CLAYFACE
Life-story
Matt Hagen was a well-known movie actor. Badly disfigured in an automobile accident, he was rushed to
the Gotham burn clinic. At the clinic Hagen was approached by Roland Daggett, a crooked businessman
looking for test subjects for his "miracle product" RenuYou. Daggett promised the product could restore
Hagen's features within minutes as compared to the years of plastic surgery he would have to endure. The
only problem was that this drug was not FDA approved and highly addictive. In exchange for the product,
Daggett forces Hagen to commit crimes. When Hagen finally refuses to do any more of Daggett's dirty work,
the supply of RenuYou was cut off. Crazed for the drug, Hagan broke into the RenuYou plant where he Daggett's
henchmen poured gallons of the untested toxic chemical down Hagen's throat.
Instead of overdosing on the drug, the chemical soaked every cell in Hagen's body, transforming him into a
hideous man of clay. An enraged Hagen vowed to destroy Roland Daggett. What Hagen did not realize was that
his new cellular structure allowed him to change his shape and appearance. He could form anything he wanted
just by thinking it. As a living shapeshifter, he becomes the evil Clayface. As one of Batman's most bizarre
Apperances
