And yet, nearly 30 years later, people still remember it.
Including VR Man fan Aphelion, who recently posted an AI-generated tribute titled VR Man 2026 on Reddit.
All we can say is, damn effort.
The 1-minute-43-second video opens like a superhero retirement drama.
An older man, dressed in a sharp suit, walks into a dark room. He opens a drawer, pulls out his iconic mask and quietly says: “I remember. I am VR Man.”
He puts on the mask and suddenly the memories come flooding back.
We’re transported back to the, erm, glory days of VR Man fighting criminals, saving civilians and doing whatever it was VR Man used to do every week.
The fan video cleverly mixes AI-generated footage with clips from the original series, creating the feeling of a forgotten hero looking back at his past.
Then comes the transformation.
He starts building himself a high-tech battle suit. Think less “1998 Mediacorp wardrobe department” and more “Bruce Wayne after a massive funding round.”
The upgraded armour looks like a cross between Iron Man, Batman and a futuristic military exoskeleton.
