Biography
Dr. Jacob Crow used to be a famous scientist, and expert in human fear. After a news report was broadcast about a natural disaster, Crow was presumed dead, after the report, a weird virus had been released into Rollins Asylum, causing several inmates to fear everything, Red Ryder tried to find a link between all the incidents, however, the only link found was that only one inmate was exposed each night, and each in alphabetical order of their initials (Aaron Alexander, Andrew Bates, Arnold Cap etc.). Ryder tries to investigate by questioning his most fearful enemies. That night, Red Ryder tried to stop the criminal from striking again by catching him trying to target the next inmate, a drug dealer called Dash Elliot, however, that night, Dash is left untouched and instead, the criminal targets a serial rapist called Daniel Eddie. Eventually, Red Ryder finds the man behind the virus spreading as a skinny man in brown tattered rags with a Freddy Krueger glove and a gas mask, when Ryder asks for the man's name, the man responds by saying "I am what every human fears when they sleep, I am the terror of Ambrose City, I am your worst nightmare, I AM NIGHTMARE" Ryder is able to remove the man's mask and reveal that it is actually Jacob Crow, who had fakes his own death so he could continue his work, however, Crow escapes. Ryder tries to find Crow again, finding a coroner's office with 3 body bags, the first one containing the corpse of Red Ryder's father, the second containing the corpse of his mother and the third containing the body of Jacob himself, who scares Ryder before sending him into an alternate dimension (Which was really an illusion created by Nightmare's Scare Chemical), however, Ryder is able to fight off the effects of the chemical and defeat Nightmare, however, Nightmare escapes again and tries to scare Ryder again, doing the same thing, but once again, Ryder is able to defeat Nightmare and arrest him.

Nightmare returns in season 2, where he is released from prison by Saggi and joins forces with him and other villains to spread a deadly toxin across the city, but rather than fighting Red Ryder and Copper on land, Nightmare battles them in his signature helicopter, but Ryder and Copper are able to defeat and arrest him.
