Didn't they die?

uhh, it could've been worse, it could have been Mabuhay or Bayani

Lel, I was actually thinking of other team names they could've used. For some reason, my mind got stuck with Rizal.

And yeah, they died (because of a bomb blast lel). But then, they were 'resurrected' later because, as Tony Stark observed:

"Interesting thing about super heroes in the Philippines – the legacies are familial and date back centuries. The sons and daughters of --"

"-- these heroes will one day replace these heroes. They train for it their whole lives."

Sounds like our local artists have been feeding the writers tall tales

the name Triumph reminds of Triumph the insult comic dog

So... let me get this straight. Pulang Balahibo.

Di ko nga alam bakit andyan si St. George eh.

San Jorje? Dapat na lang San Miguel.

Mighty Mother's tough... um... Malakas na Nanay? Nanay Lakas? Inang Makapangyarihan? Ina mo!

I'm mentally calling her "Darna".

Anitun kinda passes, I guess if it's a name? Or were they aiming for Anito?

"Ika-unang Pala-away"

Anitun is a sky goddess daw in some places in the Philippines. It might make sense kasi, later series shows Thor attending the Triumph's --

Pulang Pakpak.

-- funeral. When Tony remarked na close pala sila ni Anitun, Thor said something about she's also related to the elements.

Translation: REDPAKS

Ahhh. Okay, that one gets a pass.

*later issues pala

Although I like the idea of the guy in the shorts being called "Basagulero Uno" in Tagalog.

Anitun is a weather goddess in the Visayas region.

Learn something new every day.

PS: Triumph makes me think of underwear D:

Hmm... if that's the case, maybe the names don't translate into Tagalog, but into some other dialect? Maybe they'd sound better that way?

That's it, Elea! They're SPONSORED by the Triumph underwear brand!

Anyone know how these names would sound like in Cebuano?

nods. That is likely.

I really can't respect 'em if their leader looking guy is called Balahibo.

mas maganda pa yana kung SO-EN medyo japaniz ang dating.

Being really old school, I keep thinking they shoulda signed up with someone else and let themselves get called "Ginebra". For serious.

Para mo na ring sinabi, mga lasenggo talaga mga Pinoy.

But... it's a name they can trust!

... to get them drunk.

Well, considering how rabid yung mga fans ng Ginebra (especially when Jaworski was still there), it makes sense.

Come to think of it, Jaworski sounds like a good superhero name.

Red Jaworski.

A new Filipino superhero team... the Crispa Redmanizers!

Red Jaworski and Red Horse!

Supported by Red Ribbon!

Oh God. As for the Tony Stark observation, he's WRONG. those aren't super heroes, they're politicians.

Their scions are trained in douche-baggery since birth!

privately thanking God that her father told all of them NEVER to enter politics.

quotes: "Politics is populated by pigs. Even if you're not a pig, how can anyone tell under all that mud?"

my dad has all these farmboy aphorisms.

Well, he's spot on with that one. XD

Yeah that and his usual caution: "Remember, no man will buy the cow if he's getting the milk for free."

Translation: No premarital sex.
