Voiced by: Ron Perlman
Image/Appearance:
History: Matt Hagen, a past-his-prime actor who was disfigured in a horrible car accident. While he recovered in a burn clinic, Hagen was approached by corrupt businessman Roland Daggett, who made him a test subject for a compound called "RenuYou" (pronounced "Renew You") that he promised would immediately restore his youthful good looks. In exchange, Hagen must impersonate people in illegal roles for Daggett. Hagen greatly resented that, but he was forced to comply, as the RenuYou chemical was extremely addictive. Daggett had Hagen impersonate Bruce Wayne in order to obtain documents from Lucius Fox, who was inadvertently wounded; and Bruce Wayne was arrested for assault and brought in for questioning. Hagen attempted to steal a large quantity of RenuYou from Daggett's compound, was seized by Daggett's henchmen; they then tried to kill him by pouring an entire canister of the compound on his face. Rather than kill him, however, the overdose saturates every cell in Hagen's body, and turned him into a bulky and misshapen clay like form who could, for short periods of time, shape-shift into anything or anybody that he wished. After he tried to get revenge on Daggett, Hagen was stopped by Batman and, upon being caught, faked his death.
He has returned many times seeking a cure for his condition, while trying to make the most of having it. He seeks the deaths of Batman and Daggett for his situation and for Batman getting in the way. He was recently captured and brought into Task Force Thunder.
Equipment: None
Powers: Clayface's unique cellular structure allowed him to transform his body into any shape or form he desired. Previously a talented actor, this gave him the capability to impersonate people with ease, allowing him to escape arrest frequently. Additionally, Clayface could extend his limbs a considerable distance, and could also control his size and density, granting him some level of superhuman strength. Also, because of this, he was able to fashion blades, spikes, and massive blocks out of his form. Finally, his amorphous body was able to absorb various objects, which he'd use to suffocate opponents. After he was revived by the chemicals at a factory, Clayface had the ability to separate himself into different entities at once. And while he faked death by electrocution in his first run in with Batman, it was later proven voltage had no detrimental affect on his clay body. In later circumstances, however, Batman was able to restrain him with an electrified Batarang. It was never revealed why this worked, though it is possible that the chemicals that revived him after almost dissolving also stripped him of this immunity.
Skills: Skilled Actor and is gifted in studying and recreating voices and behaviors of people, as well as noticing every physical detail for his form shifting.
Weaknesses: Electricity sometimes works on him, also getting to wet makes him unable to hold his form, heat dries him out. He will eventually reform himself but it will stop in the short term.
Trivia (optional):
- Not the same Clayface from the other reality.
- Matt got into acting to follow the footsteps of his idol, Basil Karlo. He just never knew how far that'd go.
- He started in a remake of the Terror to honor Karlo and insisted the whole thing be done practically, with NO CGI. It was one of the highest grossing horror movie of the modern day, as well as a high praised remake. He hopes he did Basil proud.
- Matt also wants to pulverize the Justice League for blowing him up with fireworks this one time he teamed with Grodd.
