During emergencies, Lance assumes another personality as Kapitan Boom (Jon Avila), the superhero dedicated to fighting the forces of evil.
Lance continues his normal life as a college student until he falls in love with a classmate, Melody (Maja Salvador). He struggles with his self-esteem issues to win her heart, but Melody already has her eyes set on Kapitan Boom. Melody eventually accepts Lance as a friend, but he may not be able to tell her that he is Kapitan Boom.
Synopsis
Kapitan Boom was born when young Lance (Jay-R Siaboc) accidentally hit his father’s transmitter, leading to an explosion in which he unexpectedly acquired his superpowers. It was only when he became an adult that he was able to fully use his skills through his superhero persona, Kapitan Boom (Jon Avila).
Melody finds out that Kapitan Boom has earplugs in his pouch to put in his ears and a scar on his face while she was watching Kapitan Boom on TV. It turned out Kapitan Boom is actually Lance. Melody realized that Lance and Kapitan Boom are one and the same person after looking for these signs.
