CHARACTER» Needles Kane

This homicidal harlequin has been the face of Playstation's Twisted Metal game series from Day 1.

Overview

Marcus "Needles" Kane, better known by his murderous moniker "Sweet Tooth", is a homicidal maniac of the highest degree, and enjoys "working" with a clown theme. Beginning with the first Twisted Metal games, Sweet Tooth's appearance varied in every game as a facepainted killer clown only to receive his trademark "burning head" appearance in the second game. For Twisted Metal Black, Sweet Tooth was retooled into a dangerous asylum escapee wearing a bondage harness and clown mask while retaining his signature fiery head. This look has carried over to most of his mainstream appearances. Kane suffers from split-personality disorder, giving him the problem of switching from a slightly delusional homeless man to a murderous psychopathin a clown outfit. He is the long-lost son of Charlie Kane, the driver of the assaulttaxiYellow Jacket in the original Twisted Metal. InYellow Jacket (Character)'s ending, Charlie's wish to Calypso (Character) is to find his long lost son, and Calypso gleefully tells him that his son was one of the drivers Charlie had murdered to get that wish. Despite having discovered exactly how insaneSweet Tooth was, Charlie then vowed to enter the tournament again next year, so he could wish that his son was alive again.
