That is one of the suggestions that I sent to NOW Comics.  First of all, The 
Original Green Hornet was the Grandnephew of The Lone Ranger.  The Silver Age 
Green Hornet was the Great Grandnephew of the Lone Ranger, and The Modern Age 
Green Hornet(s) were the Great Great Grandnephew(s) of The Lone Ranger.  I 
suggested Introducing a Great Great Grandson of The Lone Ranger, who would be 
the straight across 4th Cousin of The Modern Age Green Hornet, and have him 
pick up an alter ego that is closer to that of The Lone Ranger's, and have 
him based in Texas (Green Hornet would have been located in Detroit), and 
perhap he could introduce a direct descendant of Tonto's, who would join him 
and the Modern Day Lone Ranger & Tonto (That is AS The Modern Age Lone Ranger 
& Tonto).  
I was hoping that we could discover that Alan Reid would have enpragnated and 
giving birth to a son, that would take the mantle in the next age.
 
Johnny Dollars was a great creation, and it would be great to build up a big 
Rogue Gallery for The Green Hornet.  Crimson Wasp was more of a tweener than 
a villian, but Johnny Dollar would be better remembered as the arch-enemy of 
The Green Hornet.
 
I once suggested to have a mini-series for The Crimson Wasp, she was a very 
interesting character, and had the potential of being on the same level as 
Lady Rawhide.
 
I was also very much looking forward to the wedding bells of Hayachi Kato and 
Diana Reid, which we never got to see!
 
I hope perhaps Dark Horse will pick up where NOW left off and give us much 
more wonderful Green Hornet reading.
