His secret identity is Pavitr Prabhakar, a shy high school student living with his Aunt Maya and Uncle Bhim in Mumbai.

[7][8][9][10][11] Marvel created this Indian version in collaboration with the Gotham Entertainment Group, with Debdatta Das as a co-creator.

[12] Pavitr Prabhakar, an Indian boy from a remote village, moves to Mumbai with the encouragement of his aunt Maya and Uncle Bhim after receiving a partial scholarship to attend Heritage International School, a prestigious academy.

A popular girl, Meera Jain, befriends him after they bond over their shared experience of moving to the city from a small village.

While being chased by bullies, Pavitr encounters an ancient yogi who grants him the powers of a spider to combat the evil threatening the world.

Pavitr dons the iconic Spider-Man costume and tests his new abilities, such as creating webs and clinging to walls.

[7] During the Spider-Verse storyline, which featured Spider-Men from various alternate realities, Pavitr Prabhakar fought a mysterious new villain named Karn, whom he mistook for a demon.

The Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Peter Parker's body) saved him and recruited him into his army of Spiders.

[13] In the second volume of Spider-Verse, set during the Secret Wars event, Pavitr Prabhakar found himself in the domain of Battleworld called Arachnia, where he teamed up with Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-UK, and Anya Corazon, although none of them remembered their previous encounter during the original Spider-Verse.

Ryan Linch of Screen Rant ranked Pavitr tenth, noting that the character "has some really clever deviations from his American counterparts, but still retains everything that makes Spider-Man great.
