Description
Harry Cane is a very pessimistic aviator who is sure that something is bound to go wrong. He usually tries to get out of getting himself into trouble, with usually futile results. This can result in him being ridiculed by Johnny's wife, Pippin. However, he can also be overly brave when the other adventurers need him, as long as he can escape safely. In the past, he was a U.S. soldier in the Vietnam War.
