Who is Crash?

Rebirth/Prime Earth Crash has made a life for himself as a gangster, using his ill-gotten gains to provide for himself and his children. However, while he has tried to shield his kids from his life, his daughter Natasha was smart enough to discern the truth at a young age. Things went south for him when he enlisted the villain Skyhook for a job. Once the job was completed, he withheld Skyhook's cut and gave some of the proceeds to his daughter. Natasha, already aware of how he got the money, refuses to take it. When his younger brother John Henry confronts him about the stolen money, Clay confesses he stole the money from Skyhook. John Henry admonishes his brother for his actions, and Clay responds by kicking him and his girlfriend out. However, Skyhook, angry at being slighted, gets even by kidnapping Crash's younger child, Zeke.
