Venezuela has its very own caped superhero. He wears a red construction helmet and his weapon is his iron fist.

Called "Super-Bigote", he is created in the image of President Nicolas Maduro.Super-Bigote is Spanish for Super-Moustache, an allusion to the famous bushy lip growth the cartoon character shares with Maduro, and from where he draws the power that makes him "indestructible".
