10 Crazy Superheroes From Around The World

8. Super Commando Dhruva (India)

Coming out of India and from the pages of Raj Comics, Super Commando Dhruva is the closest thing on this list to the comic book characters that readers traditionally associate with the likes of Marvel and DC. Having first appeared in 1987, he is still popular today. His real name is Dhruva Mehra and, when he first appeared, he was already an established hero, but his origin would be touched upon fairly quickly. He was brought up in a circus and developed a means of communicating with the animals - an ability that would be the closest thing he ever had to an actual superpower. He turned to fighting crime when Jubisko - the henchman of a rival circus boss - was sent to kill everyone in his circus, including Dhruva's parents. Utilising his genius intellect and mastery of various performing arts and related abilities (stunt biking, acrobatics, enhanced reflexes, expert marksmanship etc), he vowed revenge and then decided to continue as a hero even after he achieved it.
