*The name Circus brings to mind the traveling entertainment shows that operated from the late 1800s to the early 2000s. The abstract name choice works for covering the grab-bag spectrum of powers that Circus possesses.<ref name="4.2II">“A few of the multi-triggers I’m aware of tend to have more… I’m not sure what the word is. Esoteric or abstract names. The one villain in my town was Circus. The solution to a disparate set of powers is to just create something more out there that has its own identity, and then fit your powers to match, instead of trying to fit your identity to a random set of powers.” - [[Shade 4.2]]</ref>
**Clones of Circus created by [[Echidna]] are given the name [[Carnie]]. The word carnie is an informal term, sometimes derogatory, used in North America for a traveling carnival employee.
