Madcap is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Captain America #307 (July 1985). He has clashed with Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Nomad, the Power Pack, and She-Hulk.

Fictional character biography

Madcap's story begins with him as a deeply religious young man headed to a picnic with his church community. On the way, 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, dies. Only the young man survives. He is taken to a nearby hospital. When he awakes and discovers all other passengers on the bus had been killed the deeply religious man's mind shatters. His belief in a rational universe is swept away

Exiting the hospital, he attempts to commit suicide by throwing himself in front of moving traffic. He is of course 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, the newly-christened Madcap set out to convince others that life is entirely without reason.

His first battle was with Nomad, who at the time was Captain America's sidekick. This occurs when Madcap runs rampant through the streets causing mass chaos. Upon first confronting him, Madcap invites Nomad to take a free shot; Nomad does so, dislocating Madcap's jaw. Madcap then pops his jaw painlessly back into place, comically pokes Nomad in the eyes and made his escape. Nomad would later track Madcap down and subdue him. Having gained confidence from the fight, Nomad would then step down as Captain America's partner and venture on a hero career of his own.

Madcap, after a self-monologue in which he stabs himself to no avail, decides he must show everyone that life is a joke. He takes to Grand Central Station and begins by causing a security guard to go mad. The guard, laughing, shoots several people. By the time Ghost Rider arrives, the entire station is rampant with people murdering each other and killing themselves. Ghost Rider saves who he can, including a baby from an incoming train, then beats Madcap and subjects him to the Penance Stare. Madcap feels all the pain he has caused his victims and he likes it. It's the first real sensation he has felt in some time. He vows that the Ghost Rider will continue to do this thing, no matter how many people must be hurt.

His appearance in She-Hulk has a more comical tone. Writer John Byrne was using Sensational She-Hulk series as more of a comedy book, shown by her breaking the fourth wall oft and conversing with her writer/artist. When she got fed up with Madcap in her book, she quite literally rips out a panel where he was featured, and shredded it. The actual continuity of this event is ambiguous.

Silver Sable, leader of the country of Symkaria, hires a team of super-powered heroes to help protect a mad scientist from capture by the group Heroes For Hire. Sable believs that one of her employees is the aforementioned Nomad but soon discovers she has hired Madcap instead. The teams confront each other in the monestary of St. Eboar's, deep in Symkaria. Deadpool and Madcap, each learn that the other is hard to injure and delighted, fight. Deadpool is overwhelmed and teleports out. Madcap, despite his chaotic nature, obeys orders, guarding Misty Knight and Colleen Wing. His bad Monty Python routines are interupted by Deadpool, who temporarily defeats him with a blow that seemingly snaps his neck. He returns minutes later, to battle Deadpool once again.

The entire incident, plus more, turns out to be engineered by the villian called Master of the World.

Powers and Abilities

Madcap possesses two superpowers. The first is his fantastic rate of regeneration and recovery: he heals from any physical injury almost instantly, and even if he sustains enough damage to kill him (such as having his neck snapped), he will resurrect in a very short amount of time. It is unknown if he can completely regrow severed limbs; however, given that he has on at least one occasion reformed after near-total incineration, this is very likely possible. Linked to this is an inability to perceive pain.

His second power is a specialized form of emotion control that affects those he makes eye contact with. It is for this reason that he wears his garish purple-and-yellow costume and uses a distracting bubble-gun -- to draw the attention of others towards him, so they can meet his gaze. People affected by his power act in a euphoric, outlandish, uninhibited manner. This is rarely dangerous in and of itself (especially since Madcap cannot control how the person acts), though this can lead to extreme peril if the affected person decides to, for example, tap dance up the on-ramp of an interstate. The duration of the state seems to be approximately 15-30 minutes, though Madcap can keep a person "pleasantly loony" indefinitely if he continues to make eye contact with them. Most of Madcap's adversaries at first mistakenly believe the cause of this madness to be the bubble-gun itself.
