Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kaneis, a revenant villain in the Batman franchise, known for his shape-shifting abilities and tragic backstory. The original character was Basin Karlo, since, it has been reimagined in various forms. Clayface debuted as a horror comic book series in 1940. Clayface powers and abilities have varied depending on the character, from shape-shifting and size alteration to Superhuman strength, body weaponry, etc.
