Concept of Super Commando Dhruva
Super Commando Dhruva`s parents, Shyam and Radha, were trapeze artists in Jupiter Circus. He was raised by circus artists amongst caged animals. During his early years in the circus, he was taught various forms of arts by different circus artists. Thus he developed into an expert marksman, gymnast and martial artist. He also evolved the skill of communicating with animals. The first issue of the series was titled Pratishodh ki Jwala which depicted the murder of his parents by the members of a competing circus troupe named Globe Circus. Dhruva vowed to avenge the death of his parents. Thus utilizing his various skills and talents, Dhruva becomes a crime fighting superhero named Super Commando Dhruva in the fictional city of Rajnagar. In later stories it was portrayed that he lives with foster parents.

The character of Super Commando Dhruva does have any superpowers like other superheroes, but has a muscular body and is an expert hand to hand combatant. He is a trained martial artist and an excellent marksman, but he usually avoids using guns and fire arms. Moreover, due to his ability of talking with animals and birds, Dhruva can gather various information about the crimes that occur in the region. He can also communicate with sea creatures and has the ability to breathe underwater for a prolonged period. This is perhaps only one of his superpowers that were given by his ally Dhananjay, a demi-god. Super Commando Dhruva is an excellent strategist and a detective as well and is able to observe minute clues to hunt and defeat his enemies. He usually uses various objects to disarm and capture his enemies but has vowed not to kill any one.
