Since then, Nagraj has thrice toured the world and defeated many villains and terrorists. Nagraj then became Baba Goraknath's disciple and vowed to eliminate crime and terror from the Earth. Gorakhnath operated and removed the capsule from Nagraj's head, setting Nagraj free of Professor Nagmani's control. Gorakhnath read his mind and discovered that Professor Nagmani had implanted a mind control device in the form of a capsule in Nagraj's head, to keep him under his control.
Nagraj succeeded in his task, but upon confrontation with Gorakhnath and his mystic Black Mongoose shikangi, was defeated. Nagraj, in this first mission, was tasked with stealing a golden statue of a Goddess from a temple that was protected by tribal devotees, snakes, and by a mysterious 300-year old Sadhu named Baba Gorakhnath. Interestingly, in his debut issue, Nagraj was unleashed as an international terror weapon by the evil scientist Professor Nagmani. Nagraj was originally conceived as an enemy of international terrorism. Many of Nagraj's fans believe that, over time, Nagraj's comics have developed a Snake Mythology of its own, which is unique to the popular Indian beliefs about snakes that are prevalent among the masses. His stories create a rich blend of mythology, fantasy, magic, and science fiction. Nagraj is believed to have been inspired by the mythological Ichchhadhari Nag (shape shifting snakes) and historical Vishmanushya (venomous human). The name Nagraj is derived from the word "Nagaraja"(Hindi:नागराजा ) which is itself made up of two words "Nāga"(Hindi:नाग) and "Raja"(Hindi:राजा) where the word "nāga" means snake and "raja" means king. Since 1995, the illustration work of Nagraj has been taken over by artist and writer Anupam Sinha. Mullick successfully illustrated the character for around 50 issues, ending in 1995. The debut issue of Nagraj was written by renowned writer Parshuram Sharma and illustrated by Pratap Mullick. Despite the fact that comic culture had at one point almost vanished in India, his fan base continued to increase and today he is one of the most iconic characters of the Indian comic book industry. Created in the late 1980s by Sanjay Gupta, Nagraj has changed a lot in his 25 years in print, both in terms of looks as well as in stories.
Nagraj ("Snake-King") (नागराज in Devanagari script) is an fictional character, an Indian comic book superhero character from Raj Comics, who can arguably be considered the longest-running Indian action comic superhero.
