As a young child, Jonathan Crane was subjected to sick and twisted experiments with fear conducted by his own father. Emotionally scarred and mentally unstable from the ordeal, Crane spent his childhood living in fear until he made an important realisation!’ If he could control fear, it would never control him again. Over time, this interest in fear became an obsession. With a doctorate in psychology and specialising in phobias, Jonathan began experimenting on others, exposing them to a hallucinogenic fear toxin he had developed that induced their worst nightmares. Although Batman has developed a number of remedies to counteract these toxins, Crane is constantly improving his formula and creating more potent and deadly versions.
