Rick Horne is a reporter and love interest of Linda Turner. Initially, Horne is employed as a reporter for the Los Angeles Globe. In later appearances, he works for a Hollywood trade paper as a columnist. Near the end of the series, Horne also had a radio broadcast, where he broadcasts news and entertainment interviews. Horne is aggressive and seemingly fearless, often using his fists to escape hazardous situations or to subdue criminals. Though his fighting prowess is surpassed by The Black Cat, he is often a help to her. Horne was mistrustful of Black Cat at first, and denigrated her efforts to bring Garboil to justice. However, as they worked together more often, Horne was impressed with Black Cat’s ability and began to view her as an efficient force against crime, and an attractive fantasy woman. At the same time, Horne struck up a casual friendship with Linda Turner, without realizing her secret identity. Their relationship grew over the years, to the point where the two began to date and maintained a tenuous commitment. But Horne was more attracted to the mysterious Black Cat than to the glamorous Linda Turner, and Linda seemed determined to keep the reporter at arm’s length until he chose her over her alter ego.
