New Indian superhero has yogic superpowers

After Nagraj, Doga, Super Commando Dhruva, Triranga and Yodda, there's another Indian superhero on the block and his name is 'Chakra-The Invincible'.

Like his western counterparts, Superman, Spiderman and Batman, Rai has a body suit with superpowers that can save Mumbai.

Born in the city, the teenager, a science prodigy, develops a body suit along with his scientist mentor. What makes Chakra different from the other super heroes? He has yogic powers! The suit helps him activate his yogic chakras which help him get super powers.

"Chakra-The Invincible" is created by Stan Lee, former president and chairman of Marvel Comics and also a comic book writer, publisher, media producer, television host, editor, actor and voice actor. He's the man who co-created the X-Man, Iron Man, Thor, The Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider Man and many other characters.

Sharad Devarajan, CEO of Graphic India has worked with Stan Lee to conceptualise the character. The comic was published on May 4.

The comic will also be published in Hindi, Tamil and Mayalam. There are plans to animate the character for television series.
