Background:
The Burland family has been fighting crime for centuries in the collective guise of the Black Hood. The first Black Hood was a European who donned a mask and black cloak and used his sword to battle intrigue in "a small European kingdom" in the 1700s. The next to wear the mask was that man's nephew, who became the Black Hood in North Africa in 1837 to break up slave rings. Matt Burland continued the tradition a century later, cleaning up "vice an' corruption" in Texas in 1937; concurrently, New Yorker Kip Burland reigned as the Black Hood from the '40s to '60s.

In the '70s, Kip's cousin, also named Kip Burland, became so disenchanted with his losing battle against organized crime that he took time off to visit his beloved Uncle Matt, a retired lawman. Learning that Matt was secretly a Black Hood, Kip is forced to face fact that "the law is hamstrung" and, accepting Matt's uniform as a gift, becomes the newest Black Hood.
