from BBC News (Thursday, 24 June, 2004, 15:51 GMT 16:51 UK)

"Superhero Spider-Man has had a make-over for a new series of comic books launching in India.

The character will no longer be known as Peter Parker - but will become the young Pavitr Prabhakar.

When the first Spider-Man movie opened in India, it took 67m rupees (£940,000) in its first four days of release - and made more in its first weekend than any Hollywood movie yet released in India. "
