Pavitr, the defender of Earth-50101, resides in Mumbattan, a blend of Mumbai and Manhattan, and was raised by his Uncle Bhim and Aunt Maya.
Pavitr moves to Mumbai for studies, facing bullying from fellow students, but finds solace and a sympathetic friend in Meera Jain i.e. MJ.
Shortly after Pavitr moves to the city, Nalin Oberoi, a Green Goblin-like Rakshasa or demon, massacres everyone in his village while searching for the amulet.
Pavitr has superhuman abilities like strength, speed, spider-sense, and the ability to produce webs, along with a keen interest in robotics.
