VR Man was a 13-episode live-action Singaporean superhero drama, aired in 1998. It was one of the first few English language dramas produced by MediaCorp, while VR Man was touted as "Singapore's first TV superhero". Cast and characters James Lye - Alex Foo / VR Man VR Man, as the name suggests, has the ability to project virtual reality objects and 'solidify' them for a period of time, a power which is similar to that of the Green Lantern. VR Man calls these his "Virping" powers (Virtual Reality Projection), and these powers are limited by only his own imagination. Besides this primary ability, he also possess superhuman strength, durability, and speed: He can lift objects as heavy as a van, is impervious to most conventional firearms, and he can move at the speed of sound. He is also able to shoot neon-coloured lasers that incapacitate his targets. With the exception of Virping, which is bestowed by Click Click Man's procedure, all of his powers come from activating the Solidifier that he wears on his belt. In some episodes, he gains new powers such as invisibility and telekinesis without explanation. VR Man's sole weakness is a strobe light flashing at a particular speed. When exposed to it, his powers are deactivated, he changes back to Alex (which indicates that the VR Man costume is created through Virping, rather than an actual costume) and loses consciousness until the light is switched off. Although this weakness was accidentally discovered by Kristal's stalker, none of the other villains know about it except Bossman, therefore it is not exploited until the second half of the series. Lisa Ang - Bee Bee Michelle Goh - Kristal Kong Mark Richmond - Peter Chan / Click Click Man Plot VR Man is the alter ego of computer engineer Alex Foo (James Lye). After a nearly fatal accident, Alex discovers that he has acquired superhuman powers which he later calls 'Virping'---virtual reality projection. His superhero alias 'VR Man' is coined (rather hastily) in Episode 2, after he saves his love interest Kristal Kong (Michelle Goh). His sidekick is Bee Bee (Lisa Ang), Alex's friend of fifteen years, who is secretly in love with him. The antagonist of the show is the bio-genetic engineer Peter Chan/Click Click Man (Mark Richmond), whom Alex suspects is responsible for him acquiring superhuman powers in the first place. In fact Click Click Man is
