Golden Age Origin
Jethro Dumont, a rich resident of New York City,spent ten years in Tibet studying to be a lama (a Buddhist guru) and learning many mystical secrets in the process. He receives his Green Lama powers by reciting the mantra "om mani padme hum." Dumont is also endowed with superhuman powers acquired through his scientific knowledge of radioactive salts. Dumont has two alter egos - the crime-fighting Green Lama, and the Buddhist priest Dr Pali.
