At the beginning of the event, it was revealed that Simon Saint had provided Mad Hatter technology to Scarecrow - inadvertently giving him the ability to further experiment with it and utilize it as a way of targeting people's minds. Beginning life as a relatively benign Golden and Silver Age villain, he became an increasingly unsettling figure during the Post-Crisis DC Universe - becoming more twisted and dangerous as the years wore on.Įven though Mad Hatter himself hasn't played much of an active role in the events of Fear State, he's increasingly been shown to have a major impact on it. A delusional genius obsessed with Lewis Carroll's stories about Alice and Wonderland, the Mad Hatter designed a series of hats that could allow him to control the minds of others and attack their psyches. Jervis Tetch - aka the Mad Hatter - was introduced in Batman #49 by Bill Finger and Lew Sayre Schwartz.
