Can it get any more bizarre than this? Having a Manga Star Wars comics is one thing, but having the web-slinger in Indian? Hmmm... amazing but true. Our friendly neighbourhood Spidey is gonna get an Indian makeover. This time, it's not Peter Parker who gets bitten by the bug, it's an Indian kid named Pavitr Prabhakar.
Marvel Enterprises, Inc. & Gotham Entertainment Group –Indian publishing licensee of Marvel Comics and the leading publisher of international comic magazines in South Asia – announces the launch of Spider-Man India.
...
Spider-Man India interweaves the local customs, culture and mystery of modern India... As Spider-Man, Pavitr leaps around rickshaws and scooters in Indian streets, while swinging from monuments such as the Gateway of India and the Taj Mahal.
...
Mumbai’s (Bombay’s) first web-swinging Super Hero will be joined by a reinterpretation of the classic Spider-Man villain, the Green Goblin -- reinvented as a Rakshasa, an Indian mythological demon.
