Answer: Jacob

Jacob and Esau were twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. In Genesis, Chapter 25, Esau, when he is famished, sells his birthright (as the elder son) to Jacob for some food. In Chapter 27, Jacob tricks Isaac into giving him the blessing intended for the elder son. Esau is so enraged that Isaac leaves the area. Jacob returns years later (Chapters 32-33) and attempts to win Esau's forgiveness through several gifts including 200 ewes and 200 she-goats.

In Chapter 4 of Genesis, Cain was jealous enough of Abel that he killed him. The Bible is silent as to whether Abel had made any attempt to reconcile with Cain before his death.

Again the Bible is silent about any attempt Ham might have made to gain the forgiveness of his brothers, Shem and Japheth. The relationship of Moses and his brother Aaron is described in several Biblical books and they generally were on a friendly footing.

Answer: Scarecrow

This issue, with an issue date of March 1968, had Batman and Robin face the Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane), who has a great understanding of the psychology of fear and skill in creating fear-inducing chemicals. Fearful, Batman and Robin swear off crime fighting. Alfred must encourage them to continue by reminding them that both lost their parents to criminals. This allows the issue to reprint the first page of "Detective Comics #27", which introduced Batman for the first time in 1939. Reinvigorated, Batman and Robin go on a crime-fighting rampage and capture Joker, Penguin, and Killer Moth (each making a cameo appearance). They are then ready for their rematch with the Scarecrow.

While the Toddler, Chairwoman and Two-Face are important Bat villains, they did not appear in this issue.
