Marvel and Manifest Destiny

I was very surprised to see this piece. Comics and conservatism, all in one stop. David Adesnik opines about the adaption on one of America's most popular heroes to the Indian culture in Spider-Man: India. Personally, I haven't looked at this title yet, but Adesnik seems to think that a good job has been done keeping the American themes intact ("With great power comes great responsibilty") but using the more mystical Indian themes for Spider-Man to get his powers.
