Fictional crime fighter, John Reid, is better known by what name?

"The Lone Ranger" is a fictional masked former Texas Ranger who fought outlaws in the American Old West with his Native American friend, Tonto. The character has been called an enduring icon of American culture.

He first appeared in 1933 in a radio show. The radio series proved to be a hit and spawned a series of books, an equally popular television show that ran from 1949 to 1957, comic books, and several movies.

The basic story is as follows: "The Lone Ranger" (John Reid) was the sole survivor of a group of six Texas Rangers that were led by his brother, Captain Dan Reid. They were ambushed by a band of outlaws led by Bartholomew "Butch" Cavendish. A Native American named Tonto stumbles onto the grisly scene. He discovers one of the rangers, Captain Reid's younger brother, John, barely alive, and he nurses the man to health. John Reid tells Tonto that he intends to hunt down Cavendish and his men and to bring them to justice. To conceal his identity and honor his fallen brother, John fashions a black domino mask using cloth from his late brother's vest. To aid in the deception, Tonto digs a sixth grave and places at its head a cross-bearing John Reid's name so that Cavendish and his gang will believe that all six of the Rangers had been killed.
