|relations=[[Echidna]] (Creator)<br/>[[Circus]] (Original)}}'''Carnie''' is the name given to multiple [[Echidna Clones|clones]] of [[Circus]] that were created by [[Echidna]]. They shared Circus' memories, but, like all Echidna clones, felt a driving desire to destroy everything their original cared about.

==Appearance==
One Carnie is described as disproportional and thin with a hunched back. They used their knuckles to walk.<ref>And they weren’t all Vistas.  I noted the presence of what had to be a Circus, disproportionate and thin, with a hunched back, using her knuckles to walk. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref> Another Carnie had ulcerous growths all over their body.<ref>Noelle, I realized, was vomiting from one of the three mouths on her lower body.  The slurry contained a human being, naked, with ulcerous growths all over her body.  Circus. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref>

==Abilities and Powers==
All Carnies have the same abilities as the original Circus or variations thereof. One Carnie showcased the ability to suck air into their pocket dimension, creating a vacuum and dragging flying capes toward it.<ref>A Circus emerged beneath the flying heroes, cradling a shattered arm.  Bugs began drifting toward her, as if a strong wind were pulling them in.  The normal Circus packed a pocket dimension she could put things into.  This one was only storing air, forming a strong vacuum around herself.  Chronicler’s cloud dissipated as it was sucked in, and the heroes with weaker flying abilities were swiftly being dragged her way.  Regent hit her with his power, and the effect slowed, but she recovered faster than the fliers did. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/queen-18-8/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.8]]</ref> The same clone also showcased the ability to light an entire person on fire just by touching them.<ref>The Circus, for her part, had used her pocket-dimension vacuum to draw one of the fliers close enough to get her hands on him.  The hero, Intrepid or Strapping Lad, was set aflame from head to toe, his costume ignited in entirety.  He kicked out, blind in the midst of the flames that were immolating him, and she ducked out of the way. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/queen-18-8/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.8]]</ref> Another Carnie had the ability to fold themself into their pocket dimension.<ref>A dozen bodies began climbing free of the vomit.  Ten or so clones had been deposited on the street, along with a real Leet in civilian clothes.  One of the clones was a Circus, folding ''herself'' into her pocket dimension. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/queen-18-8/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.8]]</ref>

==History==
===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Circus was captured by Echidna along with [[Über]] and [[Leet]] during her search for independent capes. During the initial confrontation between Echidna and the heroes, Echidna employed multiple Carnies along with [[Pwn]]s, [[Unter]]s and [[Scape]]s.<ref>“And there’s a good half-dozen capes around her,” I said.  “One Circus, one Vista that can apparently hide people in two-dimensional space, two Übers and the Leet with the gun.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref>

It is assumed that they were all killed during or after the [[Battle against Echidna]].
