India introduced comic book superheroes of its own much later than other countries. In 1986, they introduced Nagraj, a snake-themed superhero. This episode examines one of the sillier early issues where the publisher, Raj Comics, just used Spider-Man, Batman, and Superman in the story without getting permission. The characters don't quite act like themselves. But it's a bonkers and fun issue. There's also some discussion of comics in India in general.
