A
strange individual, this Doc
Savage.
Probably one of the most remarkable of living men. A genius, a mental
marvel
a giant of fabulous physical strength. He was literally a product of
science
himself, for he had been trained from birth for one single purpose in
life-
the fantastic career which he now followed. Every trick of science had
been utilized in his training. In no sense had he led a life that might
be regarded as normal. Two hours of each day since childhood had been
devoted
to a routine of intense exercises calculated to develop not only
muscles,
but physical senses and mental sharpness. All of his early life had
been
devoted to study under masters of trades, sciences, professions, until
he possessed a knowledge that was, to the ordinary man, uncanny.
The result
of this studied
upbringing
was an individual who was a remarkable combination of scientific genius
and physical capacity. Stranger than even the man himself was the
career
to which his life was dedicated- the business of helping others out of
trouble, of aiding the oppressed, of dealing with those evildoers who
seemed
beyond the touch of the law. For all of which Doc Savage made it an
unbending
rule to accept no payment in money, under any circumstances.
Long
ago, Doc Savage had
assembled
five men as his assistants, five men who were world-famed specialists
in
their respective lines. A desire for excitement and adventure, and a
profound
admiration for the astounding bronze man who was their chief, held the
little group together. Some men crave money, others works of art, and
some
go in for society - these five specialized in trouble. There was plenty
of that around Doc; his path was always that of peril, danger and
thrilling
adventure!
