How did the famous masked Lone Ranger get his name?

Answer 1

In 1874, six Texas Rangers were betrayed by a guide and ambushed at Bryant's Gap. Riding on a canyon floor, they came under rifle fire from a gang of outlaws on the cliffs above. Five died; the sixth was left for dead and would have died that day but for an amazing coincidence: After the shooting was over, an Indian man happened upon the scene of the ambush. The ranger, who was wounded but still clinging to life, had saved that Indian from outlaw raiders a few years earlier, when the two were just boys. The Indian recognized his boyhood companion, carried him to a nearby cave and nursed him back to health. Four days later, the surviving Ranger came to. And he asked his savior what had happened to his comrades. The Indian showed him the graves of the other five Rangers - and did the subtraction. "You only Ranger left," Tonto said. "You Lone Ranger." And he's been The Lone Ranger ever since - on radio, in movies, in novels, on television, in comic books.

Answer 2

Most superheros wear masks to hide their identities. They do this so their enemies will not be able to easily find out who they are and would not be able to harm them or their family and friends.

Or in some cases just to make the outfit cooler ;)
