After more than eight months of conquering the hearts of the Filipino viewers and soaring high on television, Pinoy superhero Captain Barbell will bid farewell this January as the show airs its final episode on January 12 with astounding twists and revelations.
Captain Barbell, portrayed by Richard Gutierrez, will end this week with breathtaking action scenes and tremendous clash between good and evil that will certainly put viewers on the edge of their seats up to the last minute.
Last year, the death of Captain B (Paolo Bediones) led Mrs. B (Angel Aquino) and Boris (JC De Vera) to use the time machine to go to the future where Captain B is alive. When they found him, the three decided to meet Teng, the alter-ego of Captain Barbell, at the time when the young lad has not yet discovered the barbell.
The Barbell family then recounted to Teng the journey and adventures of Captain Barbell including his enemies, the death of his loved ones, and even the women of his life—Leah (Rhian Ramos) and Kit (Camille Prats). They even warned Captain Barbell regarding the plan of the superhero's most influential enemy—the General (Richard Gomez)—to get the barbell before Teng finds it or kill Captain Barbell using all his influence and power.
Now that Teng is keeping the powerful breast plate and with all the information revealed to him, will Captain Barbell be able to change destiny or will destiny have its own way of putting things back into its normal state?
More so, will Captain Barbell be facing a new set of enemies or will he encounter the same opponents he defeated in the future? How will he cease the evil schemes of the General? What is the role of Levi in his life—best friend or worst foe?
And who will be the ultimate winner of Teng's heart? Will it be Teng's childhood sweetheart Leah or his female best friend Kit? Finally, will Captain Barbell find out the dark secret that his mother has been keeping from him?
All answers to these questions will be unveiled in the action-packed final episode of Captain Barbell during the primetime Telebabad block, right after 24 Oras on GMA-7.
