Biography
Jonathan Crane developed an interest in human fears and phobias in his youth. This was due to being abused by his fanatically religious grandmother, who locked him in a dilapidated church full of crows. He was also bullied and mistreated by other teens because of his scrawny appearance and clothes. Called names such as Scarecrow and Ichabod Crane, the cowardly protagonist from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Jonathan swore to completely eliminate his sense of fear. Eventually becoming a professor of psychology at Gotham State University, as well as being a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, Dr. Crane soon began conducting experiments on his students and patients. Eventually, his fixation on fear's gripping power became very dangerous, resulting in his dismissal from the profession. As a result, Crane then turned to a life of crime and continued his fear experiments by all means of criminal activity. He did so through the use of drugs, chemicals, devices, and his expertise in psychology. He also created a frightening costumed; The Scarecrow. Due to his desire to transform his object of ridicule into his object of terror. His mask even served dual functions, it both enhanced the effects of his hallucinogens on others while shielding him from the toxin. Though he eventually builds up an immunity to his own formula.

Portrayed by
Robert Englund (Live Action)
Dwight Schultz (Animation Voice-Over)
