ABSTRACT
The Golden Age encompasses the 1980s to around the late 1990s, a coming-of-age period that saw the fully qualified Indian superheroes emerge. Comic books have ordinarily been produced with young people in mind. This chapter focuses on the trends and potentials for comic books. It addresses how representations of millennial desi superheroism have percolated in a rapidly liberalising political economy and what this means for adventure comic books as well as young people's imaginaries in and of millennial India. The reproduction of their comic books online by their readers was generally tolerated earlier, but in recent years, this laissez faire attitude was replaced with a more hands-on proprietorial approach. Soaring into the new millennium, superheroes are becoming the rage across all media. It may be relatively easy to reproduce ambitions of global domination as played out through a superhero's international and galactic quests in Indofuturist fiction.
