[[AC:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' villain Bane's origin, as revealed in ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}'', was devised as a dark-mirror version of Doc's origin. In ''Knightfall'' he also has a group of henchmen who are parodies of Doc's companions.
* ''ComicBook/{{Marvels}}'': An unnamed Doc Savage appears in a crowd scene.
* ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'': An early issue retells the final world-saving adventure of a group of pulp-era heroes including Axel Brass, who closely resembles the Man of Bronze.
* ''ComicBook/TheRocketeer'': It's implied that Doc Savage is the inventor of the rocket pack. Two of his companions have cameo appearances.
* ''ComicBook/TomStrong'': Tom's upbringing is partly inspired by Doc Savage's.

[[AC:Literature]]
* ''Literature/DocSidhe'' is Doc Savage but he's an elf.
