Clayface is a dangerous shapeshifter. In 2022, after Circe showed Amanda Waller an apocalyptic vision of the United States of America under attack by Pokolistan, she called in Dr. Aisla MacPherson, the leading expert of Themyscira, for a consult. MacPherson convinced Waller that Circe's vision was authentic. She ordered the Creature Commandos to kill Princess Ilana to prevent "World War III" from breaking out. Ilana's spy, Sergei, saw MacPherson at Bell Reve Correctional Center. She hired Clayface to take MacPherson's place and discredit her to the point of Waller calling off the assassination. MacPherson was murdered in her home with one of her own Amazonian blades.
The next day, Clayface, as Dr. Aisla MacPherson, showed up at her course on Themsycira at Terrebone University and acted out of character to the point of flirting with a buxom student. He complimented her top then asked what her three favorite things about Themsycira were. He sat on the empty desk next to and parted her hair. The student listed the ancient sculptures of Antigone. He pretended to be bored and yawned. She mentioned the recently unearthed poetry of Opolonia. He pretended to be asleep then walked back to the chalkboard and brought up "the lesbians" to the class's shock. Eric Frankenstein and Rick Flag Sr. observed from outside the lecture hall through a window. Flag wanted to search MacPherson's home and find out the truth. Flag came upon the real MacPherson's body upstairs but Clayface returned. He fed MacPherson's cat by dumping out the whole bag into a bowl then went to the den and played Mortal Kombat on a Xbox Series X/S.
Flag and Frankenstein tried to sneak out the front door but Clayface detected them and tendrils snaked under the couch and grabbed them. He decked Flag, slammed him into a wall, and punched him repeatedly. Frankenstein broke free and charged but was restrained in Clayface's body. Flag shot a hole in him but it regenerated instantly. He continued punching Flag then slammed his back on his knee. Frankenstein slowly forced a hand out and pulled a mini-speaker from a nearby wall socket. He was enveloped with clay again but he burst out, punched the socket, and ripped the wiring out then electrocuted himself and Clayface. Clayface lost cohesion and collapsed into a puddle of inert clay on the floor. Flag told Frankenstein to tell the Bride the truth then lost consciousness. The next day, Dr. Phosphorus found saved security feeds from the past few days and found one from two days prior of Clayface meeting with Princess Ilana in Poko Castle.
Amanda Waller and John Economos saw Clayface's remains, still in the house. Economos poked the "mouth" with his crutch and realized he was pretending to be MacPherson. Waller ordered the Commandos to stand down but Bride deduced Princess Ilana really was planning to destroy the world and shot her dead.
