Generation Tesla (Serbian: Generacija Tesla) was a Serbian comic book series from 1995 about a superhero team of the same name, published by "Luxor comic" in Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. The comic represented one of the biggest attempts to revive the comic scene in Serbia during the 1990s, after the breakup of Yugoslavia. The first issues were publish together with another "Luxor" comic, "Borci Sumraka" (Twilight Fighters), and were later sold separately. A total of eight issues were publish until the comic was canceled due to distribution problems, despite relatively good sales.

Generacija Tesla was founded by Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest Serbian scientists in history, who has evaded his own death by transferring himself to another plane of existence. He resurrected a number of humans slain by the evil Kobalt, transforming them into super humans who could counter the threats of such villains. Portal's younger brother Misha was a later addition to the team.
Misha is the younger brother of Portal. He has the power to manipulate virtual reality. Misha is the only Generation Tesla character so far to appear in Factor 4, a comic set in the same universe but 60 years into the future. In this comic Misha is an old man hooked up to a computer.
Doctor Marko Nemir ("nemir" means disturbance in Serbian), is an adventurer, the best man of Cybernaut and Barbara. A special issue about Marko Nemir was almost finished but never released.
Ivan Gothic is half man, half vampire. He had a supplemental comic in the fifth episode of Generation Tesla and special issues dedicated to him were planned but never released.
