Shakti is an Indian comic book character, one of a number of titles published by Raj Comics. Her special powers include fire and a third eye. She is similar to Thor from Marvel Comics, who lived as the mortal doctor Donald Blake for a time. Shakti is a transcending incarnation of Kali, the destroyer of demons. She has a raging desire to get justice for women in this man's world. Cries of distress from any woman anywhere in the world transform her into a ferocious killer known as Shakti.

Fictional character biography
Origin
Chanda is the host for the spirit of Shakti. Chanda was an ordinary housewife until she discovered that her husband had been killing her daughters. The monstrosity and injustice of it all opens up the volcano of anger in her, sending the smoke to the heavens. The Goddess Kali uses Chanda's body to transform into Shakti and deliver justice. Chanda killed her husband in the form of Shakti. Chanda keeps herself busy in hospital and social work.
Attributes
Chanda has a third eye, which is the sign of Kali, but she keeps it covered with a headband that she pretends to use to cure her permanent migraine.
As a housewife, Chanda is extremely simple and not very much educated. She lacks sex appeal, due to which she was disliked by her former husband. Her alter ego, Shakti, on the other hand, does not tolerate injustice and crime at all and is also strikingly beautiful. Although considered hotheaded and arrogant, she is gracious enough to generate love in people's hearts for one another. Physically, she is blue in colour, stands 5 feet and 7 inches in height and weighs about 50 kg.
Powers and abilities
Chanda has the power of the anger of women of the world. She can sense any woman's cry and pain in the world and can turn into light and travel at the speed of light. The incredible amount of energy in her, when released, melts all metals and instantly molds it into shapes and designs as projected by Shakti's mind. When she opens her third eye in anger, it beams infernos to burn down the cause of her rage. She is physically the strongest character in the Raj comics universe. She could even carry an airplane with ease and can travel with it at the speed of light. In Trikali, she used time travel to go to the past with her super speed. She also has superhuman strength and endurance.
Enemies
Though she fought most of the other Raj Comics superheroes in her initial comics because of some coincidental misunderstanding, she later became a member of the Brahmand Rakshak, a community of superheroes similar to the Justice League in the DC Universe.
