Who is Kid Colt?

Origin A Gunslinger is born Kid Colt was a nickname for Blaine Colt, a cowboy who was renowned for his quick draw and temper. He lived a relatively easy and peaceful life until his father was murdered by bandits. Colt was furious and devastated with grief over his father's murder and sought to find those responsible. When he finally found the murders, he challenged them to a gunfight. Kid Colt won and killed his father's killers. However, he was wrongly accused of murder when he did this, even though it was a fair gunfight (which was not illegal in the Wild West during this period). He was branded an "Outlaw" and got a price on his head. From that point on, Colt was on the run for the law wherever he went.
