The lonely ranger is not scary popular with the newer generations - Spectacular failure of the feature film "Lone Ranger" in 2013 He cemented that term - but for many baby boomers, the character is a vital figure of pop culture. For those who may need a refresher, the lonely ranger is a masked vigil that has circled the Old West with its indigenous American compatriot Tonto, writing mistakes on a freelance basis. He had previously been a ranger in Texas (hence his monitor), driving a horse named Silver and sent bad guys with specially made silver bullets.

Lone Ranger first appeared as protagonist on the 1933 radio radio radio, co-created by the Fran fall and George W. Trendl, which aired on WXYZ out of Detroit, Michigan. This radio show was popular enough to guarantee the TV series "Lone Ranger", which is what really inserted the title of the Zeithgiist pop culture because it ran for 221 episode over nine years. Clayton Moore played Lone Ranger for most of the show (Save for a strange interruption when you took Johnon Hart), with Jayei Silverhels, also acts as a tont.

Like Lone Ranger, Superhero Green Hornet-also created by the striker and Trendle-debit at Wxyz, this time in 1936. The Green Hornet, unlike the lonely ranger, was today's figure who used high-tech gadgets to destroy urban villain plans. Similarly, instead of driving a horse, the Green Hornet was riding around in a highly equipped, super-terrifying car with a nickname black beauty. He, however, wore a domino mask to get involved in crime activities, just like the lonely ranger and had his own coach, to raise.

In 1966, after the success of the Batman live TV show, the ABC made a series of "Greetings Hornet" that cemented the place of the Green Hornet and Kato in the awareness of pop culture (with Van Williams playing Hornet and Bruce Lee). Not only that, the Green Hornet is also canonical, the nephew of the lonely ranger.

The story of Lone Ranger's origin is a typical superhero fodder. Legend has it that six stable Texas Rangers, led by heroic captain Dan Reed, were in the wild of the Old West, demanding the dangerous criminal Buch Cavendish. Unexpectedly, Cavendish got the fall of them, killing them all. Later, when Tonto came to the consequences of the killings, he revealed that Dan Reid's younger brother, Johnon, was still alive. After being a nurse of Tonto's health, Johnon then decided to become a lonely vigil to seek justice, shaping the mask of his dead brother's vest.

As is the case, the real name of Green Hornet is Brit Reed. Brit was the son of a wealthy newspaper owner and eventually inherited the newspaper himself. Using his media wealth, he built his high-tech criminal gadgets and infiltrated the urban underground to eradicate the crowd's heads and the like. Police hated the Green Hornet, thinking it was just another criminal. This was contrary to Batman, who worked with the police.

In the original Radio Show "Green Hornet" (specifically in the 1947 episode "too hot to deal with"), it is clear that Brit's rich father is Dan Reid Runior, son of the dead older brother of the lonely ranger. Dan Reid Runior also played a repetitive role in the original Lone Ranger radio series, serving as a teenage coach of his uncle Johnon. He will grow up to have a son named Brit, who was shown as an adult by Johnon Todd on the Green Hornet radio series. (Todd also played the tonto of the original radio show "Lone Ranger".)

Hence, Brit Reed, the Green Hornet, is a canonical nephew of the lonely ranger's brother.

The connection between the lonely ranger and the Green Hornet may be the earliest example - or at least one of the first - the common superhero universe. Such a concept can be felt natural and is expected of modern audiences, but it was not always usual. For example, Superman debuted in Action Comics #1 in 1938, while Batman first appeared in detective comics #27 in May 1939. 1940.

Since then, it has become the usual comic book characters owned by the same company to exist in the universe of stock. They still have their own solo adventures, but they can, in writers' whims, communicate with each other in the crossover stories. For decades, the term common universe has gradually developed in bread and butter and on the comics of DC and Marvel Comics. It also became equally fashionable in Hollywood for the period after Marvel's film universe It started with "IRONEAL PAN" in 2008.

Since Green Hornet debuted in 1936, however, he beat Marvel and DC at the "Share Universe" in a few years. Two Starwater Superhero characters were not only in the same universe, but they were connected, separated only by a generation. Due to the time differential, the lonely ranger and the Green Hornet never communicate, although the two heroes are set as an example of family heritage. Hero in a century, with their righteous actions, would inspire heroism in the next. There's something glorious about it.
