VR Man

Basics

VR-Man is arguably the most popular superhero that has ever been exported from the island nation of Singapore. Originally portrayed to the public as a television show, the program was cancelled after what was orginally called "low viewership" and "poor ratings".

Absolute Facts, however, has finally unravelled all the intrigue surrounding the much sought-after VR-Man.

History

As previously-mentioned, VR-Man was originally believed to be a fictional superhero, similar to Superman, Jubilee and Chuck Norris. However, upon the termination of his show, sighting and reports of suspicious VR-activity has given rise to a multitude of rumours and an island-wide manhunt for the elusive antihero.

Powers and Abilities

While skeptics have always played down VR-Man's true crime-fighting abilities as laughable at best, no one has ever witnessed his true potential or even the full force of his current ability.

Others argue that such incidents have actually happened several times in the past, though no one has ever lived to tell the tale.

Many do believe, however, that the much-hyped safety of Singapore as a country is very much to do with the as yet unknown exploits of the hero, and his deeds are largely covered-up by the Singaporean media, which is very strictly regulated by the Singaporean government.

Linked Incidents

To date, several incidents in Singaporean history have been attributed to the actions of VR Man by reknown experts in the fields of Sociology, Psychology, Computing and Karate.

Singapore Soccer: With Singapore lifting the ASEAN Nations Cup (Tiger Cup) twice as huge underdogs, stop-motion cameras have shown that external, supernatural and supersonic forces have played a major role in helping the team emerge champions. This unknown force is also rumoured to be the reason why the Thai team appeared to attempt to walk off the pitch in protest in 2007. While many believed it was due to a penalty decision, it was actually due to their players being herded by an invisible entity. It is also believed, however, that Singapore's GOAL 2010 project is beyond even the abilities of VR Man.

Terrorism & Crime: As mentioned earlier, it is also widely-believed that VR-Man works alongside the Singapore Police Force, CNB, NKF and Singapore Armed Forces to attempt to curb terror, crime and corruption.

Public Transport Systems: Singapore boasts one of the world's best public transport systems, with their Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) system being touted as safe, efficient and reliable above all. After decades of reseach by Absolute Facts, we can safely say that VR Man is also solely responsible for much of this.

Controversy

While VR Man is believed to be the driving force behind the prosperity of Singapore as a nation, many remain unimpressed and have called him a vigilante and that he has his own agendas.

Certain studies have even shown that editions of the Singaporean National Anthem, when spliced with certain Justin Timberlake songs and played backwards under an ultraviolet light will yield messages , some of which have been labelled the VR Prophecies.

Future

Not much is known of this mysterious figure, though there are plans to produce a movie titled VR for VR Man, directed by Steven Spielberg and with Jessica Alba (who filmed a commercial for Tiger Beer) as a main character, possibly VR Chick.
