[edit] Character Biography

Jonathan Crane was always interested in the use of fear to trigger obedience in test subjects. Embittered at being derided for his theories and fired from his job, Crane now dresses in the macabre rags of a scarecrow and uses his fear-inducing chemicals to force innocent people to bow to his will. The Scarecrow also has an increased arsenal of chemical weapons and a biplane that can drop bombs that contain his fear toxin on his enemy's vehicles.
