Vrai nom Don Diego de la Vega (véritable identité)
Zorro (mot qui signifie « renard » en espagnol) est un personnage de fiction créé en 1919 par Johnston McCulley (1883-1958) : c'est un justicier masqué vêtu de noir qui combat l'injustice dans la ville de Los Angeles, en Californie espagnole (Alta California) (1769-1821) au sein de la Nouvelle-Espagne, à l'époque où Monterey en était la capitale. Son costume entièrement noir comprend une cape, un chapeau connu sous le nom de sombrero cordobés, et un masque domino qui couvre la partie supérieure de son visage. Ce personnage a inspiré des romans, des bandes dessinées, des films, des séries télévisées, des dessins animés, des jeux et d'autres héros masqués tels que Batman chez DC Comics (du propre aveu du dessinateur Bob Kane) ou El Aguila chez Marvel Comic. Biographie
In "The Curse of Capistrano", Don Diego Vega becomes Señor Zorro in the pueblo of Los Angeles in California "to avenge the helpless, to punish cruel politicians", and "to aid the oppressed." He is the title character, as he is dubbed the "Curse of Capistrano."
The story involves him romancing Lolita Pulido, an impoverished noblewoman. While Lolita is unimpressed with Diego, who pretends to be a passionless fop, she is attracted to the dashing Zorro. His rival is Captain Ramon. Other characters include Sgt. Pedro Gonzales, Zorro's enemy but Diego's friend; Zorro's deaf and mute servant Bernardo; his ally Fray (Friar) Felipe; his father Don Alejandro Vega; and a group of noblemen (caballeros) who at first hunt him but are won over to his cause.
In later stories, McCulley introduces characters such as pirates and Native Americans, some of whom know Zorro's identity.
In McCulley's later stories, Diego's surname became de la Vega. In fact, the writer was wildly inconsistent. The first magazine serial ended with the villain dead and Diego publicly exposed as Zorro, but in the sequel the villain was alive, and the next entry had the double identity still secret.
Several Zorro productions have expanded on the character's exploits. Many of the continuations feature a younger character taking up the mantle of Zorro.
Although McCulley's stories were set in Los Angeles during the era of Mexican rule (between 1821 and 1846), some movie adaptations of Zorro's story have placed him during the earlier Spanish era.Ses meilleurs films
