It is a common misconception surrounding the Twisted Metal series that Sweet Tooth the iconic ice-cream truck is the name of the driver as well as the vehicle. The maniacal driver behind the wheel of the clown-themed killer truck is actually named Needles Kane and is arguably the most twisted character from the entire line-up of freaks available to use on the Twisted Metal series. Since the series started way back in 1998, each interpretation of Kane has varied with each game without doubt the most psychopathic iteration was the most recent one seen in 2012s Twisted Metal. In this game the story goes that a man named Marcus Kane was once a happily married father who developed a dark resentment at his mundane life. This resentment eventually manifested itself as a split personality named Needles which gradually begins eating away at Marcus sanity. Very soon Needles has taken over and forces Marcus to murder his family. He instantly killed his wife and son but took his time with his daughter, who was able to grab a large pair of scissors and drive them into the psychos right eye before escaping. Needles Kanes only motivation in life is to catch the one that got away and make her suffer. Dark, dark stuff right?
