Britt Reid Jr.

Origin

Britt Jr.'s father, Britt Reid Sr., gave up the mantel of the Green Hornet after he took down all of the major crime families of Century City. Britt Jr. never really appreciated his father, and began to truly despise him after his mother, Britt Sr.'s wife, died of cancer. Over the years, Britt trained in Muay Thai under Dante Pollard and trained in MMA cage fighting, becoming skilled at both but lacking focus.

Britt Jr. had a complete change of character, however, when his father was killed by the Black Hornet. After this, Kato returned and told Britt about his father's secret and their plan to avenge him. Britt Jr. was hesitant to become the Hornet at first, but after stealing a Green Hornet costume to assist Mulan, Kato's daughter, he decided to take up the mantel to gain his vengeance on the Black Hornet. After the Black Hornet's death, Britt and Mulan became the new defenders of Century City as the infamous duo of the Green Hornet and Kato.

Britt also took charge at his father's newspaper the Daily Sentinel.
