Cover pencils by Dell Barras. Destiny: The Origin of the Green Hornet, Part Two, script by James Van Hise, pencils by Dell Barras, inks by John Stangeland; Despite the agreed upon compromise, Ikano works for Britt I as a manservant, much to the latter's displeasure. Daniel Reid "retires" and makes his son the Publisher of the Sentinel. One of his first decisions is to set up a sting operation against the protection racket, by having two reporters, under phony names, open a newsstand, and they are indeed soon approached. That very night, Britt and Ikano discuss the special car Kato has designed and built secretly in a warehouse near, but seemingly separate from, their townhouse (both, says Britt, were originally the property of a prohibition-era bootlegger, who had included a concealed passageway directly connecting the two). Going into the warehouse and looking at the car, which Britt says is a beauty, they discuss the possibility of disguising themselves and using the vehicle and its very unusual attributes to fight the gangs. When Britt hears the car's horn, it sounds to him just like a giant green hornet he encountered on a trip into the African jungle, inspiring his choice of disguise/cover name.
