Mere Naam Spider-Man

Meet the rakshasa-fighting, dhoti-wearing Spider-Man ver. India. Try not to confuse him with Spider-Man ver. Japan (who pilots a giant robot) or Spider-Man ver. Holland (who speaks Dutch).

This localisation, while sounding odd and provoking some deliciously sarky comments, isn’t unprecedented. Slashdot reader phr4gmonk3y rightly points out Haim Saban did the same thing with various sentai series from Japan to produce the Power Rangers franchise for the US market.
