So, here are some fascinating facts about homeboy, Pavitr Prabhakar, read on.
Who is Indian Spider-Man?
Pavitr Prabhakar, a village resident who relocates to the city with his aunt Maya and uncle Bhim to pursue his studies, is the protector of Earth-50101’s Mumbai. Pavitr possesses Spider-Man’s strength, speed, and reflexes, which are unmatched. Furthermore, he has a natural passion for robotics and an incredible intellect.
Despite having difficulty paying his tuition, Pavitr, who was orphaned as a child, is fostered by his uncle and aunt. He is harassed by bullies at school, and only Meera Jain, a student from his school, becomes his friend.
A mighty warrior prince vanquished Rakshasa demons millennia ago using a supernatural amulet. The devils that had been imprisoned now yearn to escape. Meanwhile, a local crime lord named Nalin Oberoi performs an old ritual with an amulet while under the control of a demon bent on opening the portal for more demons to find their way to Earth.
The demon-possessed millionaire hunts Pavitr, sending the demon Dr. Octopus after him, and ultimately gets into a bloody duel with the spidey. Inheritors, a family of vampires that feeds on the life power of Spider-Totems all over the Multiverse, are another foe that Pavitr battles. In order to defeat the Inheritors, Pavitr works alongside the Multiversal Superior Spider-Army and the bigger Spider-Army.
