And no,we're not talking about that annoying TV HOST/JUDGE/COMEDIAN? on ABS!
We're talking about BOMBAS...KAPTAIN BOMBAS that is!
Yehesss..today's character profile will center on SILENT SANCTUM MANGA'S very own
shell-headed superhero.Kaptain Bomba or KB.First appeared on SILENT SANCTUM MANGA DOS
pg.35,2007
Designed and created by DARK CHAPEL after attending U.P.'s PASKO NG KOMIKS,
A small symposium/gathering/forum of veteran and aspiring artistses.
It is at Claro M. Recto Hall, UP Faculty Center where Dark Chapel would learn the
importance of creating superhero type characters and the social and financial
benefits involved with it later on.

| LAMEEEE! |
On an earlier sketch of Kaptain Bomba, he was slated to appear as a pun of JAMES BOND (james bomb!Yes, pretty lame,WE KNOW!)
 |
| It's not me,it's YOU...YOUTUBE! |
The idea was scrapped as soon as THIS more updated sketch came out.
A more "HEROIC" version of the Kaptain would later surface but the design was a little
bit too dark for a hero and the Kaptain looked more like a villain at this point in time.
KAPTAIN BOMBA or ANTONIO STORK was a clumsy company messenger. A job in which he would get fired and walk the walk of shame on his way home. Along the lines, his bad luck would be at an all time high when he would get smashed by a carrening meteor. A meteor containing a slab of stone.The stone that would later turn him from the wimpy messenger to the extremely buff hero KAPTAIN BOMBA. On a constant basis the Kaptain was the prime example of heroism in STAR CITY as he is in constant battles with law offenders and the casual lizard monsters and various villainous plots by the ever scheming DR. AKARI.
KAPTAIN BOMBA was (of course) heavily inspired by MARVEL's very own THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN.
And Dark Chapel's version was a tribute to the JACK "THE KING" KIRBY's cartoon version of
IRON MAN and parody theathrics by DEXTER'S LAB'S : THE JUSTICE FRIENDS.
And since the movie version of the said comics adaptation was released within the same year.
the poor Kaptain's original color scheme(RED+YELLOW=IRON MAN-ish colors) was changed in order
to distance itself and to lessen the cause of unessecarry confusion with the two characters.

went from being gray or for a lack of a better color scheme,it was left white.Chapel would later on opted for a more SPIDERMAN-ish color but the said color combination was a little too dark for the
character. A more CAPTAIN PLANET-ey color theory was put into works and the rest shall we say was
HISTORY.

The Kaptain Bomba's series would later on come out alternately with THE MISSEDADVENTURES
OF BUNNY-PON(or just BUNNY-PON).The second issue would later on appear on
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA KWATRO
pg.30,2009
Now a new villian was introduced.
Still within the confines of spoofing famous characters.Two other SPIDER-MAN
villians would be put in to play.
MYSTERIO
& THE LIZARD
Kaptain Bomba would have a short appearance on SILENT SANCTUM MANGA 5's SUPPLEMENT ISSUE.Wherein he could be seen singing with PHIL VIRGIN.This marks as the very first time
Kaptain Bomba would appear in a scene other than his series and in an appearance in "the king"'s signature style.
pg.3,2009
Kaptain Bomba would later on appear on the cover of SILENT SANCTUM MANGA 5.5 alongside with
two other characters(ONI NADEGIRI & BUNNY-PON) or more cleverly known as TEAM CHAPEL.
Where in a more humorous and less gallant version of the Kaptain was showcased.
pg5,2010
Within the line of superhero-dom, another superhero was introduced within the said issue. It would be none other than the very famous, ANGRY MAN by "the king" Kaptain Bomba would once again appear(on the cover and on his series) of SILENT
SANCTUM MANGA SAIS.
Silent Sanctum Manga's latest offering.Where major changes would be made since this marked
as the very first issue that the kaptain bomba series would appear in 2 pages as to the
standardized one pagers as set in kaptain's earlier komiks.Here we see the epic battle
between a mutated PROF.MOLDEX and KAPTAIN BOMBA.A series so big it had to be seperated onto
two parts.Part 2 would come out on SILENT SANCTUM MANGA OTSO.
Kaptain Bomba would later on appear on numerous pixel drawings.
And enjoy his stay on the world wide web.
Kaptain Bomba would later on be RE-INVENTED,RE-PAINTED and RE-MODELED.
Plenty more titles are in the works and alternate universes are said to surface
within the year. Among the titles on the works are
 |
| My Bomba Senses Are Tengaling! |
KAPTAIN BOMBA : 2099
BOMBA OF THE FUTURE
It truly has it's benefit being HARD HEADED,well for starters,
you get to star in your own komik book.
Act all foolish and stuff,and do a collaboration with the man "FREELY ABRIGO"
 |
| It's a HIF-HOF rap battle,yo! |
Life certainly has been good for the KAPTAIN.And we are bound to see more
of him in the weeks and months to come.
So raise those shell heads and fire away.
!!!EXCELSIORZ!!!
nice post. now i know how the kaptain was created. i would have liked the james bomb incarnation. it would've been like a tintin-like theme.
