Nastredamus, but before I proceed, let me clarify that we’re not talking about the Nostradamus who passed away centuries ago and wrote the prophetic book ‘Les Prophéties.’ We’re referring to a different Nastredamus who turned his gems into weapons, creating superheroes like Dhruv and compelling them to kneel. Nastredamus made his debut in the assassin comics, attempting to loot a van with his partners Shukra and Shani. It is here that he faces Dhruv for the first time. The comics do not delve into Nastredamus’ personal life, only revealing that his father was also an astrologer. Believing in the deep…

Garlagant, much like the benevolent serpents and Nagraj, is the deity of sin and evil-spreading wishful serpents in the world. Garlagant, the demon king, is considered divine for his wickedness and animosity towards Kaaljayi. In the Vishakanya Comics, Garlagant introduces a powerful entity named Vishakanya, whose purpose is to eliminate Nagraj. It is revealed that Garlagant harbors enmity towards Kaaljayi, and Nagraj, born with the blessings of Dev Kaaljayi, becomes his ultimate adversary. Garlagant’s character is intricately crafted in any comic, portraying why he sees Kaaljayi as his enemy. This dichotomy is illustrated in Vishahin Nagraj, with Dev Kaaljayi aligned…

This issue has been persistently raised between them, with characters copying each other, and this trend has been…

Certainly! The way villains exist in movies, something similar happens in comics too. Both possess power, but there’s a significant difference.
