The Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger is a fictional masked former Texas Ranger who roams the American Old West fighting injustice. His origin story typically depicts him as the sole survivor of an ambush where his fellow Rangers, including his brother, were killed.

Nursed back to health by Tonto, a Native American who becomes his lifelong companion, the Ranger dedicates his life to bringing criminals to justice. He conceals his identity behind a black mask crafted from his brother's vest.

He rides a white stallion named Silver and uses silver bullets as a symbol of justice and a reminder to use them wisely. His catchphrase, "Hi-yo, Silver, away!" is iconic.

While his real name varies depending on the adaptation, he is often identified as John Reid. A man driven by a strong moral compass, the Lone Ranger represents law and order in a lawless land, fighting for the weak and oppressed.
