As a result, the owner of the Colorado and Texas Line called in some friends, including the Rawhide Kid. At first this war was fought with shovals and pick-axes, but soon the Santa Fe and Pacific brought in hired gunmen. In the late 1870's the Rawhide Kid became involved in the Railroad Wars between the mighty Santa Fe and Pacific Railroad and the small Colorado and Texas Line. The Rawhide Kid even allied himself with members of the hero team Avengers who visited his time period. The Rawhide Kid joined forces with other legendary gunfighters, including Kid Colt, the Phantom Rider, and the Two-Gun Kid. Among the most notorious or unusual of his many adversaries were the Cougar, the original Red Raven, the Ape, the Tyrant of Tombstone Valley, the Masked Maverick, Marko the Manhunter, and the strange alien called the Living Totem. The Rawhide Kid continued to defend the weak and helpless and to battle criminals. As they were taken away by the sheriff, Johnny left Rawhide to fight men like Hawk and Spade, taking the name of the Rawhide Kid so that no one would forget Ben Bart and what happened in the town that was once his home. Johnny confronted Hawk and Spade and outdrew them both, shooting each of them in the arm before they could fire. He soon found the two men in Rawhide, boasting of their accomplishment.

Johnny found Ben upon his return and buried him, with a vow to avenge him. Hawk then shot him dead for the bragging rights and the prestige he thought would come from it. While Hawk confronted Ben and forced him to draw, Spade then called out from behind Ben, distracting him.

A pair of gunslingers named Hawk and Spade drifted through Rawhide with the intention of proving something. Ben hoped that Johnny would never have to use what he had learned, and Johnny intended only to use his skills for self-defense, if at all. Living on a spread of land outside of Rawhide, Texas, Johnny learned gunplay from Ben, who was one of the fastest draws in the area. It is uncertain, however, whether or not Ben was actually related, as he has been referred to as both "Uncle Ben" and "a lonely ranger" despite this, Johnny regarded him as a father and deeply cared for him. His parents killed and one brother taken hostage, the other fled entirely, Johnny was adopted by his uncle Ben. Johnny Bart was born Johnny Clay, but his family was quickly devastated during an Indian raid.
