Captain Barbell is a 2011 superhero Philippine drama adapted from Mars Ravelo's fictional superhero of the same name; directed by Dominic Zapata and developed by Jake Tordesillas. It is the second series based on the graphic novels by Mars Ravelo. It stars Richard Gutierrez, who reprises the role of the title role and its alter-ego Enteng, after playing him in the 2006 series. The show premiered on March 28, 2011. The show premiered on GMA Pinoy TV on March 30, 2011, two days after its original premiere. The show is set to end on July 29, 2011 to be replaced by Time of My Life.

As the story continues... Teng (Richard Gutierrez) and his wife Leah (Rhian Ramos) settling down in the city. But their simple life takes a dark turn when the latter is killed and becomes a heart donor to an undisclosed recipient.

In the spirit of true heroism, Captain Barbell fights through his sorrow and continues his quest for peace and order. He meets his strongest nemesis in Nero (Christopher de Leon), an evil genius, who became rich through his malevolent ways. Teng, on the other hand, clashes with Gregor (TJ Trinidad), whose father owns the tenement where Teng lives.

Meanwhile, during a freak storm formed by Nero, Captain Barbell helps a woman give birth in the tenement. The woman soon dies thus leaving Teng with the responsibility of taking care of the child, whom Teng names Leah (named after his deceased wife) or Lelay (Jillian Ward). At the same time, a strong lightning strikes Teng’s barbell, which in turn spreads unique superpowers among some of the tenants.
