The Green Hornet is a superhero created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, for a radio show in the United States in the 1930s, which subsequently leaped to other media including film, television (1967 series), and comics. Britt Reid is the owner of the newspaper "Daily Sentinel" where he has access to important information that allows him to know the criminal world and attack them as the Green Hornet accompanied by his bodyguard Kato (who was played by Bruce Lee in the TV series). Reid has ensured that the image of the Green Hornet is an enemy of society, allowing him to more easily infiltrate in criminal organizations.
