Batman’s Rogues: The Evolution Of Evil
I'm a 35 year old Canadian living in Ontario. I read comics, I love to draw and I collect comic art. I also teach karate, play hockey, and am a dad to 3 girls! My comic book passion lies with Batman and his pals with Nightwing taking a very close #2 favourite position. I began collecting comic art in 2013 and I have several commissions done by Ken Lashley and an amazing Francis Manapul Batman. As well I have sold a few of my own creations!
No. 7: Clayface
There has been many ‘Clayfaces’ through the history of Batman, but Matt Hagen was the first to have the shape shifting ability. He appeared first in Detective Comics #298.
In the New 52 iteration of Clayface he is Basil Karlo and can actually partially use the DNA of the people he is shifting into being. It is far more common now to see the ‘monster’ version of Clayface as well.
Do you have a favourite villain whose received a major makeover lately? Do you know one who needs it?
