SUPER COMMANDO DHRUV

Super Commando Dhruva (सुपर कमाण्डो ध्रुव in Devanagari script) is a fictional superhero in comic books published by Raj Comics. The character first appeared in "Pratishodh Ki Jwala" and was created by writer and artist Anupam Sinha. Dhruva's creator gave him the ability to talk to animals and birds, great agility, marshal arts and a very sharp brain also the strongest willpower known to the human beings, enabling him to combat many powerful super-villains, including Grand Master Robo, Chandakaal, Mahamanav, Dhwaniraaj, Chumba, Bauna Vaman etc. When Super commando Dhruva first appeared in comics, superheroes used to be too powerful and used to beat villains using their super powers. Dhruva was an exception to this continued trend. Dhruva had no special super powers. He fought his villains using his sharp brain and making use of the things around him to defeat the villains. Raj comics also featured a great use of science in his comics. Though Dhruva never use any modern technology gadgets, he usees the basic principle of science to solve problems. Although he sometimes uses Star Blades, Roller Skates, Nerve gas capsules and acid capsules. Raj comics has featured Dhruva in several comics books. Over the years, he has become a milestone in the history of Raj Comics. ATTRIBUTES 'Dhruva' means Pole Star in Hindi, which indicates one who remains in his position no matter what happens. The character has handsome looks and a muscular body, but does not have extraordinary superpowers like other comic heroes. He does, however, understand the language of animals and birds, a result of his upbringing in a circus, and they help him from time to time by reporting crimes happening in Rajnagar, the fictional city where he lives with his foster parents. Powers and abilities His only seemingly supernatural power is the ability to understand and talk to animals and birds (even sea creatures). Although this can, to some extent, be attributed to his childhood spent in Circus with all sorts of animals. Other than this, he is an excellent hand to hand combatant, with experience in all major martial arts. He is a perfect marksman too (Although he has staunchly avoided fire arms in the entire series). He is also a first class detective and a brilliant strategist who is able to follow minute clues to locate and counter villains, much more powerful than him. He is observed frequently to face super human villains and is able to win over them by his sheer intelligence. Apart from this he also has the ability to breathe under water, thanks to his friend Dhananjay. One great strength of Dhruva, as shown in each of his stories, is his ability to utilize objects around him as weapons to disarm or capture his enemies (he has vowed not to kill). He shows the practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items. In the multi-hero stories, it is mostly Dhruva who plans a way to defeat the powerful villains by strategically using the powers of other heroes. Every night Dhruva patrols his city Rajnagar on his special motorbike to prevent crime. Unlike many super heroes he does not use a disguise. Dhruva is also the founder and head of "Commando Force" a three member team (Peter Massy, Renu & Karim Shah) which helps him fight crime in Rajnagar. In one of the comic from his series "Shweta", who is a good science student, has given Dhruva a patch-up. So Dhruva now has, apart from his 'Star Transmitter' (to contact his commando headquarters), Boots which become roller skates with a little movement of his toe. And above all 'Star Line' a metallic rope with which he can use to swing from wall to wall much like Batman. This rope is contained in the metallic bracelets given by Shweta along with metallic star-shaped blades called 'Star Blades'. Family, Friends and Allies * Family - Dhruva has been adopted by I.G. (Inspector General) Rajan and continues to live with his foster parents. His foster sister, Shweta, although appearing to be a normal girl, is in fact a heroine in her own right.

Another gangster called L Salvano tried to kill him by bombs but he survived as Doctor Schilder saved him. Another doctor Marian Cole was taking care of Sheen because he liked her. Doctor Schilder loved Marian but decided to ask her to marry Sheen so that she could prevent him from becoming a criminal. However, the first thing Sheen did after marriage was the brutal murder of Salvano. He entered the world of Crime but took great care not to let Marian know about this. When Marian came to know about this she decided to leave him. She left his house when she was pregnant. She began living with her mother. There she gave birth to a baby girl called Natasha. Sheen wanted to punish Marian for jilting him but he loved her very much and could not kill her. Thus, he secretly kidnapped baby Natasha. Many years later, he became the boss of a big terrorist syndicate and named himself as Grand Master Robo. He got Natasha trained in various fighting skills and made her the commander of his army. When Natasha met Dhruva, she fell in love with him and abandoned the world of crime. Few years later, Dhruva succeeded in arresting Robo but could not get him punished as there was no evidence or witness against him. Thus, Robo was acquitted. A terrorist group gave Robo, a contract to kill a British diplomat who was visiting India. Robo bombed the car of that diplomat, only to find an injured Marian, riding with that diplomat inside. Marian had taken a lift in the car. First time, he became a victim of terrorism. He then decided to surrender to police. By co-incidence, Doctor Schilder was in Raj Nagar.

Got power by the Rakshas Guru Dhannaraksh. * Mahamanav - Mahamanav represents the next race of humans. His origin is not very clear but it is known that he grew in southern hemisphere and because of longer days and nights and some other factors, his evolution was faster. He quickly grew past homo sapiens and developed many superhuman abilities in course of his evolution. In an unfortunate accident, he got buried deep under ice in Antarctica, where he remained buried in hibernation until some scientists drilling the area around supposedly woke him up. After resurrection, his efforts are solely in the direction of recreating the conditions that would help all humans evolve to his level; even at the cost of life of each and every one on the planet.He has extremely well developed psychic powers. His telepathic and mind control abilities are notably strong. He has been observed to control minds of people across continents but the upper limit of his telepathic powers are unknown.

He has been observed to change weather conditions once from extreme hot to extreme cold in a matter of minutes in an attempt to create the ideal conditions for human growth. More recently he can convert his psychic energy into different energies such as sonic energy, electrical energy etc. Since he has grown in the sub zero climate of Antarctica, he has not been able to adapt to heat. If exposed to too much heat, his body automatically goes into hibernation. Super Commando Dhruva was able to use this weakness to beat him once by throwing him into an active volcano. Since Mahamanav generates a force field before his hibernation and the force field remains active while he sleeps, he is unharmed in his sleep.

nagraj

Nagraj ("Snake-King") (नागराज in Devanagari script) is an Indian comic book character from Raj Comics who arguably can be termed as the longest living Indian action comic Superhero. Created in the late 1980s by Sanjay Gupta, Nagraj has changed a lot in his life of more than 20 years both in terms of looks as well as stories. Despite the fact that comic culture had once almost vanished in India, his fan base still increased and is expected to increase tremendously after his first animated movie is released.

Overview

The debut issue of Nagraj was written by renowned writer Parshuram Sharma and drawn by Pratap Mulick. Mulick successfully drew the character for about 50 issues till 1995. Since 1995, the illustration work of Nagraj has been taken over by artist and writer Anupam Sinha. Today whatever Nagraj is, is because of these legends of the Indian comic industry Pratap Mullick and Anupam Sinha.

The character of Nagraj is believed to be inspired by mythological Ichchhadhaari Naags (shape shifting snakes), historical Vishmanushya (venomous human). His stories serve a rich blend of mythology, fantasy, magic and science fiction. Many of Nagraj's fans believe that over time Nagraj's comics have developed a Snake Mythology of its own which is unique to the popular Indian beliefs about snakes prevalent among the masses.

Nagraj was originally conceived as an enemy of international terrorism. Interestingly, in his debut, Nagraj was unleashed as an international terror weapon by the evil scientist Professor Nagmani. Nagraj in this first mission was tasked to steal a golden statue of a Goddess from a temple protected by tribal devotes, snakes and by a mysterious more than 300 years old Sadhu named Baba Gorakhnath. Nagraj succeeded in his task but upon confrontation with Gorakhnath and his mystic Black Mongoose Shikangi was defeated. Gorakhnath read his mind and found out that Professor Nagmani had implanted a mind controlling device in form of a capsule in Nagraj's head to keep him under his control. Gorakhnath operated and removed the capsule from Nagraj's head, setting Nagraj free of Professor Nagmani's control. Nagraj then became Baba Goraknath's disciple and vowed to eliminate crime and terror from the Earth. Since then Nagraj has thrice toured the World and defeated many villains and terrorists.

Presently Nagraj lives as Raj in a fictional Metropolitan City Mahanagar as an employee in a TV Channel secretly owned by himself.

Fictional Character Biography

In ancient times when Gods still visited earth without any restrictions, there existed a Kingdom known as Takshaknagar ruled by King Takshakraj and his Queen Lalita. The ruling couple had no worries except for one;They had no child. The absence of a prince or princess made Nagpasha the only potential heir to the throne. Nagpasha was the younger identical brother of the King, knowing that he was the only potential heir to the throne Nagpasha started living a lavish worryfree life.

As time passed the Queen started getting depressed over the absence of her own child. The King realized the cause of Queen's depression and got upset too. The couple used to pray to their family deity Deva Kaljayi for his blessings. Deva Kaljayi too knew of their grievances, so one day he blessed them to have a good great child. His blessings came true as the Queen became pregnant soon and the whole Kingdom rejoiced except for Nagpasha. The birth of this child meant loss of the throne to him, so he decided to kill the child before he was born.

One day when the Queen was going to pray Deva Kaljayi, Nagpasha replaced the curtained plate of her offerings for the god, with one containing a dead mongoose. The Snake God got angry and knocked her unconscious by his venomous breath. The King sought forgiveness from the Devta and pleaded with him to cure his wife which the devta refused, following which the desperate King tried to commit suicide. Not able to withstand a devotee's death, Deva Kaljayi showed him a way to save the Queen's life. He gave a crystal to the King and told him to treat it with the Queen's medicine. The crystal would divert all the poison from the Queen's body to the child's body, however due to the ill effects of the poison the Queen would lose her fertility.

The Kingdom was highly grieved and so was the King. Nagpasha was overjoyed that now he alone was left as the heir. When the child was born everyone believed him dead cause his whole body was blue and showed no signs of life. As per Hindu rituals the new born baby was thrown into the river. (Don't get confused why he wasn't cremated. In Hindu mythology, it is believed that Yogi of high caliber can leave their body in form of soul and as a soul can perform tasks like switching between bodies or travel between different worlds. It is a Hindu ritual that when a child is born dead or dies in his infancy his body is flown into the river so that if some soul wishes to use the body it can take over it. For the same reason when adults die their body are destroyed by fire because adults do have a social life and their body is likely to be misused.)

Nagpasha rejoiced and straight away went, intoxicated, to Deva Kaljayi (the deity also protected the grand royal treasure in form of a giant two headed snake) and asked him to hand over the royal treasures to him, telling him that now he was the sole successor to the throne so the treasure belonged to him. Deva Kaljayi refused and told him that the "real successor" to the throne was alive and when the time comes the treasure will be handed over to him. Enraged Nagpasha raised his sword against the deity only to be thrown away by a mere flick of the giant snake's tail. Nagpasha fell upon two bowls, one contained the highly toxic venom (halahal,the greatest form of venom as believed by Hindus) which destroyed his face and got mixed with his blood, other contained Amrit, which made him immortal. Simultaneous effect of both made Nagpasha an immortal venomous man. At that time Nagpasha couldn't tolerate the changes in his body and fainted.

When the King was informed of the happenings by Deva Kaljayi he realized that his son was not dead, he also realized the potential dangers to his life. So he ordered his faithful astrologer Vedacharya who had great knowledge of Tilism to ensafe the treasure in a Tilism which could be only broken by his son. Vedacharya made the tilism with the cooperation of Deva Kaljayi to ensure that none but the King's son is able to break the tilism not even immortal Nagpasha. When Nagpasha came to his senses he realized that he had lost the treasure. Enraged, he murdered the King and the Queen.

The child flowing away on the river in his state of suspended animation got struck some where in bushes. There he lay for a long time.

Meanwhile the snake deity Deva Kaljayi appeared in the dreams of King Maniraj and his wife Queen Manika, rulers of ageless Ichchhadhaari naags living secretly on an invisible to human eye island in Indian Ocean,called Nagdweep.He told them the location of the baby and asked them to cure him. They did so and found out the baby, they also discovered that he was far more venomous than even the greatest snake on the island which was Mahatma Kaaldoot indicating that he had divine venom of the God. Initially the rajvaid was unsure that whether he will be able to cure the child, but since Deva Kaljayi himself asked the king for his treatment he was assured that treatment will work. According to the rules, no one was permitted to bring an outsider to the island so the King decided to keep his presence a secret.

Many years passed and the treatment started showing results, though still in the same state of suspended animation, the color of the baby had gradually changed to green. The King gave the news to the Queen and they decided to adopt the child because they had no child of their own. Their decision was heard by Vishandhar an evil Tantrik who wanted to become the ruler of the Island but was afraid of Mahatma Kaaldoot. He attacked the secret area where the baby was kept and escaped with him, fearing the wrath of the God he decided not to kill the baby and so he kept him back into the same bushes in the river from where the baby was discovered. His plan flopped cause the Queen soon became pregnant gave birth to a daughter who was named Visarpi.

Naagaandhar never knew that the baby whom he left astray was cured enough to regain his senses, first his face then whole body became normal humanlike and he started crying. A priest of the nearby temple located him and gifted him to Professor Nagmani who was wandering in nearby forest searching for snakes. For unknown reasons the priest narrated a fake story that the child belonged to a raped woman who was a devotee of the Snake God and the child was blessed by an ichchhadhari naag, he asked Nagmani to bring up the child in such a way that he becomes capable of avenging his mother.

Nagmani realized that the priest was lying but he took the child with him. The blood tests of the child showed that the child had minute microscopic snakes in his blood filling in for White blood cells. The child had extraordinary healing powers and was extremely venomous. He raised the baby who went on to become Nagraj.

Powers and abilities

Nagraj is arguably the most powerful Superhero in Raj Universe, and is among the most powerful Icchadhari Naagas of his time. and again, he has even shown the potential of challenging the Supreme Snake-Gods like Sheshnaag, Vasukidev, Kaaljayi and has defeated the likes of Kaaldoot, Trifana, Mahavyaal and Sheetnaag Kumar, who are ranked among the mightiest snakes in their species.

1. Nagraj's primary power is his ability to contain millions of snakes in microscopic size inside his body, making his body a host for a variety of snakes. He can order them to come out of his body and attack his opponents, and also instruct them to form simple structures such as ropes, lasso,webs, gloves,pipes etc. as well as complex structures such as a parachute, boat,gliders and many others.

2. Aside from ordinary snakes, he also has a wide variety of mystical snakes like Jagmag Sarp (snakes with bodies which shines brightly in dark places), Naagfani Sarp (snakes with stretchable, spike-covered bodies, which can pierce through anything and elongate themselves as well), Dhwansak Sarp (Explosive snakes which explodes as soon as their body come in contact with anything), Maanas Sarp (Psionic snakes which enables Nagraj to split his astral psyche from his body), Udan Sarp (Winged snakes which can fly) among others. These sarp also multiply rapidly, thus making them limitless in numbers.

3. He also hosts several Icchadhari Sarp in his body, like Sheetnaag Kumar (The Prince of Sheetnaags, who has the ability of ice manipulation) , Saudangi (An Egyptian snake who is a master of Tantra-Kala, or Sorcery), Naagu (A Manidhhari Snake, whose 'Mani' grants him amazing powers like shapeshifting, illusion-casting, energy-based attacks etc.) and the Vilakshana Naags. This sarps can come out of his body at will and aid him in battles.

4. Nagraj's body holds the most dangerous venom, the Halaahal, and thus his bite is fatal to almost every human being and Naags in this world. Anyone whom he bites, or vice versa, melts down to nothing in a few seconds. His breath also consists some amount of this very venom, thus enabling Nagraj to concentrate all this venom into his one breath, which he calls Vish-Funkaar, which results in a quick death for anyone who inhales it. He can also spit this venom on others, which he uses in his Vish-Fuhar, which is equally dangerous and fatal. This venom is combined in his blood itself, thus anyone who tastes die almost suddenly.

5. All of Nagraj's physical attributes have reached super-human level, and his strength, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, and speed are far beyond the peak human-level.

6. He also have accelerated healing factor, which heals any wounds almost in no time, thanks to the millions of the snakes in his body which aids in the healing. Thus guns, swords, blades etc. are useless against him.

7. All of his primary senses have enhanced to super-human level, which makes his eyesight and hearing far better than any human. He can also sense vibrations in the environment, thus making him navigate and combat even without using his eyesight. He also has a Sixth-Sense, which he uses if his other five senses are not of much help. Being a highly poisonous Human-Snake(He doesn't agree to be a snake-man), poisons and drugs have absolutely no effect on him, thus making him immune to them.

8. Being an Icchadhari(Space-Shifting), he has shapeshifting abilities and can shapeshift into any creature or person he desires. He can also use this power to grow wings, claws, fins on his body for better navigation and combat. Thanks to his shapeshifting abilities, he can grow his size and proportional strength to even higher levels. Although he lost many of his shapeshifting powers during the events of the issue "Icchadhari", still he retains his ability to turn into a snake at will. He can also use his Icchadhari shakti to break free his atoms, rendering himself invisible and intangible to dodge attacks and pass through barriers, though he can only remain in this form for 3 seconds. His Icchadhari shakti also protects his head from any assaults and attacks, thus any telepathic or electromagnetic attack on his brain backfires on the source, due to the Icchadhari shakti.

9. Nagraj possesses the ability to shed his skin, the same way as a snake sheds its "Kenchuli",in case some harmful substance, like acid, comes in contact with his skin.

10. Nagraj can also stick to surfaces and climb walls in a way some snake do.

11. He is a master of hypnotism, and can hypnotize anyone in matter of seconds to cast illusions and force the victims into believing or obeying whatever he tells them.

12. Nagraj also possess some amount of Psychic powers the amount of which is unknown(Different levels of this power have been shown in different issues).
