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:
“My Vanquisher, spoild of his vanted spoile;
Death his deaths wound shall then receive, & stoop
*nglorious, of his mortall sting disarm’d.
I through the ample Air in Triumph high
Shall lead Hell Captive maugre Hell, and show
The powers of darkness bound. Thou at the sight
Pleas’d, out of Heaven shalt look down and smile,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
