-->-- '''Flavio/Panday''' in the first film.
In 1979, Filipino comics creator Carlo J. Carapas and artist Steve Gan collaborated to release a HighFantasy comic in the popular ''Liwaywawy Magazine'' known as ''Ang Panday'', (or in English, ''The Blacksmith''). The film was adapted in 1980 by Filipino action star Creator/FernandoPoeJr, who directed and produced the film.
It told the epic story of Flavio, also known as the eponymous Panday. Flavio serves as the village blacksmith, but is also tasked with the cruel duty of branding children as slaves of the immortal DarkLord Lizardo. Whilst serving as Panday, Flavio also lives with his mentor and predecessor as Panday, Tata Temyong (''tata'' being Filipino for ''old man''), apprentice Lando, and LoveInterest Monica. One day while looking for firewood, Tata Temyong is walking past an abandoned church tower when a tremor strikes. When he comes to, he finds the long-lost [[TomeOfFate Black Book]], a book of prophecies. Later that night, Flavio and his companions read the book discover that, to defeat Lizardo, the Panday must forge a [[LegendaryWeapon ''balaraw'' (or dagger)]] made of a metal that "will fall from the heavens." Shortly thereafterwards, a meteorite lands and Flavio creates a magic ''balaraw'' from it. After dealing with Lizardo's henchmen posted in the town, Flavio and his friends leave to find and defeat Lizardo once and for all.
The 1980 adaptation was a massive success, sweeping that year's UsefulNotes/MetroManilaFilmFestival. The film is considered FPJ's MagnumOpus by many of his fans today. Three more sequels followed in the following years, earning equal box-office and awards success. Several spinoffs and reboots followed in the years afterwards, including five reboot movies, a parody film starring Filipino comedian Joey De Leon, three television series, and the first primetime animated series made in the Philippines.

* DeusExMachina: Flavio dies in the third film after a fight with Lizardo's new bodyguard, but Tata Temyong resurrects him as the Black Book having said the Panday cannot die so soon,
