Violator

The Violator is the demonic (& true) form of the Clown. His current disguise is that of the Clown, a 5'6 overweight, balding man with menacing face paint. He is the Spawn's mentor and one of the Phlebiac Brothers. He is a very powerful force with superhuman strength the equivalent of 15 strong men. He can breathe fire, shapeshift, possess others, and survive multiple types of attacks except for decapitation from an angel or hellspawn. He views humanity as weak and thinks that demons should lead the armies of Hell, not Spawn. He is determined to prove his superiority to his master. Since he can't kill them without an order, he weakens them by causing them to waste their powers. He has died many times and been reanimated by his master. After the death of the Spawn, Clown started to build his own army to bring down the kingdom of Heaven. He kills anyone who is aware of the Spawn's demise. He isn't "Clowning Around".

I finally finished this book. It would have been a quick read if I had more time. I really liked Lucky. Overall, a quick, fun read.

Not trying to rush anyone. Take your time. The roundup challenges are my favorite to run. Just keeping the folders cleaned up and archiving threads that are done. Normal housekeeping. I don't always have the time to keep up on it and I am about to get crushed so I want to get ahead while I can.

Sorry, I am just cleaning up threads. I didn't see the above comment. Just wanted to see where everyone was.

Any idea how many clowns this team has left?

Any idea how many clows this team has left?
