Clayface
Name of a number of villains who adopt methods of transforming themselves or causing transformations, including the original Clayface, Basil Karlo, as well as Matt Hagen and later, Preston Payne and Sondra Fuller.
Matt Hagen is a man who uses a weird protoplasm to transform his appearance after taking on a clay form. Traditionally an enemy of Batman, Clayface also faces Superman after morphing into his double, complete with super-powers. Superman (along with Batman and Robin) is able to defeat Clayface with Red Kryptonite, causing the mutating menace to lose control over his shape-shifting abilities (WF No. 140, Mar 1964: "The Clayface Superman!").
(see also, WF No. 144, Sep 1964 "The 1,001 Tricks of Clayface and Brainiac!" -- a story that involves Jimmy Olsen teaming with Batman and Robin teaming with Superman to defeat the combination of Clayface and Brainiac)
