Clark Savage Junior, more commonly known as Doc Savage, is a fictional character that first appeared in the pulp magazines of the 1930′s. The character is regarded as possibly the first superhero (as we modern people know the term) due to his origin; which involves Clark being trained since birth by his father and the world’s top scientists to be the perfect human. Possessing bronze-colored skin and near superhuman physical capabilities, Doc Savage is also an expert scientist/detective/inventor/explorer. Aided by five individuals also experts in various fields that he met during the Great War, Doc Savage battled various criminal syndicates, cults and mad tyrants bent on world domination. Many inventions featured in the Doc Savage stories later became real things, such as night-vision goggles, answering machines and even television. Two of the most prominent modern superheroes, Superman and Batman, can even be stated as knock-off versions of the character. The arctic Fortress of Solitude, for example, originally was conceived in the Doc Savage magazine as a place Doc Savage would work on personal projects.
