The Lone Ranger started as a radio show in the 20s or 30s, I believe, and a TV series in the 50s with re-runs well into the 60s. The Lone Ranger was a Texas ranger (think cowboy cop) who rode around on a horse called Silver with a Native American sidekick named Tonto, righting wrongs, catching bad guys, and doing good deeds for needy people across the American West. He dressed in fancy cowboy clothes and always wore a mask. When he was finished, he would just ride away and leave a silver bullet behind. Sort of an early super hero without super powers. Clayton Moore played him on the TV show.
