Lastikman is a Filipino action/drama/comedy fantaserye based on Mars Ravelo's comic book character of the same name, featured in Mango Comics. The series stars Vhong Navarro as Lastikman and Iya Villania as his love interest, Yellena. The character has also appeared in comics and a movie adaptation.
Lastikman is a superhero who possesses the ability to stretch and distort his body, and takes his alias from the word "". He is a half-human/half-alien named "Eskappar" from an extragalactic planet, though he was named Miguel when he came to Earth. Lastikman spends much of the series fighting against monsters created by Agaddon, a Harraian scientist, while searching for his mother, Ruth.
While living on Earth, Miguel lives with his foster family, Caloy, Dolores, and Madonna. He also becomes friends with Chikoy and Sandy, and falls in love with Yellena. Later on, he discovers his powers of elasticity, and becomes "Lastikman". Lastikman spends much of the series fighting against Jared Evilone's monsters, but eventually the Harraian Medallion he wears reveals that Cynthia Evilone is in fact his mother, Ruth.
Amon Labao, the matriarch of the planet Igbao in the galaxy Harraio, orders her subjects to conduct extensive experiments upon humans, their first being the abducted Ruth Abelgas. However, one scientist, Irroian, aids in her escape, and the pair fall in love, leading to Ruth giving birth to Eskappar.
When the Council determines that Ruth must be executed, Irroian seeks the help of his friend Agaddon in returning her to Earth, but a Council spy named Maraam learns that Ruth is with Irroian and arrests him. Meanwhile, Agaddon escapes with Ruth to Earth, and is determined by the Council to be the "actual" traitor.
Once released, Irroian continues to raise Eskappar in Harraio, but because Eskappar assumes human form, Irroian eventually attempts to escape with him to Earth for fear for his son's life. Irroian is shot by Maraam's guards during the attempt, but he manages to send Eskappar to Earth with Butao, a robot containing a recording of Irroian with instructions for Eskappar to search for Ruth.
