Biography
Lance Temple
According to one account, Lance Temple was the father of Zane Temple, a retired US Marshall. One day while Lance was still young an outlaw named Link Cado came after his father for sending him to jail years before. During the gunfight at the Temple ranch, Lance's mother was killed by a stray bullet and Zane was blinded when he was shot in the back. The battle was quickly turned thanks to the timely arrival of Emilio Diaz and Red Hawk who drove Cado and his men. Lance was raised by his blind father with the help of Emilio and Red Hawk who taught him how to ride and shoot. As an adult, Lance made a vow to his father never to use guns against his fellow man. However after hearing that Link Cado and his men were nearby decided to do something about it. With Emilio and Red Hawk's blessing and a new horse named Thunder Lance disguised himself as the Outlaw Kid and slew Cado and his men to avenge his family. (Outlaw Kid v1 #1) However, these origins have been proved to be false, and they are in fact nearly identical to a seemingly unrelated hero known as the Texas Kid. (Texas Kid v1 #1)
In reality, Lance Temple was a veteran of the Civil War who returned home to live with his father, Hoot, while working as a frontier lawyer and helping out on the family ranch. Later, the two Temple men were riding together when they were ambushed by outlaws with Hoot being blinded when a keg of dynamite exploded nearby. Lance was going to hunt down the men who had blinded his father, but Hoot made Lance promise that he would never use again use a gun, insisting that it was violence that had injured him and he didn't want a similar or worse fate to befall his son. Lance found himself unable to keep his promise, however, and created the identity of the Outlaw Kid so that he could fight evil without his father ever finding out. (Outlaw Kid v2 #10)
