Clayface
Detective Comics #40, cover-dated June 1940, introduced a murderer called Clayface, and the man under the costume was a B-list actor named Basil Karlo. Nobody could have guessed what the name would grow into. Over the following decades it passed to a treasure hunter, a scientist searching for a cure, a member of a terrorist group, a boy and a firefighter. Clayface is now an alias shared by many characters in DC Comics. Most have clay-like bodies and can reshape themselves at will, and all of them are adversaries of Batman. Why does a single disguise keep finding new wearers? And what draws writers back again and again to a villain whose body is never fixed in one form?
Bill Finger and Bob Kane created Basil Karlo, and Kane later said where the look came from. He pointed to Lon Chaney's 1925 portrayal of Erik in The Phantom of the Opera as a partial inspiration. He also said the name was stitched together from two film stars, Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone.
The plot of Detective Comics #40 turns on a horror picture called Dread Castle. Karlo hears that a remake is going into production without him in the cast, even though he is meant to sit on the advising staff. The news drives him insane. He puts on the costume of Clayface, a villain he once played in a different movie.
Then he starts killing. He targets the actors playing the characters he murdered on screen, and he copies the order and manner of their deaths in the film. Someone who knew his identity dies too. His final victim is meant to be the actor playing the Clayface killer. Batman and Robin stop him first.
Karlo returned after the prison ambulance carrying him plunged off a cliff. He put the Clayface mask on again and went after Julie Madison, the fiancee of Bruce Wayne. Once more the Dynamic Duo foiled him. Only those two appearances belong to the Golden Age, yet they inspired a shape-shifting successor in the Silver Age.
In the late 1950s, Batman began meeting enemies drawn from science fiction, and the second Clayface, Matt Hagen, belonged to that wave. Hagen was a treasure hunter who stumbled into a radioactive pool of protoplasm inside a cave. He first appeared in Detective Comics #298. The accidental dip left his body malleable, able to take almost any shape, and gave him the ability to mimic voices. The gift came with a clock. Every 48 hours he had to return to the pool, or he slid back into human form. Later he learned to duplicate the protoplasm by scientific means, but each batch lasted only five hours.
Batman beat Hagen once by discovering his weakness. Another time Batman dived into the protoplasm himself, and the fight wrecked the cave that held the pool. Hagen was eventually killed during Crisis on Infinite Earths by one of the Anti-Monitor's Shadow Demons, along with the Bug-Eyed Bandit.
Preston Payne reached the comics in the late 1970s, glimpsed at the end of Detective Comics #477 and shown fully in issues #478-479. Payne worked at the Gotham division of S.T.A.R. Labs and suffered from hyperpituitarism. He was hunting for a cure. He obtained a sample of Hagen's blood, isolated an enzyme from it and injected the enzyme into himself.
For a short while Payne could change his appearance. Then his flesh began to melt. On a date, he grabbed his girlfriend's arm and she dissolved completely into protoplasm. He built an exoskeleton to hold his body together and contain the contagion, and it gave him immense strength. Still, he learned he could survive only by passing the dissolving touch to other people. His mind slipped further when he fell for a wax mannequin he named Helena, believing she was the one woman immune to his touch.
Sondra Fuller, also called Lady Clay, first appeared in Outsiders #21 and took a third road. She belonged to Strike Force Kobra, and the group's technology turned her into a shapeshifter. She agreed to the procedure because she hated her own face. Her powers matched Hagen's with one crucial difference. They were permanent and needed no protoplasm. She could also copy any special powers of the person she imitated. The Outsiders defeated her, but she got away.
Years later, in Doomsday Clock, Fuller claimed that Kobra never gave her the powers at all. She said a government conspiracy to create superpowered beings did. Her claim fed a global scandal known as the Supermen Theory.
The Mud Pack began in a prison hospital, where Basil Karlo was languishing when Sondra Fuller dropped in out of curiosity. Karlo proposed an alliance of every living Clayface to kill Batman. He tried to resurrect Matt Hagen and had a small piece of Hagen's remains collected, so the dead man could join the group.
The same night, Fuller turned up at Arkham Asylum wearing the appearance of the heroine Looker to visit Preston Payne. Payne argued with Helena and knocked her head off. Believing he had killed her, he went on a rampage until guards subdued him. Fuller rescued him and steered him into following Karlo's commands.
Karlo repaid them with betrayal. He took blood from both Payne and Fuller and injected himself, gaining their abilities to shapeshift and to melt people with a touch. He called himself the Ultimate Clayface. Batman and the Outsiders hero Looker defeated him by overloading those abilities. Karlo melted into the ground and sank into the Earth's crust.
He survived, and the ordeal left his body studded with crystals like quartz that made him stronger. A great cataclysm in Gotham City let him escape. He captured Batman, but then fell into a feud with Mr. Freeze over who had the right to kill him. Batman used the distraction to beat them both.
In No Man's Land, Karlo held Poison Ivy prisoner in Robinson Park. Batman freed her, and she sank Karlo deep into the ground, apparently destroying him. He resurfaced during Infinite Crisis and tried to boost his power by absorbing Wonder Woman, who is a clay construct like him.
The plan worked in part. Karlo came close to invulnerability, and Wonder Woman regressed to a teenage form resembling Donna Troy. The two women then tricked him into a train carriage. Donna used the Lasso of Truth to swing the carriage around, turning it into a mystical centrifuge. The two kinds of clay differed, so the clay Karlo had taken flew back to Wonder Woman.
In Final Crisis, Karlo joined Libra's Secret Society of Super Villains. Libra ordered him to blow up part of the Daily Planet, to draw Superman out after Lex Luthor asked for a distraction.
Cassius "Clay" Payne debuted in Batman #550 as the son of Preston Payne and Sondra Fuller. His parents had slipped away from the Mud Pack and fallen in love while on the run. They married along the way, and Fuller became pregnant. The boy's name is a pun on Cassius Clay, the birth name of the boxer Muhammad Ali. He was separated from his parents and held in a government laboratory.
Cassius carries the combined powers of both parents. A piece cut from his body can grow a mind of its own, though it mostly thinks in an unstable version of whatever Cassius wants. Losing such pieces is painful and distressing for him, and he will go to crazed lengths to recover them. A piece that bonds with a human host creates a Clay-Thing, giving that person Clayface-like abilities just by thinking.
Peter Malley, a scientist with the D.E.O., became the sixth Clayface in a 1998 storyline. A skin sample from Cassius came to life and merged with him. Malley could melt objects simply by looking at them, and could dissolve people through eye contact. Cameron Chase destroyed him by turning his own powers against him. His remains were stored at D.E.O. headquarters.
Thomas Elliot, the villain Hush, once tried to give himself the Clayface shapeshifting. He concluded that Cassius is the only pure Clayface, because Cassius never was human. Every other Clayface keeps fragments of human DNA, which is why no one can simply copy a transformation from a sample.
Abattoir later kidnapped the boy, and his parents ended up fighting each other over it while Azrael and Batman got involved. Batman defeated them both, and Fuller was put into custody. In one issue of Batman: Gotham Knights, Cassius has the clay look of his parents but holds that form only while awake.
After Final Crisis, Cassius attacked National Guard troops at a roadblock. He recognized Human Flame among General Immortus's team and blamed him for Libra enslaving Earth. The Justice League ended the fight and captured Cassius, but the measures meant to contain him proved useless. He escaped into the desert.
In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe, and the Batman: The Dark Knight storyline "Clay" rewrote Basil Karlo's origin. This Karlo grew up in a poor family that still managed the necessities. He desperately wanted attention and kept applying to acting programs, and kept being turned down. A fellow actor told him the Penguin owned a chemical formula that could make anyone a great actor.
The Penguin handed it over, since he had no use for it. Karlo found he could become malleable, and he rose to success in horror and romance films. Then a gang war drained the Penguin's money, and he demanded the formula back. Karlo turned to crime and killing, and his sanity frayed. After he lashed out at a cast member and was fired, his DNA had swapped so much that he could no longer hold his form. He became a massive clay creature able to imitate any features except his own.
During the "Death of the Family" storyline, Poison Ivy broke Karlo out of Arkham Asylum, claiming she wanted to marry him. It was a ruse, and he sought revenge when he found out. His next scheme was to duplicate Bruce Wayne's DNA, impersonate him and take over Wayne Enterprises. He even guessed that Wayne was Batman. Batman planted false evidence suggesting he had anticipated the attempt and given Karlo a fake sample. Then Batman trapped him in a security system that could be switched off only by Karlo's original DNA, which he had changed too much to possess.
In 2016, the "DC Rebirth" relaunch restored continuity to a form close to the pre-reboot one and reimagined Karlo again. Now he was a handsome young actor disfigured in a car accident. To save his career he abused an industrial make-up chemical called "Re-Nu," which warps flesh when combined with clay and putty. He had learned the secret from his father Vincent Karlo, a former special effects artist.
The chemical was long out of production, so Karlo turned to theft. Batman caught him during a robbery, which exposed his secret. His career collapsed and his girlfriend Glory Griffin left him. Batman asked him to testify against Roland Daggett, the creator of Re-Nu, but he refused. He broke into the warehouse where police held his stolen stash, took a massive dose of the chemical and turned into a clay-like metahuman.
He rampaged on the set of the film he had been fired from, flinging Batman far away and massacring people in sight. He also disfigured Glory, who was working there as a production assistant. She became Mudface of the Victim Syndicate.
In the 2016 arc "Night of the Monster Men," Professor Hugo Strange used a serum to turn living and dead people into monsters. Batman first suspected Karlo. He then decided Karlo needed treatment more than prison and invited him onto a team with Nightwing, Batwoman, Orphan and Spoiler. The government agency A.R.G.U.S. quarantined the affected neighborhood and nicknamed it "Monstertown." Clayface patrolled the sewers beneath it, retrieving monsters created by leaking serum.
Victoria October, an A.R.G.U.S. consultant, ran Monstertown and set out to find a permanent way to return Karlo to human form. She called the Clayface persona a "fear response" that appears when Karlo's mind drops empathy and embraces anger. Batman gave him a forearm device, later replaced by a smaller wristband, that let him stay human without using his powers. It was no cure. Clayface DNA consumed his human DNA whenever he was locked into human form.
October also gave Karlo a placebo bracelet loaded with messages from his close friend Cassandra Cain, who is Orphan. Once he passed the twelve-hour mark, he lost his sanity and attacked October. Orphan saved her by putting the real bracelet back on him. Later Glory Griffin captured Clayface, removed his wrist controller and sent him into a rage. Soaked in hundreds of gallons of psychoactive mud at Old Wayne Tower, he sank deeper into insanity. Batwoman killed him with a weapon that destabilized his molecular structure.
He did not stay dead. Seven issues later, Detective Comics #981 revealed that Karlo was alive and still held some of his powers. October had conspired with him to fake his death. He left a message for Cassandra Cain and let October take him out of Gotham City.
Catwoman (vol. 3) #1, from January 2002, introduced a seventh Clayface, though readers did not see him until issue #3. He remembered nothing of his identity, said to resemble an actor named Todd Russell, and went by aliases such as Brian, Greg and Todd. He could change into virtually any shape and size. The few background details say he served in the Army, was injured and then experimented on. Catwoman contained his severed head in a freezer, and he spent almost two years as a captive at S.T.A.R. Labs in Gotham before she freed him.
Johnny Williams, the eighth Clayface, debuted in Batman: Gotham Knights #60 in February 2005. He was a firefighter changed into a clay creature by an explosion at a chemical plant. Horrified after he accidentally killed a woman, he planned to take his own life. Hush and the Riddler stopped him by claiming a cure was possible, then manipulated him, even making him impersonate Thomas Elliot and Jason Todd to hurt Bruce Wayne.
Elliot used samples from Williams to try to copy Clayface's shapeshifting without losing his own form. He also used them to infect Alfred Pennyworth with a virus that let Hush control Alfred and force him to commit murder. Williams finally saw that Hush would never help him, after Hush tried to steal a sample of Cassius. Knowing he would die, Williams offered Batman help in exchange for protecting his family. He gave Batman a sample of himself so a cure for Alfred's virus could be found.
John Carlinger was a renowned actor and director who held a film exhibition aboard the yacht Varania III. Basil Karlo attacked him with murderous intent because Carlinger had not invited him. Carlinger killed Karlo instead. Worried that actors at the event wanted an audit of his production company's finances, he borrowed the Clayface identity to gun them down. Batman exposed him through the water-solubility of his makeup, which was a modern type rather than the greasepaint Karlo would have used.
Batman Incorporated #6, from June 2011, introduced the Clayface of Japan. Batman sent Batman Japan, Jiro Osamu, to fight him. Little is known beyond that he is a newcomer and a samurai operating in or around Hokkaido. A villain named Jeffrey Bode also made several short-lived Clayface clones.
Clownface began as a stray piece of Clayface that came loose and morphed itself into a mute old man. The man was taken to Arkham Manor because he would not respond. The Joker later infected this fragment with Joker venom, which turned it into a separate entity.
In the "DC All In" storyline, Basil Karlo organizes a gathering called the Fraternity of Mud at a restaurant named Synesthesia. Carlinger, Hagen, the Paynes, Fuller, Russell and Clownface all show up. Harley Quinn accidentally crashes the party, and the Clayfaces swarm her. She uses formaldehyde on Clownface and the attack stops. The restaurant's sous chef had hired her to break in, since the place was going out of business, and planned to collect insurance money for supervillain damage.
In 2009, IGN ranked Clayface the 73rd-greatest comic book villain of all time. By then the character had already crossed into television. The opening credits of the 1966 Batman series showed Matt Hagen, but the show itself replaced him with False-Face, played by Malachi Throne.
Ron Perlman voiced the best-known animated version in the DC Animated Universe, a blend of Matt Hagen with elements of Basil Karlo. In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Feat of Clay," he is an actor disfigured in an accident. The businessman Roland Daggett gives him Renuyu, a beauty cream that restores his face and lets him change it into someone else's. Its effects are temporary and addictive. When Hagen refuses to keep working for Daggett, Daggett's men force-feed him a huge dose, and he turns into Clayface.
In the episode "Mudslide," Hagen steals an isotope from Wayne Biomedical Labs to stabilize his deteriorating body. Stella Bates, a former medical adviser on one of his films, is in love with him. Batman aborts the treatment, and Clayface falls off a cliff into the ocean, where he dissolves.
He returned in The New Batman Adventures. The episode "Growing Pains" reveals that chemicals leaking from a pipe restored some of his strength. He sent off a portion of himself disguised as a girl named Annie, voiced by Francesca Marie Smith. She developed her own personality, and Robin fell in love with her. When Hagen cornered them, Annie let herself be reabsorbed to save him.
Other animated versions vary widely. In The Batman, Steve Harris voices Ethan Bennett, a police detective and Bruce Wayne's best friend, who is mutated by the Joker's mutagenic Joker Putty. Alan Tudyk voices a classically trained but terrible actor in Harley Quinn, with Jonah Platt providing his singing voice. This Basil Karlo gained his powers in a "terrible pottery accident," works as a bartender until Harley recruits him, and by the fourth season has left to perform in Las Vegas.
Live-action versions are rarer. In Gotham, Brian McManamon plays Karlo as a deceased actor revived by Hugo Strange and Ethel Peabody using octopus DNA. In the third season of Pennyworth, Lorraine Burroughs plays an original Clayface who mimics others perfectly and poses as the CIA official Virginia Devereaux. Birds of Prey cast Kirk Baltz as Cassius Payne, a sculptor inspired by other people's pain.
In Batman: Arkham City, voiced by Rick D. Wasserman, Karlo is the final boss. He poses as the Joker to distract Batman while the Joker hunts for a cure to the Titan formula. Batman finally pushes him into a Lazarus Pit to keep the Joker from using it to gain immortality. Karlo also turns up in the Lego Batman games and in The Lego Batman Movie, voiced by Kate Micucci.
The DC Universe now has its own Clayface. Alan Tudyk voices Matt Hagen in the first season of Creature Commandos. Tom Rhys Harries will play Hagen in a self-titled film written by Mike Flanagan, set for 2026.
