Synopsis:
NOW's third, last, and most extensive set of family trees for the Reid and Kato clans, including several people not posted on the previous versions: the "original" Reid brothers, Daniel Reid, Sr.'s wife, and Hatami Kato's wife and children, as well as the future characters created for the Dark Tomorrow mini-series (no connections are drawn to the future generations, nor are years given for their major life events). Birth, wedding, and death years are given for all where applicable (or known; a question mark is given for the death year of John [The Lone Ranger] Reid). Linda Hawthorne is established as the wife of Dan Sr., and he is given a death year of 1880, thereby dating the "birth" of The Lone Ranger. Head-shots lifted from various issues are displayed for each Hornet and "Associate," with years of the respective careers listed alongside.

Notes:
This feature is the issue's centerspread, between pages 12 and 13 of Sequence 1. The son of Britt II is again incorrectly identified as "Daniel John Reid III," even though this tree explicitly shows that he carries a combination of the names of BOTH "original" Reid brothers, not just his great-great-grandfather's (and great-grandfather's) name, and consequently should carry no suffix at all. Dan Reid, Sr. is given a birth year of 1854, contradicting NOW's very first Green Hornet issue (November 1989)'s flat statement that he served in the Civil War (Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederacy on April 9, 1865; if born on January 1, 1854, Dan Sr. would have been barely three months past his eleventh birthday). Dan Jr.'s birth year is changed from the second tree's 1874 to 1878 (his parents now being said to have married in 1876). His wife's death year is again given as 1944, even though the aforementioned first issue flatly stated she was alive and well--for her advanced years--in 1955, a widow. The second Hornet & Kato team's career is herein said to have begun in 1966, contradicting Green Hornet (NOW, 1989 series) #s 2 & 3's tying its origin to a presidential election campaign (the previously given date was 1968).
