I made sure to address Pennywise by his full title in the name of this blog, so as not to cause confusion between Pennywise the awesome monster clown and Pennywise the shitty band that I hate. Okay, they aren't that bad I guess. I haven't heard too much from them. Still, I prefer the evil clown version of Pennywise.
Punk rock (FYI: dead) connotations aside, Pennywise is awesome! Okay, so evil clowns have sort of been done to death, but Pennywise is one of the top 3 evil clowns in the media today! Possibly the top 4, does Pagliacci still count?
Pennywise, in case you didn't know, is the eater of worlds, and of children. He is also every nightmare you've ever had, your worst dream come true, and everything you ever were afraid of. All this is very intimidating talk, but probably doesn't really mean shit to Superman. I talk ill of Supes quite a bit, but you probably aren't afraid of too much when your skin repels bullets. However, while Pennywise enjoys frightening children (he likens it to marinating meat) he certainly does not need to be able to frighten someone to kill them.
So I could go over how Pennywise's telepathy, shapeshifting, and reletive unkillability make him a formidable foe for Superman, but really I've already described in about 15 other blogs how people with these powers could kill Superman. Pennywise's real ace in the hole is the deadlights. The smallest glimpse of Pennywise's true form (refferred to as "the deadlights") would kill Superman if he were lucky. They could also render him white-haired and functionally retarded, drooling all over himself in a mental hospital. Pennywise is like a mini-Cthulhu in this respect.
