Shaktiman is the first superhero that us Indians got, I knew no BATMANS or SUPERMANS before, Shaktiman was our hero, ideal and the only thing that DD 1 meant for us children.
There were several incidents of children being injured trying to repeat the stunts, so the actor MUKESH KHANNA took responsibility of teaching us good things to cash in on the widespread popularity of the show.
All in all commenting about the quality of the show, it makes me laugh if I see it now, but it had its moments and had a very intriguing storyline which is etched onto our minds. Status Quo which no other indian superhero has been able to match except for maybe Chota Bheem which is nothing compared to the legend which was Shaktiman
