Basil Karlo the Second Clayface, and a retelling of his origin story. The tragic nature of the man from famous actor to Clay-faced criminal. Basil Karlo is a boy that idolized his father. The creature effects that he made for movies seemed to come to life when he would gaze at the empty masks in his Father's study. His Farther teaches young Basil a thing or two about his secret. It's a special chemical from The Dagget Corporation called Renu. It was meant to reshape Plastics without heating them, but his Father found that by adding this to a bit of wax and puty, a face can be completely reshaped to anything.
