Yep, he's a hero in a Columbia comic book! Check the story here:

.....might want to get 1inC on this right away, I think....
 
My Spanish is a bit rusty, but these are some of the features of his cotume that are labeled in the picture:

Anti-demonic gloves/gauntlets
Anti-sin shield (chest logo)
Holy (lycra) spandex
Staff of light and Faith
Holy Bible(in utility belt)
Holy Water(in utility belt)
Sacramental Wine (in utility belt)
Stamp of blessing(?)* (in utility belt)
Chastity panties
Rubber boots insulating him against diabolic(?)* electricity

*A catholic and/or someone more fluent in Spanish might understand these referents better.
 
Catholic power, transubstantiate! Circular arguments are go!
 
He's in the Catholitrix! Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop on this laptop, and I seem to have lost the CD anyway, or I would have made a parody. Well, not really, since I don't have the time anymore.

I think the green clashes too much with the red. It reminds me too much of Christmas.

Blessed Stamps. I figure them stamps with saints and such.
Rubber boots insulating him against diabolic(?)* electricity
Rubber boots avoid Godly electrification* Dunno if they mean regular old electric shock or full-on electrocution. Lots of regional language differences in Latin America.

Hey, maybe Popeman will make guest appearances in Preacher and Priest!

I hear he's scheduled to battle Space Pope. Although, Space Pope has a giant planet-sized robot and an infinte energy source...

(In the Japanese, the kanji for him was the same kanji as Pope, however, here, he's "Patriarch" so as not to offend Catholics.)
 
Faster than a speeding angel...
More powerful than a Baptist...
Able to leap St. Peter's in a single bound!
Look! Up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's SUPERPOPE!

Yes, it's Superpope! Strange visitor from another country, with powers and abilities far beyond those of 'mortal' priests!

Superpope! Who can change the course of church doctrine; bend wafers in his bare hands! And who, disguised as Karol Jozef Wojtyla (mild-mannered priest for the entire Catholic Church), fights a Never-Ending battle for 'Truth', 'Justice', and the Vatican Way!
