Kid Colt

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. He traveled to many places in the West, trying to do what was right in fighting crime, and striving to stay out of the long arms of the law.

During his travels, Kid Colt had incredible adventures and made many friends in the process. His reputation started to grow, and he even teamed up with many other famous heroes of the West. A few of these where the Two-Gun Kid, the famous Rawhide Kid (who met each other first as advisories), Arizona Annie (a girl whom he was romantically involved with, and whom sometimes traveled by his side), Night Rider (also known as Phantom Rider) and Ringo Kid. Although Cold remained close friends to most of these people, his methods stood out among the others as a bid more daring or even more violent. Because of this he always remained sort of an outsider to the other famous gunslingers of the time and he mostly went on adventure solo. During his Out-Law days, Kid Colt also faced many advisories. In his early days as a gunslinger, it where mostly bandits or murderers he faced. But as his reputation grew, stranger and more fantastic enemy's became part of his rogue-gallery, such as the Iron Mask, a man wrapped in Iron. Colt also remained a loner in his love-life, but did have a sometimes on, sometimes off relationship with Arizona Annie, a female adventurer with a similar attitude.

At a certain point, Kid Colt became part of a time-war. A time-traveling villain and enemy to the modern-day superhero team the Avengers, named Kang returned to the past of the Wild West, in order to defeat the Mighty Avengers. Kid Colt and his fellow however found out about this, and when the Avengers followed Kang back in time, the gunslingers teamed-up with the Avengers and defeated the villain. The day was saved, but Colt's sometimes gunslinger team-mate, the Two-Gun Kid, chose to travel back to the future with the Avengers.

He was a skilled gunfighter and horseman. He rode a horse named Steel.

Kid Colt wielded two Colt .45 pistols. He also occasionally used a lariat.
