The story idea I have in mind is gonna go like this (so far), Red Fork.

The prologue will show pre-Fearmaster's past, as Jack Jones, the assistant to Bob Clipboard, a bumbling, yet popular and kind botanist, who wants to explore the deepest secrets of nature. Jack in the prologue will act like the narrator, explaining that he didn't intend to be Bob's assistant and wanted to work as a psychologist, but since he never got college fundings and had poor grades in school, he was forced to work for the man just so he can support himself. He was starting to lose hope for himself until one day, the botanist comes bursting into the lab, holding several pots of Poison Jokes. When Jack asked about them, he explains that he went on a business trip to Equestria and asks permission to Princess Celestia for some Poison Joke plants, with the intent to find a way to make good use for the plants for a change. Jack, wanting to quench his curiosity for the plants, decides to dump several chemicals unto the Poison Joke plants, eventually leading to the creation of Poison Phobia. This also leads to the accidental murder of Bob Clipboard; the stench the plant makes causes Bob to hallucinate his greatest phobia, which was robots, causing him to fall out the window and die. Jack, curious about the plant, uses it on himself, curious on what fear he has, where he discovers that he has Phobophobia. Wanting to counter his newfound fear, he sold nearly all of the equipment his former boss owns (except the Poison Jokes and the chemicals needed to revert them to Poison Phobias) and earns enough money to enroll in a university, where he gets a degree in Psychology, specializing in phobias. Now wanting to put the plants to "good use," he establishes a new identity for himself, now calling himself as "the Fearmaster," the boogeyman of science.
