In the vast world of Raj Comics, if we talk about a hero who is a brilliant combination of technology, patriotism, and espionage, that name is undoubtedly ‘Parmanu’. From the tall buildings of Delhi to the depths of hell, this secret identity of Inspector Vinay is like death for criminals. But a superhero’s story is not limited to his powers and ability to fly; his true strength lies in the relationships that keep him ‘human’ and the challenges that test him at every moment.
Often, while reading comics, we see Parmanu’s scientific abilities, such as the ‘Atom Blast’ and ‘Molecular Compactor’, but we are rarely able to understand the important characters standing behind him who form the foundation of Vinay’s life. Parmanu’s life is divided between two sides—on one side are his friends and family, who are his shield and emotional strength, and on the other side are the dreaded villains, whose only goal is to turn the peace of Delhi into a heap of gunpowder.
In this special and detailed article, we will discuss both these aspects of Parmanu’s life in depth. In the information given below, you will not only learn about the scientific contribution of Professor Mamaji and Vinay’s difficult yet loving relationship with Sheena (Bomb), but will also read in detail about mastermind enemies like Ajgar Patel and Aatishbaaz, who brought Parmanu to the edge of death many times. This information will introduce you to the nuances that are hidden only within the pages of these special comics (‘Bomb’, ‘Aatishbaaz’, and ‘Munpun Ka Khiladi’).
Be it the loyalty of Probot or the mind games of the villains, every story of Parmanu brings a new lesson and adventure. So, let’s dive into this untold story of the friends and enemies of Delhi’s nuclear guardian.
Inspector Vinay: A Brave Police Officer and the Basis of Parmanu
The real name of Parmanu is Vinay. Vinay is an orphaned young man; after the death of his parents, his maternal uncle, a professor, raised him. Vinay’s character is that of an ‘ideal citizen’. He captures criminals during the day while wearing the uniform of the law, and by becoming Parmanu at night or in times of crisis, he eliminates enemies who are beyond the reach of the law.
• The emotional side: Vinay is very sensitive. He is completely devoted to his girlfriend, Sheena, and his maternal uncle. In ‘Har Ghar Barood’ and ‘Munpun Ka Khiladi’, we see that Vinay is desperate to save Sheena by risking his life and telling her the truth.
Professor (Mamaji): Creator and Guide of Nuclear Power
Vinay’s maternal uncle is the scientist who created the ‘nuclear suit’. He plays the role of a father, teacher, and technical adviser to Vinay.
• Scientific contributions: He gave Vinay the belt and wristbands with which he can create atomic blasts, fly, and reduce his size to that of a molecule (atom).
• Introduction: Mamaji often instructs Vinay through wireless messages in the pages of the comics. When Parmanu gets caught in Aatishbaaz’s trap and becomes a ‘living sparkler’, Mamaji tells him about the technical solution—the voice activator and molecular compactor. He is always worried about Vinay’s safety.
Sheena (aka ‘Bomb’): Love, Sadness, and Unique Psychic Powers
Sheena is the most important and complicated character in Parmanu’s world. She is Vinay’s girlfriend, but her past is very painful.
• Birth of powers: Sheena’s parents worked at the ‘Shivakashi Firecracker Factory’. During a terrible fire and explosion, Sheena saw her parents burning and becoming paralysed before her eyes. This trauma activated the neurons in her brain to such an extent that she gained ‘telepathic powers’ and ‘explosive powers’. She can trigger an atom-like explosion on any target with her thoughts alone.
• Ajgar Patel’s hunt: The ‘Bomb’ comic shows how Ajgar Patel tried to exploit Sheena’s powers by kidnapping her and imprisoning her inside a ‘security shield’ (special suit), created with the help of scientists to suppress her powers.
• Emotional conflict: Sheena is often misled by villains. In ‘Har Ghar Barood’, she attacks Parmanu, blaming him for the destruction of her family, but her love for Vinay ultimately helps her see the truth.
Probot : The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Companion of Parmanu
Probot is a small flying robot that remains attached to Parmanu’s suit. It is Parmanu’s most loyal ‘technical friend’.
• Tasks: Probot’s main job is to recognize Parmanu’s voice, ‘transmit’ it to the suit, and check the data.
• Importance: When Parmanu is unable to move in ‘Aatishbaaz’, Probot becomes the only way to connect him to the ‘fusion chamber’ and save his life. Despite being a machine, it shows loyalty towards Vinay.
Mamta Pathak: Symbol of an Unbreakable Friendship
Mamta is a trusted friend of Vinay and Sheena. She often comes forward when Sheena needs emotional support. Vinay often entrusts Mamta with the responsibility of Sheena’s safety. She knows Parmanu’s secret identity and acts as a strong source of support.
Delhi Police and Society
Vinay’s colleagues in the police department and the people of Delhi are also part of his family. Parmanu considers Delhi his home, and comics like ‘Aatishbaaz’ show how he throws himself into the flames to save members of the general public, such as an independent candidate contesting the elections.
Enemies of Parmanu: Merchants of Terror, Gunpowder, and Hatred
Parmanu’s enemies are not ordinary thieves. They are sharp-minded masterminds who challenge Parmanu’s scientific powers.
Ajgar Patel: Parmanu’s Arch-Enemy and Mastermind
Ajgar Patel is the biggest villain in Parmanu’s world. He is a criminal who can go to any extent for power and politics.
• Strategy: Ajgar Patel believes in ‘psychological warfare’ rather than getting into battle himself. He sowed the seeds of hatred against Parmanu in Sheena’s (Bomb) heart. He convinced her that it was Parmanu who had set fire to her parents’ factory.
• Political conspiracy: In ‘Aatishbaaz’, Ajgar Patel gives money to criminals like Aatishbaaz to stop the Delhi elections and spread fear throughout the city. His main objective is to mentally break Parmanu and destroy Delhi’s security system.
Aatishbaaz (The Pyro-Technician): Mute, Deaf, and a Dealer of Death
This villain emerged as one of the biggest challenges for Parmanu. He is a criminal who has been playing with gunpowder and chemicals since childhood.
• Speciality: Aatishbaaz is mute and deaf. He can only hear Patel’s voice with the help of a special device (Super Walkie-Talkie) given to him by Ajgar Patel.
• Weapons: He has a ‘sparkle glider’ that rains burning embers as he flies through the air. He applied a coating to Parmanu’s body that turned him into a ‘living sparkler’. His chemicals are based on ‘quick-dry’ technology, which causes them to solidify and explode as soon as they come into contact with air.
• Purpose: He wants to turn Delhi into a ‘city of destruction’. His hateful nature makes him as dangerous as a machine.
Cobra Patel: The First Link in the Chain of Hatred
Cobra Patel is Ajgar Patel’s brother. Cobra was the person who started illegal operations at the ‘Shivakashi Factory’. When Parmanu (Vinay) took action against him, Cobra was killed in a fire that broke out during the incident. To avenge his death, Ajgar Patel used all his strength against Parmanu. Cobra Patel is often mentioned to connect the links to Parmanu’s past.
Corrupt Scientists and Power-Hungry People
In Parmanu’s stories, scientists often appear who want to capture him on the pretext of conducting research on Parmanu or Bomb (Sheena) at ‘Vigyan Bhawan’. These people have no morality and want to use technology to enslave the world. In the ‘Bomb’ comic, scientists kept Sheena in a semi-conscious state so that her energy could be used to create bombs.
Political Criminals (Troublemakers in the Elections)
In the ‘Aatishbaaz’ series, we find tension between parties like the ‘VJP’ and ‘Congress-B’, along with mentions of independent candidates such as Babbu Bhaiya and Lalbabu. By attacking these candidates, the villains want to shake Delhi’s democratic system. Ajgar Patel wants to take advantage of these political movements and establish himself as a powerful figure.
The Battle of Ideologies Between Parmanu and His Enemies
Parmanu’s villains often tell him, “You also cause the same destruction as we do; you just call it law.” But Parmanu’s answer is always clear—his powers are for ‘security’, not for ‘destruction’. The contest between Aatishbaaz and Parmanu is a contest between ‘science used for good’ and ‘destructive gunpowder’.
