Matt Hagen is a former actor and the wielder of the Clay Mutantrix.
Matt Hagen was an actor working for Imperial Pictures, once called "The Man of a million faces", but he had been disfigured in a terrible car accident. While recovering in a burn clinic, he was approached by the corrupt industrialist Roland Daggett, who made him a test subject for a compound called "Renuyu" (pronounced "Renew You") that he promised would immediately restore his young good looks. In payment, Hagen impersonated people in an illegal manner for Daggett. Hagen greatly resented this, but was forced to comply, as the Renuyu chemical was extremely addictive and Daggett was the sole producer.
Hagen then attempted to steal a large amount of Renuyu from Daggett's factory. He was caught by Daggett, who tried to kill Hagen by pouring an entire vat of the chemical on to his face and burned him. Instead, he's still alive. He was hired by the DNAliens to become Clayborg.
Clayborg subsequently attempted to get revenge on Daggett. He posed as an overweight woman in the audience of a talk show where Daggett was promoting Renuyu (after being released on the market) and then morphed back into himself to try and kill him. His efforts were stopped, however, by Batman using footage of Hagen's old movies to remind him of who he was, and thusly, what he has become. Cyber Bloxx arrives and stops him from Clayborg's evil forces, broke the Mutantrix, and Hagen breathed his last.

With the power of Clayborg, his unique cellular structure allowed him to transform his body into any shape or form he desires. Previously Hagen was a talented actor, this gave him the capability to impersonate people with ease, allowing him to escape arrest frequently. Clayborg could extend his limbs a considerable distance, and could also control his size and density. Because of this, he was able to fashion blades, spikes, and massive blocks out of his form. His amorphous body was able to absorb various objects, which he'd use to suffocate opponents. Clayborg had the ability to separate himself into different entities at once.
Weaknesses[]
His powers can be blocked by Segmentasapiens.
