Certainly! The way villains exist in movies, something similar happens in comics too. Both possess power, but there’s a significant difference. In movies, female characters are often portrayed as weak and seen wandering around the main antagonist. However, in comics, a female villain emerges as a powerful character. She doesn’t rely on another male antagonist but, instead, defeats the main hero with her own strength and knowledge. There are some female antagonists who not only confronted Nagraj but also gave him a tough competition at various instances.
Miss Killer
Miss Hiroshima, alias Miss Killer, is not just Japan’s leading crime queen, but a global favorite among infamous criminals. Her mastery in high-tech weaponry makes her the go-to arms dealer for anyone seeking lethal tools. Miss Killer excels not only in technology but also commands a squad of hundreds of trained assassins. Following her orders without hesitation, she eliminates targets without a second thought. Perhaps that’s why Raj Comics has repeatedly pitted Miss Killer against Nagraj – giving her more opportunities than any other villain
Nagina
Nag Tantra Nagina, a prominent adversary of Nagraj, holds a special place in the list of his main foes. The first encounter between Nagraj and Nagina was showcased in the Jal Comics. If there’s a female villain who has clashed with Nagraj after Miss Killer, it’s Nagina. One unique aspect of Nagina is that she never attacks Nagraj directly; instead, she strategically aligns herself with other enemies of Nagraj, be it Miss Killer, Nagdant, or Vishandhar. Her ultimate goal is to become the queen of Nagdweep. While she has saved Nagraj’s life on several occasions, it’s always for her personal gain. Nagina’s cunning reached its pinnacle when she acquired a boon from the divine Yaksha Garalagant, making him her slave. Nagina stands as one of the powerful antagonists in Raj Comics, or should we say, in the realm of female characters.
Vishkanya
Vishakanya, another female villain in Raj Comics, was created by the demon king Garalagant. Nagdweep’s scheming ruler, Vishandhar, wanted to eliminate Nagraj as he knew Nagraj had the potential to become the king of Nagdweep. To achieve this, Vishandhar undertook intense penance, seeking power from Garalagant to bring about Nagraj’s demise. Garalagant, being an enemy of the divine Kalajayi, who was instrumental in Nagraj’s birth, granted Vishandhar’s request. Vishandhar then bestowed the lethal Vishakanya upon Nagraj.
Vishakanya possesses the unique ability to absorb and retaliate with the same power as her opponent. Nagraj becomes ensnared in her web and is forced to confront his own powers.
Nagin
In Nagin Comics, Nagraj faces a formidable challenge from the ancient Neernagas residing beneath the ocean for thousands of years. This confrontation unfolds due to a sinister conspiracy. When the king of Neernagas, Mahavyal, discovers that his shape-shifting serpent subjects are dying from the toxic waste spread by humans, he decides to teach humans a lesson. Mahavyal emerges at the shore, leading to a clash with Nagraj. Amidst the conflict, Mahavyal falls victim to a treacherous attack, and Nagraj is falsely accused.
To avenge her husband, Nagin, Mahavyal’s wife, seeks the assistance of Neerguru and performs the Nagyajna, absorbing all of Nagraj’s powers. Helpless, Nagraj becomes a pawn in Nagin’s hands as she wreaks havoc across the entire city.
Polka
Polka, the mastermind of terrorists, kidnaps Bharati, capturing Nagraj and planting the same mind-control capsule in his brain once again. This capsule allows Nagraj to enslave anyone, and she uses Bharati as a pawn by brainwashing the daughter of a circus worker, filling her mind with memories and linking her to Nagraj. As a result, she keeps a close eye on Nagraj’s every move.
A time comes when Nagraj is labeled a global terrorist, and superheroes like Parmanu, Doga, and Inspector Steel have to intervene to stop him. Ultimately, it is revealed that Polka was orchestrating everything under the orders of Nagpasha.
Vishala
Vishala harbored enmity not just towards Nagraj but against every serpent in Nagdweep. Her ultimate goal was to eradicate all the Nagas, for which she needed the immortal Sphatik. Unable to touch it herself, she manipulated the banished Naga Vishandhar, turning him into her pawn to steal the Sphatik from Nagdweep. However, a chance encounter with Dhruva led to the loss of Sphatik, complicating her plans.
With the lives of all Nagas in Nagdweep hinging on the Sphatik, Vishala infiltrated Rajnagar along with Nagraj, seeking the gem. The first clash between Nagraj and Dhruva occurred as they both tried to uncover the truth. Vishala’s true identity was revealed in the confrontation. A formidable serpent, Vishala effortlessly defeated warriors like Kaladoot. In the Medusa Comics, it is discovered that Vishala was Medusa’s sister.
Medusa
Medusa, whose gaze turns any man into stone, becomes the adversary for Nagraj, Dhruva, Doga, and Parmanu. In the Medusa Comics, all superheroes face off against Medusa, revealing that she is Vishala’s sister. Using her power, Medusa successfully turns Doga and Parmanu into stone statues, but Nagraj and Dhruva manage to escape her petrifying gaze
Queen of the Pyramids
The magical beverage from the Cairo Pyramids had an unusual effect on children, converting them into devoted fans of a particular drink known as ‘Jepsy.’ After taking it, they would commit suicide. Nagraj investigates the mysterious suicides and tracks them down to Cairo, where he meets the ‘Queen of the Pyramids.’ She plans to resurrect Tutankhamun by sacrificing hundreds of children. To accomplish this, she gives Sir Don a special powder that transforms him into Jepsy and distributes it globally.Nagraj not only kills Sir Don, but he also challenges the Queen of the Pyramids and nearly defeats her. However, she unexpectedly disappears, along with Tutankhamun’s coffin.
