In El Man, the national superhero, García portrays Felipe De Las Aguas, a young cab driver from a humble background who works hard to support his mother, pay for his cab, and cover the mortgage on their home. Frustrated by the injustices he witnesses, he chooses to become a real-life superhero who, through effort, ingenuity, and a sense of justice, helps others using his superpower: faith.
"The Man is someone with only one power: faith. He is a person capable of believing, despite any adversity, that it is possible to change the course of events if we truly believe we can. He is a superhero, like many in Colombia, but he is someone who dared to fight against what was wrong, as everyone should," Bernardo García told the Colombian magazine Shock.
