After the success of the video game-inspired
Kick Fighter Komiks, its publisher
Infinity Publishing, Inc. attempted to capitalize on another popular trend of the time:
professional wrestling. The result was
Wrestle Warriors Komiks, which had a very brief run in 1993. One of its featured characters was
Kisig Pinoy ("Dashing Pinoy?"), who was based on wrestling superstar
"Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Created by writer
Geraldo Jumawan and artist
Louie A. Salvio, Pikoy was a frail, mentally-challenged young lad. He then encounters a mysterious old hermit who magically transforms him into the super-strong champion of justice,
Kisig Pinoy.
