Everybody loves a good story around a benevolent superhero saving the world, one episode at a time. Growing up, whether you were a die-hard Marvel fan or believed in the creative superiority of DC comics, a fictional character with superhuman powers, regular human by day and vigilante by night was just your cuppa’ tea. But have you ever wondered what would happen if some of our more popular Hollywood superheroes were played by none other than our Desi celebrities?
Lucky for us, the guys at Blah magazine did and out came the “Super Powered Pakistan” series.
