Kaliman

Kaliman, later stylized Kalimán, is a Mexican radio serial which debuted in 1963 and continued through the 1970s. The title character is a turban wearing crimefighter possessing unusual physical and mental skills, from martial arts mastery and precise control of body and mind to telepathy and hypnosis. He purportedly hails from India and is said to be the seventh man in the dynasty of the goddess Kali (thus the name Kaliman).
Kaliman's serials brought him into conflict with spies and gangsters, but also witches and warlocks, strange cults, and supernatural monsters. In 1965, the series was adapted for a long running comic book line, which were also sold in the United States of America in regions with a significant Spanish speaking populace.
