EN: invulnerable; having a charm of invincibility
This is the OG superhero. Before Marvel, we had lolo stories about a local hero na 'may-kabal,' meaning bullets and blades couldn't hurt him. It's the ultimate 'unkillable' buff from Filipino folklore, powered by anting-anting.
From "may" (has/with) + "kabal" (a charm for invulnerability).
Primarily used in the context of Filipino folklore, mythology, and discussions about amulets (anting-anting).
