Powers and Abilities
Each of the Clayfaces has a different power with the exception of their shapeshifting ability.

- 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.

“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths—your abilities and your failings.”
—Gérard Depardieu (b. 1948)
