The Two Headed Boy

Gleek and Fleek were the seventh son of a seventh son. Hailing from the isolated, sleepy town of Arco, Idaho (pop. 87,) the two had a very linear family tree. Too much of a good thing when it comes to genetics can give unpredictable results. Thus Gleek and Fleek's peculiar predicament - the boys are two independent heads that share one body. One head controls each side of the body, and the two are incredibly coordinated, enough to perform complex tasks such as driving a car, cooking, playing computer games, etc.
The future looked bleak for Gleek and Fleek until they signed a contract with the Red Circle circus company. The two were showcased alongside Bubba the Fish and Serpenzo the serpent boy, and eventually earned enough to retire in style.

One-Legged Jack

The boy who would be known as One-Legged Jack was born with a strange birth defect. Both legs are fused together below the torso, but unlike other suffers of Mermaid Syndrome there is only one foot at the end. Jack as the ability to rapidly hop with his one leg, attaining speeds faster than a normal running man. Through the years he's also developed an extremely keen sense of balance.
Jack suffered constant harassment as a child, and eventually ran away to join the circus. Along with his friend Serpenzo the Serpent boy he travels the country as a one-legged tightrope walker.
