Adding some more detail to Clayface's entry while removing unsalvageable commented-out entry.


* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His habit of developing needlessly complex backstories for his roles is bizarre enough, but his response to Harley using Firefly's flamethrower to create a vagina-shaped entrance to Mr. Freeze's lair is to remark that it reminds him of his mother.

%%* Master Of Disguise Disaster Of An Actor: Physically, his impersonations are perfect, so Harley tries to use him as an infiltrator. The only problem is Clayface can't act; all his performances are in the same over-the-top large ham, which gives him away as a fake 99% of the time. The remaining 1% is from impersonating the just-as-hammy Aquaman. - Rogue Launched Trope

* AdaptationalDumbass: This Clayface is an idiot who can't even go one mission without trying to exaggerate the false identities he creates and constantly overplays the parts. He was easily tricked by Maxi Zeus into blowing his cover, and he blew the team's cover when he was impersonating Batman because he couldn't keep himself from singing.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The standard telling of her origins has her gaining her plant powers, and with it her green skin color, after she became a scientist. Here, her memories show her with green skin ever since she was little, as if since birth. If true, it would mean Ivy was born a metahuman.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Lex gives Ivy a PR team to supposedly help with her image. They make her feel like the most important person in the world (when in actuality, she is doing everything except her job) and it gets to her head in unbelievable fashion. She ignores Harley, ignores the villains she's supposed to mentor and leaves her actual work of being the CEO of the Legion of Doom on the backburner, while becoming obsessed with her new celebrity status.

It's stated that the plan to save the frozen Harley from Penguin was his idea, and when invading Riddle U, he used his disguise work to immediately take suspicion off Harley and Ivy. This extends to combat, as he's much more active in fights than he was in Season 1.
** By season 4, he's practically on par with his comic counterpart in terms of raw combat abilities and shapeshifting, with none of the vocal giveaways he had before.

He directly says that it's why he hates women specifically. It's not supposed to make sense, that's the joke.


* FreudianExcuse: Parodied. When he was a child, Psycho always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel at the county fair, but he was too short to meet the minimum height requirement; despite his mother's encouragement that he might be big enough "next year", Edgar was a dwarf, and never grew any taller no matter how hard he tried. One day, the Ferris wheel collapsed (which Psycho didn't even have anything to do with), and he felt so good watching everyone on the ride die... that he became a misanthropist as well as a supervillain. Even Darkseid isn't quite able to follow the logic of that last part.
