the one who gave Alex his powers via an experimental procedure that killed all of its previous test subjects, but the project is shut down when Click Click Man is unable to prove that one of his subjects survived. Most of VR Man's powers come from a device called the Solidifier which belongs to the organization that Click Click Man worked for. When his (unnamed) employer ended the project, a disgruntled Click Click Man stole the device from his laboratory and gave it to Alex for safekeeping, thinking that Alex will not figure out what it is. Afterwards, Click Click Man wants revenge on his employer and tries to take the Solidifier from Alex, at one point performing the same procedure on himself to obtain the same powers as VR Man. In the first half of the series, Alex faces a different villain in each episode, ranging from robbers to terrorists to Kristal's stalker, while thwarting Click Click Man's attempts to recover the Solidifier. In the second half, VR Man encounters Click Click Man's former employer (who is never referred to by name; in the credits, he is known as "Bossman"). Having gained tremendous popularity as a superhero, VR Man appears on television more often and this allows Bossman and his henchmen to find him, eventually discovering his true identity. Like Click Click Man, Bossman's goal is to take the Solidifier from VR Man. Episodes 1. Fall into grace 2. A hero’s burden 3. Death by drinking 4. Hide and seek 5. Mother of mine 6. Showdown 7.

Destroy VR Man Reception and legacy The Business Times criticised the show for failing "to exploit its full comic book potential because it is too busy taking its characters seriously", noting that VR Man is "hindered by (its) script". Despite this, the show rated higher in viewership than some episodes of The X-Files. A "cringeworthy" guilty pleasure, the "camp" VR Man is frequently remembered as one of the "worst", “memorably bad” and inadvertently "funniest show(s) on Singapore TV". The Noose has spoofed the show, while a 2006 episode of Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd was named after it. In February 2015, VR Man made a comeback cameo appearance in the animation TV series Heartland Hubby.
