Flavio Panday

"Ah! So that guy's Panday. Flavio Panday. Well, this guy's a good blacksmith to me I think. Now this guy wanted to destroy these Coalition of the Red Star bastards with further support."

Flavio Panday is a fictional Philippine comics character created by writer Carlo J. Caparas and artist Steve Gan. His adventures were serialized in the series Ang Panday in Filipino Komiks in the 1970s. The character took his place in Philippine pop culture when the comics were adapted to film, starring Fernando Poe Jr. as Flavio and Max Alvarado as his archenemy Lizardo. The film spawned three direct sequels as well as other more loosely connected films.
