HISTORY

March, 1940. 

The origins of the clown were never revealed, but he always manifested a deep contempt for any authority or patriotic sentiment. He wore a clown costume and matching face makeup, but in reality he was a wickedly unscrupulous madman, capable of working even for the Führer himself. He uses as an assistant a young woman, Lydia Burnham, whom he brainwashed and who is completely faithful to him until death.

POWERS & WEAPONS

The Clown possesses superhuman strength and agility and an accelerated healing factor that allows him to survive virtually any injury (as a side effect, that healing factor extends his lifespan indefinitely). He was a skilled swordsman and inventor of various brainwashing devices.
