Powers and Abilities
Each of the Clayfaces has a different power with the exception of their shapeshifting ability.
- In earlier appearances, Basil Karlo had no powers. In recent comics, Basil Karlo's body is made out of mud upon taking the DNA of Clayface III and IV enabling him to gain the combined powers of both.
- Matt Hagen had temporary shape-shifting, voice-shifting, and body constituted by living mud which he can divide or change tone at will. Matt has to immerse himself in the protoplasm to recharge his powers.
- Preston Payne originally had shape-shifting powers, yet ended up gaining the ability to melt people with his touch. He has super-strength from the exo-skeleton anti-melting suit. Preston's shapeshifting ability was later restored by Prometheus.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“I have come slowly into possession of such powers as I have ... I receive the opinions of my day. I do not conceive them. But I receive them into a vivid mind.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
