life to claim vengeance and fight
injustice in the Old West
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at the origins of Jon
REEP otherwise known as The Lone Ranger
a man whose presence brought fear to the
lawless and hope to those who want to
make this frontier land their home he
was known as The Lone Ranger
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 2006 is Lone Ranger
omnibus number one a superhero that
first appeared on the radio in 1933 The
Lone Ranger
eventually spawned a successful comic
strip comic book television series and
several films in fact the height of the
characters popularity took place during
the 1940s and 50s interestingly it was
only half a century later in 2006 when
he received his most in-depth and best
recognized origin story in this gritty
and graphic comic series The Lone Ranger
was introduced as being the youngest of
a family of Texas Rangers growing up to
be just like his father and brother he
worked alongside them and three other
Rangers together on one fateful
afternoon the group was chasing down a
small-time thief named Collins when they
were led into a narrow canyon getting
caught in the middle of an ambush the
group was shot to death
when one of the masked gang members came
into the canyon to loot the bodies he
was surprised to discover that John had
somehow survived before the job could be
finished a Native American appeared from
nowhere and flung an arrow through the
bandits neck approaching John the
mysterious native puzzled over how the
Ranger had survived such extensive
wounds passing out
John soon awoke believing that the
ambush had been a nightmare instead he
soon realized that it had in fact
happened and that his new native friend
had patched him up and removed all the
bullets why am I covered in dirt I
better heed you why am i alive when
John’s fever finally broke his new
friend took him to the freshly dug
graves of his family and friends and
introduced himself as Tonto at this
point John made it clear that his
intentions were to get revenge and find
those responsible as it turned out a hit
man named Julius had already executed
Collins to keep him quiet about the
assassination as they had the same boss
tying up loose ends
Julius tracked down the site of the
shooting where he found the graves the
Tonto had dug digging them up to make
sure that the job was done he discovered
that John’s grave had been left empty
meanwhile Tonto pledged to help the
Ranger claim his vengeance and provided
him with items he had salvaged from a
shooting with John and Tonto returning
to his family home and the grave of his
mother
John donned his new mask wishing to work
alone he knocked Tonto unconscious
before burning down his childhood home
and riding off to Collins’s farm on
tantos horse there he found Collins’s
dead body
Tonto soon caught up with him and voiced
his displeasure at being betrayed and
suggested that they would need to buy
John his own horse meanwhile it was
revealed that a man named butch
Cavendish had been behind the scheme he
had ordered the Rangers killed to
facilitate his plan of ruling the
criminal underworld
controlling the railroad running for
public office and eventually becoming
the most powerful man in Texas the only
loose end in his way was The Lone Ranger
that had survived the massacre soon
enough John and Tonto faced off against
the assassin Julius atop a train
defeating the killer they found out who
was truly responsible and set out to
finish what they had started making a
pact with Tonto the two decided on a
single rule that would keep them from
become
like their enemies they pledged to not
kill at the same time tanto gave John
the new name of Kemosabe meaning
faithful friend following the successful
and rather graphic reintroduction the
story was adapted as a live-action film

reintroduce the tale to a mainstream
audience and starred Arne hammer as John
Mead and Johnny Depp as his friend and
spirit warrior partner Tonto alright
