Sabahan deejay, emcee and cosplayer Yohan Charles Jayasuriya, 41, is a big fan of Marvel superhero Iron Man. And recently, he demonstrated his own human power by scaling Mount Kinabalu clad in an Iron Man cosplay suit.

Jayasuriya was one of the 13 climbers who signed up for Coalition Duchenne's 10th Annual Expedition Mt Kinabalu on July 24. The climb up the highest mountain in South-East Asia aimed to raise awareness and funding for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a muscle-wasting disease.
