Scare Bear is an entity of unknown nature on The Venture Bros. It appears to be a supervillain due to its associations with both The Revenge Society and The Guild of Calamitous Intent, but nearly nothing else is currently known about its identity.

Character History

Scare Bear first appeared in Bright Lights, Dean City as one of the hopefuls at Impossible Plaza auditioning for placement in The Revenge Society. Bear's disturbing nature was frightening enough to spook Phantom Limb, Professor Impossible, and Baron Ünderbheit. Dean Venture stated he had no record of Scare Bear nor knew how the Bear gained entry. All of the questions The Revenge Society asked of Scare Bear were only answered by a dreadful heavy breathing sound. Scare Bear was not seen among The Revenge Society's ranks later, perhaps signifying it was too scary to get accepted into the newly formed villainous organization.

Scare Bear later popped up for a cameo in It Happening One Night, appearing in a corner of Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture's new residence in New York City while the Doom Factory was throwing a party there.

In The Rorqual Affair Scare Bear guarded the door to The Meyer London School to prevent outsiders from entering the Guild meeting about setting a bounty for The Blue Morpho's capture. It later appeared at Rat Island with other members of The Guild of Calamitous Intent to view the fake Blue Morpho captured by Tunnel Vision.

In The Forecast Manufacturer, Scare Bear found Hank Venture in the snow after the latter injured his head. When Hank incoherently asked for help and said he had to rescue his girlfriend, Scare Bear picked him up and took him to Dean Venture's dormitory hallway at Stuyvesant University. Scare Bear set Hank down and pointed ominously down the hall toward Dean's dorm room. Hank opened the bedroom door to discover his girlfriend Sirena Ong cheating on him with Dean, which resulted in a brief but subdued verbal confrontation. Dean and Sirena, abruptly noticing Scare Bear lurking silently in the doorway, pointed out Scare Bear to Hank, who was relieved to have confirmation that he wasn't hallucinating the bear. Hank finally passed out from blood loss while Scare Bear stood silently looking on.

Deleted Scenes

  • In Season 7's The Rorqual Affair, Scare Bear guards the door to The Meyer London School to prevent outsiders from entering the Guild meeting about setting a bounty for The Blue Morpho's capture. In a deleted scene Scare Bear is gently confronted by an A.A. group who have their biweekly meeting scheduled at the time that the Guild is using the room (ostensibly to rehearse for a production of the Sondheim musical Into the Woods.) The apparent group leader gives Scare Bear an A.A. pamphlet and tells the villain "I can see your pain. We can help."
