- —Mister Fear[src]
History
Alan Fagan was born in Madison, Wisconsin. He is the nephew of the third Mister Fear, Larry Cranston. When Larry seemingly died, Alan came into possession of his fear gas and other equipment. Unlike the other Fears, Fagan's primary adversary was Spider-Man, not Daredevil.[1][2]
Fagan attempted to use his fear-gas in blackmail schemes which were stymied by Spider-Man, once with the aid of Hawkeye.[3] Fagan was brutally attacked in prison. Much of the skin was carved from his face by men in the employ of his daughter, Ariel Tremmore, who used the skin to draw out fear-gas residue. She used the residue to turn herself into the villainess Shock, Mistress of Fear.[4]
Fagan recovered from these injuries and received improved weaponry from the interim ruler of Latveria, Lucia von Bardas. The weaponry, including a suit of body armor resembling a metallic version of the traditional Mr. Fear costume, was destroyed.[5]
Fagan was one of the many criminals to escape from the Raft prison facility, becoming a thrall of the villain Crossfire. During his efforts in service to Crossfire, Fagan was again defeated by Spider-Man.[6]
After the super-human Civil War he joined the Hood's criminal army.[7] The team is currently defunct after being defeated by The Avengers during the Siege on Asgard.Attributes

- Fear Gas: Just like other Mr. Fears, Fagan normally uses a gun to fire pellets with Fear Gas at his victims. However, he had also invented other ways to distribute the drug, like a miniature hypodermic needle mounted on his ring to inject a large dose of the liquid directly into his victim's bloodstream. He has also used a hand-held weapon that fires capsules of the fear gas. Small but effective doses of the flight scent can be absorbed through the pores in the skin within an enclosed space, but the length of time it takes limits its usefulness. Fagan has also adapted other pheromones to his use, including one that makes a man sexually irresistible to women. He briefly wore a suit of armor, which presumably at least provided protection from injury.
