Answer:
who is the man? what?
Fippsandrea's Answer: it doesn't mean who is the man.. IT means how is the man.
NMP624'S answer:
It doesn't mean either of those things. ("How is the man" is a literal translation that does not capture the true meaning of the phrase.)
"Como es el hombre" means "What is the man like?" In other words....if you had to describe the man, what would you say? What is his personality like, what are his physical characteristics, etc. It's what the police would ask someone who witnessed a crime, when they're describing a suspect.
