[singing] The man, still defiant, looks in his cabinet to find the severed heads of his prize winning dogs and a note from the Clown reading, "I'm not Clowning around!"
He tells Claudio that he wishes to have a conference with Claudio's boss. The Clown is nearly run down by Sam and Twitch's car, after running in front of it. Clown plans to put together his own army to bring down the kingdom of Heaven (against the wishes of the "Elders", supposedly, very powerful rulers of Hell). The Violator is the demonic form of the Clown and Spawn's intended mentor on Earth and one of the famous Phlebiac Brothers. [the rest of his body melts as well as his head] Clown : Spawnie, Spawnie, he's our man, if he can't kill 'em, no one can. The Violator is in charge of personally mentoring all of the new Hellspawn, and clashes with Medieval Spawn as well. When confronted by the truth, the Violator threatens Jim and the Freak. He usually sees Spawn more as a rival than a threat as the two have fought on many occasions. The Violator is not a demon to be taken lightly: he has shown many times that he is more than a match for a young Hellspawn. He becomes briefly allied with a moral, but naive vigilante. The Violator goes to, "slaughter someone who could endanger my plans". He can breathe fire, shape shift, possess others, and survive any form of attack with the exception of decapitation from an angel or Hellspawn. Clown tries hard to keep the Spawn's death a secret and kills anyone aware of the Spawn's demise.
He will often motivate Spawn or take advantage of his anger. [after Spawn cuts off his head] The Clown is then pursued by the two detectives, after he urinates on their car. Violator has to deal with an unexpected trip to Hell, an insanely murderous Angel and the facility's director of security, the stone-bodied Badrock. His chief purpose is to groom and prepare the young Hellspawn for their service in Satan's Army. Unfortunately for the nameless demon, Clown is not going to accept no for an answer. In 2009, Violator was ranked as IGN's 97th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time. Before the two can converse any longer, the Clown dashes away. [imitating Jimmy Stewart] [to a group of would-be Satanists] He gives her a reason to fear him as he contorts his Clown face into that of the Violator. The Clown emerges and claims that he has dispatched the Violator. After being stopped by Twitch, and tackled by Sam, the Clown is taken to the pair's precinct (although this was obviously the Clown's plan). Clown tries to convince the fellow demon (who has not yet been named) to join his own private army, but to no avail. She says she is unafraid, to which he replies, "There are worse things than death, especially for an Angel," he then tears the wings from the helpless Angel's back. He has been Hell's guide for multiple Hellspawn, his latest charge being the current Spawn, Al Simmons.
Before Jim can get any information from Violator, he retreats deeper into the alleys. [shouts] He then laments over the Angel's current insanity. [stops]
The Freak curses the Clown, and then retreats in fear.
