Madcap - the Clown Prince of the Marvel Universe
Madcap first appeared in Captain America #307 (July 1985), and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary.
According to his creator Gruenwald, "Madcap represents purposelessness, the disaffected youth of today who thinks 'What's the reason for doing anything?' The ultimate dropout generation.
Madcap (true name unknown) was originally a deeply religious young man. On the way to a picnic with his family and church community, their bus collides with a tanker truck full of Compound X07 (an experimental nerve agent developed by A.I.M.). Everyone aboard the bus, including his parents and sister Katy, are killed, leaving him as the only survivor, his body mixing with the Compound. When being told of the deaths of all his friends and family, his mind shatters, his belief in a rational universe swept away.
Leaving the hospital, he attempts suicide by throwing himself in front of traffic. He is injured but the wounds heal almost instantly. This pushes him further over the edge. After purchasing a toy soap bubble pistol from a dime store and donning a garish clown costume stolen from the Ace Costume Shop, the newly christened Madcap sets out to convince others that life is entirely without reason. Spewing absurdist philosophy, he runs rampant through the streets of Manhattan, causing mass chaos and a riot. Nomad tries to stop him, but Madcap uses his madness-inducing powers on him as well. Nomad recovers, tracks Madcap to a shack in an old fairground at Coney Island, and defeats him there.
My custom Mego Madcap is built on an original Mego Type 2 body with one yellow Scarecrow hand and one black CTVT hand painted; CTVT belt from a knight; CTVT pirate boots (one yellow, one black) with stripes painted by me; suit and cape by yours truly; gun found on eBay; head and hat are a combination of Legend of Links 3D printed head with a CTVT Western heroes hat combined and molded together in one piece; paints by me.

This guy was a long time in the making. Special thanks to LOL for the head. It was what I had been looking years for.
I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking.
Peace, Love, and Megos!
