"This is the part you've been waiting your whole life for, Buddy. A "clown" with so much pain inside. Show me that pain. Show the world"
― The Joker (DC Comics)
"Clowns are nothing but ultimate evil! They want to be the dominant species of the planet and they’ll destroy us all to make it happen!"
― Billy (The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy) accurately describing clowns.

The power to use the abilities of clowns. Variation of Cryptid Physiology.

Also Called

  • Clown Mimicry
  • Fool/Jester/Joker/Prankster Mimicry/Physiology

Capabilities

A user with this ability either is, or can transform into or mimic the appearance, attributions, and traits of clowns, thus gaining special abilities.

Often considered agents of Chaos, Insanity, and Disorder, they spread their own brand of madness as they go around. Many have disturbingly screwed view of reality, which allows them to perceive the world in ways that sane people are incapable of even conceiving and acting/using it for their advantage.
