I guess time and place wise it is more Robin Hood, and they do mention stealing to return the taxes to the poor. Frian Harry is also somewhat like Friar Tuck.
I agree that the Fox was definitely a cross between Robin Hood and Zorro. However, with the setting being the same as the setting of the Robin Hood legend, as well as the fact that the Fox, Lady Loisette, Friar Harry, and Baron Tempos all bear some resemblance to Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, and Prince John, I’ve always considered the Fox to be closer to Robin Hood. In fact, the similarities are so significant that I think it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that within the “Lois and Clark” universe, the Robin Hood legend was based off of the real life adventures of Sir Charles and Lady Loisette.
