Jose.
I need to fart.
♪ He’s fighting my fight for me! ♪
Yuck!
♪ Mang Jose. ♪
♪ The superhero you can rent ♪
So, if you know my mom,
is it possible that we’ve already met?
You were really young
when I left her.
What did you say?
Nothing,
I said that’ll do.
Ah. That'll do.
Okay.
The best offense is defense.
Your power could come from an emotional,
not a physical core.
Breathe in through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
When you gain control of yourself,
you’re in control of the situation.

You're slowing down, old man.
Nice, nice.

Lead me to Mother King!
Mang Jose,
can I ask you something?
but don't get offended.
I just don’t get you.
Why do you always
ask for payment?
My wife had a delicate pregnancy.
All I knew
was to be Mang Jose.
I thought
it wouldn’t be so bad
to charge for my services.
I didn't tell your mom--
my ex-wife.
She was furious when she found out,
and threw me out.
Just about right.
To be real, superheroes
aren’t supposed to be…
paid?
Yeah?
Mang Jose,
does your child know you?
No, sadly.
Why don’t you
introduce yourself?
He’s better off
not knowing me.
I worry he might
take after me.
The way I see it,
it was a good thing Mama
got a boyfriend because
even if he’s always abroad,
at least I have
a father figure somehow.
Son?
Huh?
Son of a...
You better
take it easy with that.
I bet your ex-wife
threw you out
because of your drinking as well.
Would I make
a good father to you?
Huh?
I mean, let’s just say
Would you find me okay as a father?
I don't know.
But I find you okay as a comedian!
I bet you’re just hungry.
Probably.
Alright, I got this.
Damn, you were
so close to saying it!
Would you like anything, sir?
Can I get…
How do I say this?
Tope,
try not to faint.
I am your father.
No, it has to be cool.
Yo son, who’s yo daddy?
Lame.
Let’s do Fast Talk!
Tina, the nagging superhero,
here’s your question.
Coffee or tea?
Peace Tea.
Boyfriend or husband?
Peace Tea.
Superhero or supervillain?
Peace Tea.
No, it needs to be
easy for him to understand.
Luke, I am your father.
Peace Tea,
the answer to everything.
Peace Tea.
Superior in taste. For all.
Tope!
For all.
Peace Tea.
The answer to everything.
Peace Tea.
Superior in taste. For all.
Peace Tea.
Tope.
Breathe in through the nose,
exhale through the mouth.
What happened?
Just relax.
Did that blast come from me?
Wait, why are we going back?
I’m taking you home.
I’m finishing this mission.
Hold up.
Are we discussing this again?
Didn’t we agree
that we’re finding Mama?
Why are you suddenly
taking me home again?
Didn’t you see?
You can’t control
your powers yet.
Get over yourself!
My powers are physical.
Yours are emotional.
We’re both going
to end up in trouble.
I have powers now!
I can really save Mama!
You’ve seen what
they did to her on TV, right?!
And now you’re telling me
to step back?!
You’re taking me home
after everything we’ve been through?
What are you,
some sort of coward?!
You really are out of it, aren’t you!
Don’t you get it?
I don’t want you
to be in danger!
What the hell are you talking about?
Where is all this coming from?
I don’t care!
I’m paying you!
Isn’t that what matters to you?!
That’s all you ever think about!
Who are you to tell me what to do,
you’re not my father!
Yes, I am!
Shit.
Tope, sorry.
I’ve wanted
to tell you for so long
but I didn’t know how.
Your mom,
I’m trying
to protect you both.
Superheroes are in danger.
Tope, I want you
to understand.
Tope!
I wanted to tell you.
But I couldn't find the right timing!
Timing?
Well, nice timing,
congratulations!
Pa?
Screw you.
Son of a bitch,
watch your mouth!
You should be thankful
I'm owning up to it!
I didn’t have to!
It's not like I would've
gotten anything out of you!
And what could I have
gotten out of it, too?
I got nothing from you
my whole life!
Don’t forget,
I’m a superhero.
Bravo! Such a superhero!
Saving countless lives!
But you can’t even show your face
to your own son!
That’s your mother’s fault!
My mother?
Mama has been there all along!
Mama was there
when I was looking for you!
She was there
on my graduation day!
She was there when I came home
beaten to a pulp!
Mama was there
when I was circumcised!
Really?!
You're circumcised?!
You really are an asshole.
I don’t need you.
Don’t you dare
turn your back--
This?
This is what you live for, right?
You're paid.
Don’t show your face
to me again
or I might end up billing you
for all those years.
Freakin’ empty.
Ma?
Ma!
Charlemagne?
Charlemagne?
Mang Jose.
Mother King!
Tina and Tope
are asking about you.
You Motherfuc... King!
I'm indeed Mother King.
I’ll have you fetched.
Don't run away,
if you want to see your family alive.
I’ll wait here.
Okay!
You guys are already here?
You're fast.
Did you use Waze?
Oh my gosh.
I haven’t hooked
this one yet.
He’s not easy to convert
into a Turbo Rat.
Strong.
Hi.
Who are you?
Mother King.
Mother King yourself.
Are you calling me names?
Well, you started it.
When? When?
Ma?
Ma?
Where’s Ma?!
Ma?
Ma!
Oh, she's right here.
Your mom is now a Turbo Rat.
She's one of my Kwans now.
Where's Mother King!
What's that smell?
It stinks here!
Mother King!
Oh. Finally,
you're here!
You gave me the hardest time
among all superheroes.
What do you
have against me?!
Why are you
doing this to me?
Have you forgotten?
How easily you forget!
What a pity.
What a pity.
Hold it.
I think I know your face.
I remember!
You were my client!
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Cut it out!
This is turning into a musical!
Let’s clear things up,
shall we?
Did we ever hook up?
Of course not!
You think
you’re hot stuff?
You’re nothing to me.
Yuck! I won’t hit that.
Your nose is too big.
Why you little Chucky doll
of a Mother King!
Tope!
Kill Mang Jose.
Tope!
Mang Jose. Get out of here!
Mother King! Please stop!
Kill the father who abandoned you.
Who wanted nothing else
but to be a superhero!
Kill your deadbeat father.
You animal!
Tope! Control.
Breathe in through the nose,
exhale through the mouth.
Tope.

Mang Jose!
My armor is destroyed.
I'm sorry, Mang Jose.
I didn't mean it.
I can’t believe it!
Is that all it takes?
You’ll easily forgive
your good for nothing father?
Tope.
Mother King!
Won’t you ever stop?
Not as long as
you worship money!
Why? Who should I
be worshipping?
You?!
I'm a better option
than you.
You’re worth nothing.
All you know
is to be a superhero!
People won’t need superheroes
if there weren’t monsters like you.
Impact not detected.
Sorry!

Mang Jose. I haven't paid yet.
Wake up!
Mang Jose.
I don’t have change.
Stop it, this is serious.
Come on!
Kid.
For the hit on my back.
Additional 100,000 pesos.
Seriously!
What do I do?!
Control.
Don’t forget
what I taught you.
Alright.
Breathe in through the nose...
Are you one of Jose’s relatives?
He helped me.
He saved my Pussy.
My pet cat nearly
got hit by a car.
If not for him,
my Pussy will be gone.
Sorry!
Your looks have not faded,
Mang Jose!
Sorry about that.
Grandma’s a bit forgetful.
When she had gone missing,
Mang Jose helped us.
Mang Jose came to the rescue
when our entire village caught fire.
The whole village
send their condolences.
Thank you to all of you.
For grieving with us.
We’re sorry we don’t have biscuits
or coffee to offer you.
Don’t worry about that, son.
We owe your father our debt
of gratitude.
We’re here to accompany you
in your grief.
We are not leaving.
There, it's ringing.
What does it say?
Emman Dela Cruz.
Emman Dela Cruz - 2000?
I’ll be going ahead.
Again, my condolences. God bless.
Was that Emman Dela Cruz?
Might be him.
Okay, we can tear that out.
There’s another one.
What name does it say?
Geo Morales.
A peso?
- My condolences.
- Even you, Grandma?
So who’s staying?
I though it's debts of gratitude
that they have.
Instead, what they have
are debts literally.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
The sweetest fruit is always bought
by the first paycheck, bro!
Just as promised.
I told you, as soon as I land a job--
Congrats!
Thank you.
You were saying?
You didn’t have to take my video.
I’m true to my word!
Of course I needed proof!
Hey!
You again?
Yes, it's me again.
You always block our way.
The best offense…
is defense.
Breathe in through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
When you gain control of yourself,
you’re in control of the situation.
Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Cheers!
Hello?
Yes, I know you, Ma’am.
Oops, Sir, sorry.
Alright, I am on way.
No,
this is free.
See you then.
Guys, you go drink without me
because I have to go.
Work.
Okay, then! Bye!
Hey, you have to pay!
Hey, Tope!
You have to pay!
Leave it to me!
I’ll make a deposit!
Mudrakels, calling.
Patching through.
Ma!
Tope, are you
on your way home?
I might be late.
I just have an emergency.
Don’t forget
to buy my ginger tea!
I need it for my voice!
Of course.
And the eggs!
For our custards!
Of course.
Going now. Bye, Ma!
Love you!
Take care, son!
Love you, too!
Okay.
Should I start the meter, boss?
No need.
If you really have
nothing to pay.
You can call me.
I'll do it!
But you're just an extra.
I'm a manager.
And a hero as well.
Right. Extra.
Yeah. I'm an Extra...
...Ekstranghero.
