paraphrased from the times of india: “marvel comics plans to indianise the webmeister, peter parker of queens, the hero under the classic spider-man mask, will be replaced by a young, indian boy named pavitr prabhakar, a mumbaikar. 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 first web-swinging super hero will be joined by a reinvented villain. the green goblin will appears as a rakshasa, the indian mythological demon. spider-man india will become the first-ever ‘transcreation,’ where we reinvent the origin of a western property like spider-man so that he is an indian boy in mumbai dealing with local problems and challenges.” weird huh?
