Clayface
Blogs Boards News Previews Features

The villainous Clayface is one of Batman's oldest foes. Perhaps the caped crusader has been unable to rid Gotham of this threat because he doesn't know where to start. There have been no less than 6 people to adopt the Clayface moniker. The original, and current version, was a failed actor named Basil Karlo. He was the star of a classic horror film that was scheduled for a remake. While remakes of horror movies are rarely good news, Karlo took it especially hard. He donned the mask of Clayface, the villain he played in the movie, and began killing the new cast and crew. Before long, he was apprehended by the dynamic duo and left to rot in Arkham Asylum. Other criminals adopted his persona, but with a strange twist. Sondra Fuller's clay-like body was able to change shapes, and Preston Payne's corrosive body could melt others with a touch. This duo eventually broke Karlo out of prison. Through a blood transfusion, Karlo gained their powers and suddenly became a very real threat to Gotham. Batman has faced no shortage of Clayfaces over the years, but Karlo could be the most dangerous.
