Send in the Clowns!

[Monty_Cristo]

don't ask me why but i thought the clowns of the Marvel Universe deserved a shout out. so, if you can think of the marvel heroes and villains with the misfortune of looking like circus clowns, jesters, mimes, etc, you know what to do. oh and also mention which one of the mu clowns is your favorite, if you like.


off the top of my head (some of these are debatable)...

hmmm, yeah i can see how the Brothers Grimm have clownish elements to them, although they are supposed to look like dolls. Arcade's already on the list. and i don't know about Galactus. i'm not seeing it but feel free to convince me otherwise.

[frilok]

galactus cause of all the purples and pink and that weird helmut but mayby not, how bout modok

[Monty_Cristo]

he's funny-looking but i've never seen a clown that looked like MODOK. he sort of reminds me of Humpty Dumpty. i guess i can create a sorta-clown-like category for guys who are just plain odd-looking like him. he does have a clownish smile (sometimes). and, since you also brought up Galactus, do you see him as a 'clown' or a 'jester?'

[frilok]

OK forget galactus but i would put the spot on your list as a mime/clown/jester

[Monty_Cristo]

i'll put him on the list.

[stingerman]

Jack of Hearts might fit..

i thought about him but he's, specifically, supposed to be a playing card (& not the joker).

Oh, I didnt think you meant that close! ok, then. :)

[Monty_Cristo]

Oh, I didnt think you meant that close! ok, then. :)

well, i'll at least add him to the questionable section. his costume is very flamboyant and close to being jester-like.

......... didnt the circus of crime hyp - motize the hulk and dress him up all clowney way back in hulk # 3 ?

Going into Avengers #1.

Ye gods, it's amazing Avengers was successful, with all the batcrap crazy stuff in the first issue.

yeah but it doesn't really count if some hero is dressed up like a clown against their will. :)

[jawbreaker]

poor Jono...
some of these I wouldnt say look clownish per say, like Abyss reminds me more of a demon...
um you know you might as well put Dazzler there too with that weird eye makeup she used to wear...

with Abyss, it had more to do with his exaggerated smile and wild coloured hair. he looks a lot like a demented version of Slapstick. but i actually intended to put him in the 'questionable' category. Dazzler is more 'glam rock.' now if she were to have off-colored hair and the eye make-up, you'd have a point.

Deadpool---as a jester, no?

[Monty_Cristo]

Deadpool---as a jester, no?

yeah, but that has more to do w/ his personality. he doesn't especially resemble a jester. if i counted him, i would have to count spider-man.

[StoneGold]

He was doing it of his own accord in Avengers #1.

How about White Rabbit? She certainly wears classic whiteface:

http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/whtrab.htm

yeah, i'll count her. technically, she's just trying to look like a rabbit. but she went about it in a clownish way. no wonder Arcade was in to her.
