Boy God, the Filipino superhero

From io9: Boy God, the Filipino child superhero who makes Harry Potter look like a human bedpan

Hey reader, just what exactly did Harry Potter do? As far as I remember, he coasted on his own legend like an Olsen twin, let Hermione do all the hard thinking, and made out with Ron’s sister while Ronnie’s remedial warlock back was turned.

Who is Boy God? Why, he was only the star of the 1982 Filipino fantasy flick Roco, ang batang bato, which was released stateside as Boy God and in Australia as Stone Boy. Take a moment to watch the American trailer. Don’t try to figure out the movie’s plot (as your synapses will melt like fondue)…
