I've decided its time for another archetype for Carbide City #1 and Carbide City #2. The Toxic Protector and the Stretch are joined by the Clown. While this archetype was inspired by Harley Quinn and Slapstick, it was also heavily inspired by Funnyman. If you're unfamiliar, Funnyman was one of (if not the) first Jewish superhero and created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman. You can read more about him here. Also, the character is in the public domain, so you can legally read his comics here.
