Appearance:

Circus appeared to be a man while in civilian clothes, and an older teen/early-twenties girl while in costume[4][5].

On one occasion, they wore a costume and makeup of red and gold[6]. On another, they wore clown makeup and a jester’s cap, with a teal and orange skintight costume complete with coattails, and bells jangled from the tips of their cap, their coattails, their gloves and boots[2]. Circus' costume, makeup and color scheme were different every time they went out, but the theme was always more or less the same[2].

Personality

Circus is best described as a "genderfluid cross-dresser"[7]. This makes it impossible for Tattletale to determine whether they're "a guy posing as a girl when in costume or a girl who poses as a guy when in plainclothes"[5], because both suppositions are essentially correct[7].

Circus was one of the more successful solo villains around Brockton Bay, a burglar and thief both quick and versatile enough to win or slip away if they crossed paths with a hero. At some point, they were offered a position on the Undersiders and vehemently refused, although they were willing to work for Coil alongside his other agents[2].

In exchange for a great deal of money, Circus agreed to leave Brockton Bay, and never work under the same identity again[5].

Abilities and Powers:

Circus' power granted them superhuman reflexes, enhanced aim[5], minor pyrokinesis[2], and an extradimensional storage space, which they used to store a variety of items[2], potentially including disguises[4]. They were considered a "grab-bag cape"[2].

Circus' aiming skills are sufficient to hit a horsefly out of the air by spitting[5], place throwing knives only in nonlethal areas[5][8], and hit their targets without looking.

Equipment

Circus habitually carries a large, colorfully painted sledgehammer, colored streamers trailing from it, which they could make disappear after each hit, and reappear in a raised position or while spinning to speed up assaults[2][8]. They wielded throwing-knives, which benefited from their enhanced aim[8][5][2].

Trivia

Circus was the protagonist of several early stories that eventually became Worm, including one called "Circus and the Elite", where they faced a Slaughterhouse Nine-like group[9][10].
