With # 5 the Doc Savage of the comic stops resembling the Doc of the pulps and becomes a completely different character, one based on a short lived radio series of the time in which a man, also known as Dr. William Clark Savage crashes his plane in Tibet where he finds a hood possessing a blue gem that gives him various superpowers including flight, the ability to shoot power beams and super strength.
This is also the version of Doc that later returns to The Shadow Comics, Monk, Ham and the others are after that missing.
