Shaktimaan's nemesis is Tamraj Kilvish, who is the living embodiment of the evil and dark forces of the world. His alter-ego is a funny geek named Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri, who works as a photographer in a daily newspaper office to maintain his secret identity as Shaktimaan and speaks pure Hindi. Later, it is revealed thatShaktimaan was the rebirth of Shri Satya who had formed the Suryanshi Sect after the war of the Mahabharat 5,000 years ago. Due to his heroic initial works, he is named Shaktimaan by a reporter, Geeta Vishwas. At last, he takes a pledge to finish corruption and injustice in society and fight the evil prevailing in the world. When the five natural elements of life, fire, earth, water, wind and sky invigorated his body, he gains superpowers and becomes a Superhuman. During his training, he also conducted the ritual of death in order to get total control over his powers by entering the holy fire and immersing his physical body in it. He was taught the way to energize the 7 chakras of body through Kundalini Yoga that helped him get mystical and supernatural powers.

To end this, a mystical sect of saints known as 'Suryanshis' chose a man to rise up against all odds and defeat the evil prevailing within society. Since then, greed and hatred has taken over humanity and has been deteriorating it for past 6000 years. Since the dawn of mankind, humanity was at peace until the arrival of KalYuga.
