Revision as of 23:07, 28 September 2017
The Crane serum is a fear drug created by the late Gerald Crane, and utilized by various criminals in Gotham City.
History
After being paralyzed with terror during the burning death of his wife, Dr. Gerald Crane became obsessed with overcoming fear, and thus, began harvesting the adrenal glands of people in high-intensity fear situations, killing these victims with their own phobias, in order to maximize their state of terror at the moment of death.[1]
The glands were used in a serum of distilled cortisol that forced the subject to see their greatest fears, in the hope that seeing said fears would allow them to face and overcome said fears. Crane took the serum himself, and became completely fearless as a result of overcoming his fear, ultimately resulting in his death when he initiated a shootout between himself, Harvey Bullock and James Gordon. As shown with Crane's son, Jonathan, a high enough dose of the serum being injected could force the subject to see their fear constantly.[2]
Hugo Strange took to employing the serum in his procedures at Indian Hill, such as using it on Oswald Cobblepot in order to rehabilitate him and change his personality.[3]
The serum is later recreated when Merton's team force Jonathan Crane into making a new batch for them to use for crimes. Crane updated the serum's formula and made it into a gaseous version. Jonathan eventually uses the formula himself, upon donning the moniker 'The Scarecrow'.
