"Look's like the joke's on you now! Hee-hee-hee-hee-heeee!"
―Freakshow's signature line
Freakshow is a deranged clown villain who is on Hero Factory's most wanted list. He resides in an underground carnival dubbed "The CarnEVIL" where he lures unsuspecting victims to fatally harm them with his depraved "pranks." If he decides not to kill them, however, he experiments on them in his fun house laboratory and brainwashes them into clown henchmen that are just as insane as him.
Little is known about Freakshow's backstory, and his real name has never been mentioned. But what is known about him however, is that he went to clown college, and failed due to his unethical pranks. Enraged, the homicidal clown wannabe fled from society and stumbled across an abandoned mine shaft, where he built the CarnEVIL, which contained various rides and roller coasters that were specifically designed to cause serious injury and even instances of death. He also robbed a nuclear power plant once, and utilized it as "Laughing Gas" and ammunition for his gun. He uses it for experimentation on hapless victims, sometimes even heroes, to brainwash them into his lackeys. So far, he has never been caught, for many heroes fear his deadly carnival, where all who come in never come out.
Abilities and Traits[]
Being a monstrous insane circus clown, Freakshow is clearly mentally unstable and a masochist, delighting in the suffering of others around him. He constantly laughs and giggles, which often gives away his presence.

Freakshow is not only insane, but also absent-minded when it comes to his security systems. He constantly steps on his Whoopie-Cushion bombs, which send him flying onto the cave ceiling, but due to his durable design, he survives his follies.
He also has a twisted sense of humor, constantly making death jokes and laughing at other individuals' pain and injuries.

Unlike most of the other villains, Freakshow prefers to work alone, (with the exception of his brainwashed cronies) and views himself as higher than the other villains because of his independence. If a villain insists on helping him with his evil plans, they will either end up brainwashed or seriously injured/killed.
Freakshow is usually soft spoken and cheery, but he has anger issues if you push him too far, with his main rage-trigger being someone saying that they hate clowns.
Despite being a threat to society, Freakshow is more used for comic relief.
Powers and Equipment[]
Freakshow's most frequently used weapon is the Laughing Gas Launcher, which shoots balls of toxic waste at

his prey to render them unconscious. He also uses it as an adhesive to rewire the brains of his victims as he experiments on them, turning them into members of his circus clown army.
Sometimes when Freakshow isn't able to use his launcher, he uses a cartoonishly big hammer named "The Happy Smashy Hammer" to squash all who stand in his way.
Within the recesses of the death trap he calls home, he litters the floor with whoopie-cushions that will explode when someone steps on them.
Freakshow often bakes throwing pies laced with acid.
