HISTORY
A once-famous character actor whose mind became unhinged when one of his classic films was to be remade starring someone else, makeup expert Basil Karlo assumed the role of Clayface, a grotesque maniac he had once played on screen, as a means of murdering those he felt stood between him and regaining his stardom [So sad. We hear this same story out of Hollywood time and time again.].

After slaying two members of the movie cast, Clayface was captured and unmasked by Batman and Robin (see individual listings).

Escaping from Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane (see Arkham Asylum) a year later, Karlo again assumed his Clayface guise and sought vengeance against Batman and Robin, twice threatening their lives before he was once more caught and returned to Arkham, where he lived out the rest of his days in dreams of his former glories.

POWERS & WEAPONS
While possessing no true super-powers, Clayface was nonetheless a superb athlete and fierce hand-to-hand combatant [Don't forget terrific actor!] due to the abnormal strength granted him by his [never having won an Oscar.] insanity [Same thing.].

[Since the identity of The New 52 Clayface is Basil Karlo, I used the Clayface I entry and the Clayface II picture. But I'll add the Clayface II powers and weapons here since those are more like the powers of The New 52 Clayface tacked on to Basil Karlo.]

MORE POWERS & WEAPONS
By bathing himself in the unique protoplasm of an underground pool, Matt Hagen [Read "Basil Karlo!"] was able for 48 hours to transform himself into any shape his mind could conceive, duplicating perfectly the color, texture, and abilities of the replicated item. Hagen's synthesized protoplasm gave him the same powers, though only for a five-hour period, and ultimately had dangerous side effects on his body.

With these awesome [Totally awesome. Radical, maybe.] powers, Hagen has had little need to demonstrate any particular skill at hand-to-hand combat [Because he can just become a gun!].
