Background
Glenn Jackson loved his country. His heart was filled with pride when he heard the National Anthem being played at baseball games, and he would always go out to the Union City baseball fields to see the home team play. He had a natural talent with mechanics, and helped his father fix cars at his repair shop during high school. After graduating with honors, he decided to go into the military. Naturally, he excelled as a combat mechanic, and was soon shipped off to Iraq, where he served a tour disarming IEDs (improved bombs) and fixing tanks.

Fate had other plans for him, it seems. The Army, vastly behind on the "cyber war" on terror, sought to make a  "living computer", capable of memorizing vast swaths of data at a glance. Under false pretenses, he was recruited to a secret military testing facility. For weeks, he underwent torturous psychological and chemical modification. He emerged, a successful project, but hopelessly insane. He could not sleep, could not eat. Nothing escaped his attention- a fly buzzing in the other room, the tapping of keys on a cell phone. Although he was vastly more intelligent, the constant sensory bombardment every moment of his waking life was too much, and he tried to kill himself. However, his psychological programming made him incapable of doing so.

A few days later, he assembled homemade explosives in his cell, using only what was given to him after the suicide attempt, and broke out of the military prison. Full of hatred, and a malign intelligence, Glenn now seeks his revenge against the United States government. Taking the guise of a clown, he now fights as the terrifying villain Killjoy!

Personality
Killjoy is completely insane, and is obsessed with his revenge quest against the government. Any government figures or "suits" that he finds, he intends to murder with prejudice. In particular, the superhero Valor, another government experiment. He is highly intelligent, and is capable of making plans, especially if it furthers his goals. He does not mention his past life, and appears to have absolutely no regard or pity for those who stand in his way.

Powers
After the experiment, Killjoy's intelligence became high, and his skills as a mechanic were augmented. He is able to make explosives from practically anything around him, and carries around a bag filled with bombs of his own design. He constantly experiments with new designs and combinations, and has a variety of explosives at his disposal. As part of his weapon arsenal, he carries a flamethrower, because why not?
