* DeconReconSwitch: The first 25 issues of Dynamite's deconstructs several elements of the Lone Ranger in the first several issues before slowly reconstructing the character. Starting with his OriginStory, Reid is obviously distraught and angry over the deaths of his father and brother, and seeks out to get revenge instead of dedicating himself towards justice. It's only when he finds that the man who betrayed his family was already dead and with Tonto's suggestions that he starts to consider becoming a hero. Over the course of the comic Reid finds himself facing moral dilemmas, such as whether he should let a mob kill a Mexican immigrant or send him back to Mexico where he will be executed for the crime he committed. His relationship with Tonto is also far more antagonist, as while grateful for his help Reid naturally doesn't know him and as Reid starts to develop a stricter ThouShaltNotKill rule they argue over Tonto's willingness to kill. However as CharacterDevelopment kicks in he and Tonto become close allies, he starts to develop a more clear sense of right and wrong while dedicating himself to fighting criminals in the pursuit of justice, and he becomes far more cheerful as he starts to recover from his tragedy. The final issue shows him abandoning all of the more "realistic" outfits he had worn in the previous issue in favor of the one he wore in the tv show, which shows that the reconstruction is now complete.
