Matthew Hagen (New Earth)
From DC Database
Contents |
History
A treasure hunter, Matt Hagen found a mysterious radioactive pool of protoplasm in a cave. Immersing himself in it, he was transformed into a malleable clay-like form, which could be shaped into almost anything he desired. This was only a temporary effect, however, requiring him to return to the pool periodically in order to maintain use of his powers.
He eventually copied the pool's protoplasmic jelly by chemistry studies, although the artificial proptoplasm only allowed him five hours of Clayface powers compared to the full two days of the pool's.
Hagen was ultimately killed by one of the Anti-Monitor's shadow demons.Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Metamorphosis: Clayface could manipulate his physical features to make himself look like nearly anyone or anything. He could even alter his color. The only restriction appeared to be a limited volume of mass.
Strength level
Superhuman: Clayface's additional mass afforded him an above-average strength level.
Notes
- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
