Britt Reid Jr. (Dynamite)

Britt Elijah Reid Jr. or just Britt Reid Jr. is the son of Britt Reid Sr., the original Green Hornet. After losing his father to the Black Hornet, Britt Reid Jr. donned the mantel of his late father to protect Century City as the second Green Hornet, the city's greatest/worst gangster.
The character was created by Kevin Smith for an unmade movie of the Green Hornet that Kevin was supposed to direct. The script was later picked up by Dynamite Entertainment, where Smith assisted Phil Hester and Jonathan Lau in creation of the comic book.
==Biography==
===Origin===
Britt's father gave up the mantel of the Green Hornet after he took down all of the major crime families of Century City. Britt never really appreciated his father, and began to truly despise him after his mother 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.
===Green Hornet II===
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.
Mulan and Britt eventually became a couple, although Mulan expressed that it may have been a mistake. Mulan and her father were then both apparently killed when the Hornet's Nest was destroyed by an arms dealer known as Sergi Gravilov, while Britt himself was left severly injured. Britt eventually came back and took the mantle of the Green Hornet from his former ally Jeffery Hollister, who grew mad with power and became a ruthless vigilante.
While battling Doctor Creepy and a zombiefied version of Jeffery, Mulan resurfaced to help him in the fight. Shortly after Mulan returns, Britt mysteriously disappeared, leading Mulan to take on the mantle of the Green Hornet for a short time until they eventually found Britt.
==Weapons and Equipment==
Britt's suit is bullet proof and houses two hornet dart guns and the Green Hornet medallion on his chest is a tracking devise. After novice training in Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts, Britt still continually trains with Mulan, who is a master in hundreds of martial arts like her father. Britt uses the Street Stinger and Black Beauty for transportation. Britt also has access to numerous tools and gadgets all designed by Clutch Kato.
==Notes==
*This was the version of Britt Reid that was meant to be in the 2011 Green Hornet Film, but it was never fully realized.
**As a result, there are clear similarities between Britt Reid Jr. and the character portrayed by Seth Rogen in said film (minus the legacy aspect).
*It seems like Britt Reid Jr. is gonna be the main character of the Green Hornet animated series that Kevin Smith himself is planning.
