The story revolves around the time when India gained independence, and princely states were abolished. Vikrant’s father was a resident of the Rajgarh principality during those days. Despite being simple and calm, Vikrant’s father, Vidyadhar, was well-versed in tantra-mantra and yogic practices. He had initially aspired to become a sannyasi (ascetic) but was compelled to marry and lead a household life due to familial and societal pressures.
However, even after 15 years of marriage, when Vidyadhar and his wife remained childless, he decided to renounce his family and left for the jungles of Rajgarh. There, he dedicated his life to the ashram of Maharshi Aatmanand. One day, Vidyadhar’s father and his friend Krishnashankar visited Maharshi Aatmanand because a sage had predicted that Vidyadhar would become a father and then renounce the family life. Despite efforts by Maharshi Aatmanand to dissuade him, Vidyadhar declined to return and decided to leave the child in the ashram.
Maharshi Aatmanand named the child Vikrant. Growing up under the guidance of his father, Vikrant became proficient in tantra-mantra and yoga. However, one day he learned about his father’s death, supposedly at the hands of his friend Krishnashankar. Vikrant received a miraculous ring and a sword, which, guided by his father’s spirit, led him to Krishnashankar.
The “Super Power Vikrant” comic is not the first of its kind; an earlier comic featuring Suryaputra in “Suryaputra and Panchshoola” showed Vikrant embarking on a world tour for peace but being captured by enemies. The encounter with the prisoners of Suryaputra in the jungles of Africa brought Vikrant face-to-face with Samri, the antagonist. Despite being an advocate of non-violence and peace, Vikrant found himself entangled in a conflict due to the destruction caused by Samri’s friend Janglu.
In this new series, “Super Power Vikrant,” we not only learn about his birth but also about his struggles against Samri. At the age of twenty-five, Vikrant acquires a miraculous ring with various powers, including the ability to see into the past, future, and present. However, a warning accompanies it, cautioning against seeking insights into the past or future of an enlightened being.
Additionally, Vikrant receives a magical sword, and the publication is credited to Pawan Comics, with Badal Sharma as the writer and Chemio Arts as the illustrator.
