History

Larry Cranston attended the same Law School as Matt Murdock. He hated what Murdock was always praised at the School, and even defeated Larry in a mock trial.[1][2]

Cranston was a witness of Mister Fear (Zoltan Drago)'s murder. Drago asked him for help and revealed the location of his hidden caches. Unfortunately, Cranston was unable to help him as Drago died moments later.[1]

Obtaining Mister Fear's equipment, Cranston decided to take vengeance on Murdock. He noticed what both Murdock and Daredevil moved to San Francisco and suspected what they were the same person. He convinced his partners at their law firm Broderick, Sloan and Cranston to hire Murdock and then attacked him with Fear Gas. Unfortunately he was defeated and unmasked by Daredevil. Trying to escape, Larry leapt from the building, forgetting his jets and seemingly falling to his death.[1]

Somehow Cranston survived and secretly lived as a professor at Columbia Law School as Harold Cranstone. Using the fear gas to take silent revenge on his colleagues, he later kidnapped Ben Urich to ensnare Daredevil. He was defeated and escaped back into his alternate life as a professor, secretly sending agents like Insomnia and Gladiator to attack Daredevil. He eventually sent Charles Boroughs on a killing spree directed at Karen Page until she was forced to kill him in self-defense.[citation needed]

Years later, Mr. Fear was selected by the Kingpin to be part of his Thunderbolts team.[3]
