Clayface

Clayface

Basil Karlo was a mediocre actor, who after using some mystical clay to enhance his acting ability, was transformed into a large clay monster, capable of shifting his body and appearance as he wishes. While initially acting as a goon for hire, fighting Batman on a number of occasions, Clayface would later join with Batman as part of his Gotham Knights. While he would leave the team after it was believed he was killed by Batwoman, he appears to have given up his life of crime. Its harder to maintain his form under high heat or when wet.
