Spiderman Inventor Stan Lee's Firm Launches Superhero NFT Collectibles
BeyondLife.club along with GuardianLink on Friday collectively announced the Chakraverse limited edition NFT collection, in partnership with Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment, Graphic India and Orange Comet.
Latching onto the long-standing superhero craze and seeding a Bollywood connection into the Hollywood world, this launch is inspired by one of the legend’s first international superhero creations—Chakra The Invincible. This unique collection marks a monumental movement to introduce NFTs simultaneously into the global NFT ecosystem in the US, India and around the world, as per official statement.
As part of the unique Chakraverse NFT collection, Orange Comet, in collaboration with GuardianLink.io, a global NFT technology company, will be auctioning an exclusive collectable series of 7,000 unique generative Chakraverse art pieces based on the characters from the comics.
In 2012, Stan Lee discussed Chakra The Invincible, saying, “I have always been fascinated by Indian culture. It’s so philosophical and rich in tradition and morality. I've written countless superheroes of every nationality and every part of the world before, I’ve even created many heroes from other planets and galaxies, but Chakra The Invincible is the first superhero I am creating specifically for the Indian market. My goal with Chakra is simple—I want to bring an Eastern concept like the chakras to the world via the Western genre of superheroes.”
Keyur Patel, Co-founder and Chairman of GuardianLink.io and BeyondLIfe.Club, said, “We are thrilled to be part of this collaboration to launch this exclusive global NFT drop based upon the characters co-created by the legendary Stan Lee. The NFT space in India is growing faster than expected with the rise in Bollywood celebs joining the bandwagon. Given the nature of the industry where NFT represents value as an asset, our newly launched Anti-RIP technology makes it stand apart from the industry clutter in terms of protection and security. With our AI-based algorithmic auctioning engine we have created one of the most unique compositions to run this NFT auction globally.”
“Stan was always so captivated and intrigued by emerging technology,” said Gill Champion, President of Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment. “Inspired by his fascination with new trends, we are honoured to connect Stan’s fans to his first Indian superhero in an exciting new way with the Chakraverse NFT collection.”
“As a company, Orange Comet has been able to work with some of the world’s most incredible IP, but it is truly an honour to take an icon like Stan Lee’s work and reimagine it as an NFT collectable,” said Dave
Broome, CEO of Orange Comet said that we are thrilled to share this exciting opportunity with Stan Lee fans from New York to New Delhi and beyond.
“As a young child, Stan Lee’s work shaped my life and spoke to me in a way that no other author or creator ever has, and probably ever will. To be able to create a superhero with Stan was like being asked to paint a canvas with Da Vinci or write a poem with Shakespeare—it was quite simply one of the greatest joys of my life,” said Devarajan, Co-founder and CEO of Graphic India.
In the same way, the original superhero created by Lee and Devarajan brought together audiences in the US and India, the NFT strategy for this special collection has been led by Orange Comet, a leading entertainment NFT technology company specializing in producing dynamic NFT and blockchain experiences for some of the most valuable intellectual property assets in the world of sports, music, art, and entertainment, in partnership with GuardianLink.io and BeyondLife.Club, one of the first companies to pioneer in building India’s largest NFT auction ecosystem.
The Chakraverse NFT collection will go up for auction on Monday, December 27 at 9 PM EST, Tuesday, December 28 at 7:30 AM IST and close on Wednesday, December 29. Meanwhile, the pre-registration is available now on its official website.
Chakra The Invincible tells the story of Raju Rai, a young Indian student living in Mumbai. Determined to unlock the secrets of human potential through science, Raju and his mentor, the scientist Dr Singh, develop a technology suit that activates the mystical chakras of the body, unleashing superhuman abilities and powers. When Raju is accidentally bonded to the suit, he vows to use his newfound abilities to protect the city.
