Dr. Hofnarr , better known as Tricky the Clown is the secondary antagonist of the Madness Combat franchise, He serves as the archenemy of Hank J. Wimbleton.

Prior to his insanity from a ruthless demonic themed assassin, He was a Nexus Core scientist, an A.A.H.W. member and an assassin under the Sheriff before being revived as a zombie by the Improbability Drive and leaving to pursue Hank on his own.

He is voiced by William Harmar in Madness Combat: Project Nexus.

Personality[]

Tricky can be considered as insane due to being more twisted, power-hungry and wrathful as time goes on. He also is seen toying with Hank as he keeps on reviving him several times showing just how sadistic and vengeful he is. He is also seen arming Hank throughout the series (either directly, or indirectly by leaving weapons behind) - and later, Sanford in Expurgation. The reason for this fairness towards his opponents in spite of his incredible strength and murderous nature is because he believes that giving his opponents a chance is more fun.

Despite his insanity, Tricky does show some moments of civility, as seen in Apotheosis, when he hosts a party without any signs of violence, and in Antipathy, when he is shown ordering hotdogs from a vendor without any aggression.

Powers and Abilities[]

Though Tricky can use many forms of firearms similar to the way that Hank does, he seems to prefer melee weapons, namely his warning sign. He has great hand-to-hand combat skills and can jump at great speeds and utilize speedy dashes by warping his body. Tricky is also able to revive himself and others through the Improbability Drive and each time he is killed, he grows stronger. In his demon form, he can breath fire, change his size, disintegrate people, and can attack with his sharp claws and teeth and gains great physical strength.

Trivia[]

• There seems to be something special about Tricky since he benefits from the Improbability Drive's effects while Hank and Jesus only meet resistance from it.
• Judging by the posters he produced and put up in the facility in Consternation, Tricky has a habit of writing gibberish and laughing through written words.
• Without the Improbability Drive, he seems to be rather weak as evidenced by his quick defeat in Madness Combat 7.
  • This is supported by the fact that he was always quickly defeated in Episodes 2 and 3.
  • However, according to Krinkels, when Tricky's Improbability Drive was damaged, he didn't lose his powers, and that it merely "stunned" him long enough for Jesus to kill him. This implies that Tricky's exposure to Improbability was so high, it became a core component of his S-3LF.
• There a number of theories as to what caused Tricky to destroy the Auditor. After being absorbed, he may have lowered the Auditor's defenses to make him vulnerable to the energies of the Normality Restoration. Tricky's energy may have also have changed after he fell out of the Auditor's employ or it was his rebellious and strong mind that let him overpower the Auditor.
• Tricky's demon form in The Tricky Mod is one of the largest opponents in all of Friday Night Funkin' mods.
• After his appearance as a Friday Night Funkin' mod, Tricky (and by extension Madness Combat as a whole) skyrocketed in popularity, bringing various memes alongside it.
• While Tricky appears in a mod for Friday Night Funkin', Hank is set to appear in the official game in the future, both as an opponent and a playable character (although the latter will be exclusive to the Freeplay mode).
  • Whether or not this means Tricky could appear in the game is currently unknown.
• According to Krinkels, Tricky is the most intelligent character in the entirety of the Madness Combat series.
• Tricky The Clown was inspired by an old meme Krinkels found on Newgrounds.
• Tricky, Hank, and Jesus are the only characters in the series to have a confirmed last name.
  • However, Tricky's first name has yet to be stated.
