Doga is a hero character appearing in Raj Comics, published and distributed across India. Created by Tarun kumar Wahi, Sanjay Gupta & artist Manu in the year 1992, Doga is the first and the only antihero character in Raj Comics. The character first appeared in the issue Curfew.

Disturbed by his past and the criminal influences on his present life, circumstances forced orphan Suraj to fight against evil or lose everyone he ever loved. To save his loved ones Suraj concealed his identity behind a dog mask, adopted the name Doga and set out to eliminate all the evil against humanity. Doga is a vigilante who believes in "Uprooting the problem rather than solving it". He does not believe in upholding the laws and rules of the world since he considers the whole system corrupt.

Doga is considered to be among the three most popular comic leading characters created by Raj Comics due to his huge fan following. The other two being Nagraj and Super Commando Dhruva.

In August 2008 Indian Film maker Anurag Kashyap declared that will be making a movie on Doga's character in a project produced by Sony International. The movie will be starring Kunal Kapoor in the lead role.[1] Production is expected to begin in the middle of the year 2010.[2] However, the project has been shelved indefinitely.

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.

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 revealed 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, Super Commando Dhruva, Inspector Steel, Bheriya and Shakti.

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 fearlessness, 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 has showed extraordinary pain taking possibility, and never yelled or cried out in pain since he was a child.

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. Doga has been presented showing no mercy towards criminals hence he is hugely popular for his one man army image.
