Premise
The series revolves around a 13-year-old street-smart wunderkind, Ekans, who is chosen as the one and is gifted a nagamani by the world's most powerful snakes, thanks to his heart of gold and fearless attitude. With extraordinary snake-like powers, the otherwise conventional tech-savvy youngster obtains heightened sensory perceptions, ability to camouflage, flexibility, and strength to keep humanity safe from the evils of the world. That's not all; his trendy hi-tech superpower suit with mechanical snakes gives him additional abilities to cleverly outsmart villains.
The concept of snake-based powers in the series is derived from an old Indian legend revolving around snakes. In the legend, a community of snakes were granted sentience and powers such as metanmorphosis by a magical stone called the Nagamani (lit. Serpent Gem).
