Zorro is 100!

On the 9th of August 1919 was released Johnston McCulley's novel The Curse of Capistrano which has been adaptated on movie the year after starring Douglas Fairbanks as the masked crusader.
The films was a success so the author went to write others stories, then the fox went far in movies (and TV shows, but a lot less than films).

He was my favorite when I was a child! The costumes, the stories, the good one helping the poor people... well, now I undrestand that he can do it only because he was born rich, and that's still incredible than no one see who he is, smarter than Superman!

He has been inspired by people who lived for real like Joaquin Murietta (actually it seems than for one name were in fact 6 men having avenged themselves on white settlers who have had robbed them, the legend grew up then a novel inspired by these popularized the myth) and William Laport (a renegade who was marking his victims with a Z with his blade). Also a english theater series character named The Scarlet Pimpernel.
He has been an inspirtation for DC's Batman and Marvel's El Aquila, and certainly other modern heroes.

So Happy Birthday Zorro!
But... How old is Don Diego?
