'''Clayface''' is the identity used by a number of [[shapeshifting]] [[supervillain]]s who have battled [[Batman]]. He is notable for being a classic villain who is [[metahuman]] rather than a deranged 'normal' human being like most in Batman's [[rogues gallery]].

The original Clayface, '''Basil Karlo''', appeared in ''[[Detective Comics]]'' #40. He was an [[actor]] who was driven mad when he heard of a remake of the classic [[horror film]] he had starred in, ''The Terror'', even though he was to be one of the advising staff. Donning the mask of the film's villain, Clayface, he embarked on a murder spree among the cast and crew of the remake. He was foiled by Batman and [[Robin (comics)|Robin]], and incarcerated in [[Arkham Asylum]].
Line 53:
The fourth Clayface, '''Sondra Fuller''', also known as Lady Clay, first appeared in ''[[Outsiders (comics)|Outsiders]]'' (volume 1) #21. She was a member of [[Strike Force Kobra]] who was transformed into a shape-changer by her employer [[Kobra (comics)|Kobra]]'s technologies, a process she agreed to become a subject of because she hated her own face, which she found extremely disgusting. She possesses identical abilities to those of Matt Hagen and can additionally copy the powers of the being she's mimicking, but without the requirement for a source of protoplasm. She was defeated by the Outsiders.
==Mud Pack==
Before the appearance of the fifth and sixth Clayfaces, the third and fourth Clayfaces teamed up, breaking the original Clayface out of prison and forming the [[Mud Pack]]. Karlo later managed to copy the others' powers by injecting himself with extracts of samples of the other two Clayfaces, becoming the "Ultimate Clayface". The three battled and were defeated by Batman.
