[edit] Origin

Suraj was an orphan who was found as an infant in a rubbish dump by Daku Halkan Singh, a ruthless Dacoit, who brought him up, but treated him like a dog (and called him that). While in Halkan's care, the child witnessed endless horrors that would ultimately lead to his becoming a sociopath.

Eventually Halkan abandoned him, and Suraj's life took a turn for the better when he met Adrak Chacha (Hindi word for paternal uncle) and his brothers. Adrak allowed the child to make use of his gym (Lion Gym) for weightlifting helping him to build his muscle mass. He was also given training in martial arts under Haldi Khan (one of Adrak's brothers), boxing under Dhania Khan, and marksmanship under Kalimirchi Khan (the youngest brother).

Suraj became Doga because of a personal tragedy that befell his "family" sometime later. A former member of the gym, Killota, set up his own place, and tried to eliminate his rivals permanently. Suraj was the only survivor of a carnage perpetrated by hired goons.

To seek revenge, Suraj adopted the alter ego of Doga, wearing a dog mask to hide his identity. He killed Killota's gang and further set out to become a one-man army against organized crime, mainly in Mumbai.

After that he killed Daku Halkan Singh who has by then become Minister Halkat.

[edit] Friends

Doga(Suraj) on his journey made many friends, some of these actually know about his real identity, those are Inspector Cheetah (now retired, working as private detective) and Cheetah's sister Monika. also it has been revealed in the later issues of doga that suraj belongs to judge chowdhary s family further adding kiran as his sister who is one of his allies and knows his secret identity.

In a later story it was revelead that Monika is actually Suraj's lost lover Sonu, who he thinks died many years ago. It was emotionally revealed in a comic "I Love You" along with a novel by the same name.

He has also teamed up with other Raj Comics Superstars like Parmanu, Nagraj, Dhruva, Inspector Steel, Bheria and Shakti.

[edit] Powers

Doga has no special powers except that he is able to communicate with Dogs who help him gain information as he travels the sewers of Mumbai. In combat, he relies on his Martial Arts training, his impressive physical power, which is a result of his years spent in the gym as well as a fairly large arsenal of guns and bombs.

Doga's special characteristic is his renowned hatred for crime and criminals. This factor charges him up equally for every wrong-doer he comes across. hey all villain should get respect so not all are strong enough except doga. though doga has been shown showing no mercy over criminals hence he is hugely popular for his one man army image and slowly and steadily overtaking the number one spot from nagraj in the graphic novel series published by raj comics
