Voltaire was the son of the couple Dulce and Mario. At a young age, he and his mother were assailed by a "perfect storm" where lightning 'struck' Voltaire, but left him unharmed. He discovered he had power afterwards but he kept it from his mother. As he grew, he felt alone because of his secret, but everything changed when he met Lara.
Follow the life of Voltaire, an ordinary person, who acquired a strange power after being hit by lightning from the "perfect storm".

Marketing
On December 17, 2012, TV5 unveils its Kidlat billboard on EDSA, but it caused heavy traffic at EDSA, due to Derek's appearance as Kidlat costume.[6] On January 6, 2013, before Kidlat aired on primetime, TV5 previewed the series by airing its telemovie.
Meme status
After the issues with defending against bashers on Derek Ramsay's Instagram account of his then-girlfriend, Andrea Torres who allegedly called by a basher "Retokada" (transl. Retouched)[7] and also defending his friend Bea Alonzo after her breakup with Gerald Anderson,[8] the series saw a rejuvenated interest in Philippine meme culture spawning from various Facebook meme pages which posted a series of meme revolving around the character, which made "Wag kang bastos!" (transl. Don't be rude!) synonymous with Ramsay within the community.
