Since 1965, Mexicans of all ages have enjoyed a comic book called
Kaliman El hombre incredible (The incredible man). Kaliman is handsome,
powerful, and super-hero. Kaliman, whose native country is unspecified,
became an orphan while a young boy. Afterward, he was educated by Lamas
in Tibet, but his adventures are not confined to Asia, in fact, he roams the
universe crusading for justice. His adversaries are plunderers, mad scientist,
vampires and various other villians. They commit outrageous crimes against
the innocent and oppressed, and at times, they plot to destroy Kaliman
himself by using poison or deadly weapons. The victim, whom he defends
often, has a beautiful daughter who falls in love with Kaliman; nevertheless
he always treats women as innocent persons who should never be hurt or
dishonored occasionally; however, his life is threatened by an exotic
 villainess with magic powers. Kaliman is not a typical comic book hero
defeating injustice with his physical strength or ability to dodge bullets and
leap from mountains; instead, he depends mainly on his remarkable powers
of mind and great learning to outwit his enemies. He never tries to kill a
villain in the most desperate circumstances. He uses a blowgun whose darts
induce sleep for several hours.
