Pavitr Prabhakar, the Spider-Man

Marvel's Indian licensee Gotham Entertainment Group has announced that they will launch a "trans-created" (as opposed to translated) version of the Spider-Man comics in the Indian market.

Readers of this series will not see the familiar Peter Parker of Queens under the classic Spider-Man mask, but rather a new hero — a young, Indian boy named Pavitr Prabhakar. 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.

Interesting.
