Two worlds, one family (Part 8)...

 Heroes Of Two Earths

Today we have another set of Supervillains: Clayface, the same moniker but two entirely different men. 


Earth-2 Clayface was Basil Karlo, an actor who specialized in horror movies.  Feeling slighted over not appearing in a remake of one of his classics, he donned the mask of the movies monster, Clayface, and set about killing everyone involved.  Batman stopped him.  He popped up few more times, he was nothing more than a normal guy in a monster mask and a penchant for revenge killing. 

Earth-1 Clayface was Matt Hagen, who fell into a pool of radioactive protoplasm in a cave he was exploring (ya know, as you do), and emerged from it a creature made of malleable brown mud.  He could take numerous forms and expand, shrink or harden as necessary.  He was a constant for of Batman and Robin over the years.
