So I saw ‘Black Panther’ in an ‘Avengers’ cartoon and thought, “Hmmm there’s a black superhero so how about an Asian superhero? No wait, how about a local superhero (from my country Brunei) ?!!”

So I took Captain America’s basic design and modified it with our flag colours. And I also made a Shield just like Cap America. Originally, I used Yellow but then I thought it would look cooler if I used a more Orange-ish/Gold-ish colour. I don’t know about you but the costume and the shield have that classic Pelita Brunei feel to it :-D

His powers? Super strength (think of him as a modern day Awang Semaun, the Hercules-like local folklore hero).

Ok so here’s a story I quickly made off the top of my head:

He was an ordinary Bruneian living an ordinary life. One day, while he was fishing, he caught a mysterious Ikan Sumpit-Sumpit (Archer Fish) and ate it. Just like the legend of Awang Semaun, he gained super strength ability. He decided to become a superhero to fight crime and help the weak. However, his newfound fame got into his head which made him arrogant and snobbish (Ambung dan kebesaran). He may have found more fans but he lost sight of the ones that matters more; his family and close friends.

Now faced with a powerful and deadly cunning enemy that intends to use his arrogance against him, our Bruneian superhero must get back to his senses and listen to the wise words of his late father (who was a fisherman and taught him how to fish among other things) in order to truly become the great hero he was meant to be.

And just like that, I’ve managed to mash up Spiderman, Batman and Superman story mix with local Bruneian touches. I have more ideas to the story (eg. the villain, the whole story arc, the ending, etc) but I’m saving that for much later on :-P

What do you think?

UPDATE:

A friend took the idea and made his own version of it :-P
