Created by writer Carl E. Bayonito and artist Lando Inolino, Botak (an inversion of the Tagalog word takbo which means "run") had a brief, er, run in the early issues of Kidlat Super Heroes Komiks.
The godson of Mercury himself, Nonong derives superhuman speed from the winged sandals of his Olympian Godfather. In this tale from KSH#2 (June 28, 1993), Botak chases after a Palos wannabe.
