DRESS maker Herbert Chavez has transformed himself from scrawny to superman - thanks to 13 surgeries to make him look like the comic book hero. The 35-year-old from Calamba City, Philippines, has had nose jobs, skin whitening, jaw realignment and even bum implants to become a real-life Clarke Kent. Herbert regularly takes to the streets around his home dressed in full Superman costume, with his hair gelled in distinctive fashion, teaching kids good morals while also brightening their days.
