A real-life ‘Superman’ showed up a the Manhyia Palace during the Akwasidae festival held on Sunday, November 11, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace in the Ashanti Region.
People at the Manhyia Palace could not believe their eyes as they stared at the tall Caucasian man who was wearing the iconic Superman costume, complete with the red cape.
The Superman cosplayer was identified as Tall Clark, a 6.8-inch-tall Brazilian man whose real name is Leonardo Muylaert.
Leonardo Muylaert, a Brazilian civil rights lawyer, became an internet sensation due to his uncanny resemblance to Superman. He now travels globally doing cosplay, charity work, and appearances at events and hospitals.
In a video, he was accompanied to the Manhyia Palace by some other white people who could be members of his team and a Ghanaian man who was in traditional cloth. The Ghanaian man acted as the spokesperson for Leonardo Muylaert.
Superman had the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the 8th Akwasidae Festival of 2025. After the handshake, Superman addressed the gathering briefly and presented a picture frame of himself to the Asantehene.
In his address, he appreciated the Asantehene and his people for the warm reception given him.
The palace routinely hosts the Akwasidae festival, a ceremony held once every six weeks to honour ancestors and symbolise the strength of the Asante Kingdom.
