Bullying creates, in some people, a desire to crush it. Often a champion arises - sometimes an imaginary one - whether it be a group of avengers or one superhero. In the pueblo of Los Angeles, California, nearly 200 years ago, a bad behavior had crept in - bullying began.

Then - out of the mystery of the unknown - appeared a boy who promised himself when he grew up, he would always fight the bullies with clever ways and not be a bully himself. He grew up to fight all injustice. He inspired the people to rise up to resist cruelty. 

That man became the first masked superhero... Zorro!
