What if you had the means and could look like your favorite superhero? Would you jump at the opportunity? This was the dilemma for Herbert Chavez, whom loved Superman so much that he decided to cough up the money to look just like him.

Herbert had work done to his chin, nose, lips, eyes, skin, thighs, and probably other things that we just don't see. The question is, what drives someone to go to this extreme?

The question goes out to all of you CBMers. Would you ever attempt something like this and just how far should someone take their love of the hobby? Comment in the usual place.













Here is a link to the video. It is not in English though, but you do get to see "Superman" in live action...

I already have my doctor fate gear in tow for Halloween

... what a sad chap that is, excellent observation btw ^^^

If you're gonna really go for it might as well go for the Christopher Reeve look, hell even Cavill. This dude opted to go for the one shot Routh?

I would never do anything this drastic, but I've let my hair grown out and beard grown out to kinda resemble Tony Stark (Well more-so Tony Stark, except I have a full beard). My girlfriend thinks it makes me look a lot like him, and he's one of my favorite heros, so it's a win win right? lol

U wanna look like Routh? fine, I wouldeve gone with Reeve's or Welling, but did he have to get his oily hair too, man.

The amount of gel must have cost more then the plastic surgery.
