Powers and abilities

Bhokal can summon the 'Bhokal-Shakti', the power of his teacher, Mahaguru Bhokal, by hailing his name in battle, shouting 'Jai Mahaguru Bhokal'. He acquires super-human physical attributes, apart from receiving the mystical Sword and Shield of his master. The Sword is capable of cutting through most of the then-known materials and elements, making it one of the greatest weapons of its time. It can also be used to emit 'Jwala-Shakti', a mystical fire from its edge, which is known to burn away almost anything in a matter of seconds. The Shield is capable of blocking any physical or supernatural attack and also allows its wielder to fly via the Shield. He once wielded the weapon Prahara on his forehead, in memory of its previous owner and Bhokal's deceased wife, Turin. It granted him psychic powers.

Family, friends, and allies

Bhokal married thrice; first with Turin and then Rupsi(who could communicate with animals) and Saloni(a skilled archer). Although he never loved the other two as much as he loved Turin, bound by vow to protect them, he can never leave them. Turin was the owner of the magical weapon prahara . Turin was killed by Himraj in the Himalayan valleys. Bhokal was out in the battlefields fighting for his adopted country and could not save her. Later in Saat Sawaal he goes in search of her soul and finally he gets back his beloved Turin in Laut Aayi Turin. His friend Shootan was the sammohan-samrat...who could hypnotise anyone and anything with his eyes. He married Venu who started her career as a child-kidnapper but after falling in love with Shootan transformed herself for the better and then fought many a battle alongside her husband, Bhokal, Turin, etc., she carried a flute that could mesmerise anybody and get converted into a battle axe if summoned. Shootan was killed by his enemies in Chitaghati. But after many years he came back in Ghar Aaya Shootan when Bhokal's uncle tried to take over his homeland and in the process resurrected Shootan as to kill Bhokal but eventually Shootan freed from his will and thus returend completely as older self.In "Sammohan Ghat" the royal warlock Tillu tried to impersonate Shootan as enemy of Vikasnagar but eventually caught. Another friend Atikrur, the wielder of the dantak has the strength of 10 elephants and can flatten mountains with his blows. He married Peku Pakodia but later on his appearances with Bhokal dwindled after he went back to his planet. His other friends and allies include the magician Tilli, his guide Gajo-Bajo, the man with the power of totems - Totka and the children of King Vikasmohan and Rani Mohini.

Presently Bhokal's parental origins are being explored in the latest issues starting from 'Dhikkar' where Bhokal looses his powers as a result of a conspiracy planned by his master and mentor Mahaguru Bhokal.
