| Origin |
| A
once-famous character actor, Basil Karlo became
mentally unstable when one of his classic films was being remade.
Assuming the role of a grotesque maniac he once played, Karlo murdered
those he felt stood between him and regaining his stardom. Committed to
Arkham
Asylum, he eventually escaped and teamed with others who had assumed
the Clayface identity as the Mud Pack. Using genetic material from
his criminal
teammates, he forced a scientist to develop a serum that gave
him the combined powers of his peers making him the ultimate Clayface. |
