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. With his newfound snake-like powers, the tech-savvy youngster obtains heightened sensory perceptions, ability to camouflage, flexibility, and strength to keep humanity safe from evils. That's not all; his hi-tech superpower suit gives him additional abilities to 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 metamorphosis by a magical stone called the Nagamani (lit. Serpent Gem).
