Starro's Tentacle - Young Justice (2010)

Having been destroyed by Black Manta during a mission for the Light, Prince Orm pulled the strings for the Echinoderm's tenatcle to be sent to "Surface World", under the pretence that they could study the alien creature in a secure laboratory - whilst making it easier for the Light to make another attempt for it.

The Tentacle had the ability to rapidly regenerate in order to keep Starro alive, eventually capable of producing for him a new body. The tentacle contained dormant abilities of mind control, which were exploited by the Light when it was combined with nano-technology, bio-technology and sorcery.

"Misplaced"

In the adult's dimension created by the combined forces of Klarion, Wotan, Wizard, Felix Faust and Blackbriar Thorn, Lawrence Crock organised a protest outside of S.T.A.R Labs Gotham City division, accusing them of being responsible for the disappearance of their children. This distraction allowed for the Riddler to sneak in and out of the building, stealing Starro's sample and getting away in Crock's car, whilst the  security was focused on aiding the G.C.P.D from preventing a riot from the furious mob.

Riddler and Sportsmaster brought the tentacle to the Brain and Monsieur Mallah, who congratulated Klarion for creating a scenario that caused so much panic, that no one realised that the Echinoderm was missing until it was too late. 

"Insecurities"

On the 5th of December, The Brian, Mallah and Klarion hired Sportsmaster to break Professor Anthony Ivo out of prison and escort him to New Orleans, in order to experiment on the tentacle as part of the next stage of their plans against the Justice League. 

After Ivo had been reunited with one of his M.O.N.Q.U.I.S, Mallah opened the case and extracted the sample, preparing for the four of them to start working on the creature at the same time. Hitting the tentacle with a laser to awaken it's abilities, the Brain allowed the M.O.N.Q.U.I to insert nano-technology into the flesh, whilst Klarion used his sorcery to add a techno-sorcery element to the being. 

The four of them completed the process just as Artemis arrived to stop them. Klarion used his powers to teleport them and the tentacle - along with multiple pieces of Starro Tech, a biological segment of the tentacle mutated and altered by the addition of magic and nano-technology - to safety. 

"Auld Acquaintance" 

Whilst under the influence of Starro Tech, the end product of the Light's experiments to the tentacle, The Atom (Ray Palmer) was tasked with dissecting pieces of the source material for analysis - so that Ocean Master (Prince Orm) could finish the research that Dr. Vulko had started to Poseidonis. Using a laser to cut the flesh, Zatanna magically levitates a piece, forcing Palmer to increase his size to try and catch it. However this leaves him open to Miss Martian and a sample of the Cure Tech, rendering him unconscious and cancelling Klarion's possession of his mind and body.

Starro - Young Justice (2010)

Originating from out of space, the Echinoderm-esk Starro crashed to Earth millennia ago and was frozen in ice beneath the sea. They were eventually discovered by Dr. Vulko and his team of Atlantean Scientists, who reported their findings to Prince Orm with the belief that it would be the perfect subject for research.

Having them transferred to the Science Centre in Poseidonis, Vulko monitored the Starro as he was preserved in ice.


"Downtown"

After registering traces of life from inside the ice, Vulko contacted Prince Orm, expressing his concerns and worries about Starro demonstrating the ability to think. Because of this Starro became their top priority, making sure that the laboratory was locked down to all except them whilst they worked on him.

Over dinner, Orm reported the news to Aquaman about Starro's condition, as well as Vulko's progress.

Meanwhile Black Manta led an attack on the Science Centre to steal the Echinoderm for a private client, using the Manta Flyer to melt through the roof, whilst his henchmen prepared it for transportation. However this plan was interrupted by the arrival of Aqualad and Garth, breaking out into a full scale fight. As they lift the block of ice towards Manta's ship, Garth cuts the cable with his powers, causing it to shatter and let a tentacle to break free.

As Starro begins to wake up and acclimatise to the change in temperature, Black Manta sent a barrage of rockets to blow the Echinoderm up, declaring that if he could not fulfil the mission to recover the creature, then they would not survive to fall into other peoples hands.

Only a small piece of Starro was salvaged from the wreckage of the lab, stored in a special unit for transportation to the human world, beginning to regenerate only a few hours after the detached from the rest of the main body. Orm told his brother that the best place for Starro to be studied was the Surface, entrusting Aquaman and Aqualad to safely deliver the fragment to Gotham's branch of S.T.A.R Labs, so that it could be carefully be monitored.

Clayface - Young Justice Invasion (2012)

Five years after their previous encounter, Clayface honed his abilities and skills, learning how to defend himself from the electrical attacks that incapacitated him the last time.

He has clashed with Superboy and the Team on multiple occasions and had often been incarcerated in Arkham, breaking out to continue his crimes.


"Happy New Year"

Lurking in the sewers beneath Gotham City, Clayface predicted that Superboy would try and pursue him, hiding in the water in a semi-liquid state and waiting to ambush the young hero. He mocked Superboy, saying he always fell for the same trick, pulling him into his body and attempting to smother him with clay. He arrogantly declared that Kon-El could "struggle all he wants" as not even a Kryptonian could survive being starved of oxygen.

However his clay was loosened by Miss Martian's arrival, using telekinesis to force break the hold Clayface had on him. Turning his arm into a spike mace, he yelled that they could attack him all he wanted, yet he would still not be defeated since "nothing you can do hurts me."

Turning round to gloat at Robin for his attempts to electrocute him from behind with birdorangs, he boasts that his body had adapted to insulate himself from electrical attacks. Focusing on Superboy, he lunged at the Kryptonian/human hybrid, but had his mouth often to roar, allowing the teen hero to throw a pill inside his mouth that caused an explosion in his body, petrifying him from the inside out.

He was handed over to the authorities, who ensured that he would be returned to his cell in Arkham Asylum.

Clayface - Young Justice Comic (2011)

Formerly a member of the League of Shadows, "Clayface" (as he was nicknamed by Dick Grayson) was originally a man called Matthew Hagen, who had been trapped in the Lazarus Pit after he tried to manipulate Talia al Ghul into a one sided relationship. Giving him his ultimate wish, she allowed him to drown within the chemicals.

However they heavily mutated his body, melting his mind and transforming his body into a mass of living clay. He entire physiology changed, giving him the ability to transform at will into any shape or form that he could think off.

In reality his molecules were changing due to using a "morphic field" which allowed it to regain parts of his body even when losing essential limbs and head as a form of "morphic cohesion." Experimenting with a sample extracted from Clayface, Batman determined that if he could find the exact "frequency" that he was using in his "morphic resonance pattern", Clayface could and would be rendered unconscious from a blast of a taser.


"The Pit..."

Emerging from the Lazarus Pit after months of being submerged in the chemicals on the 25th of August, Clayface had no control over his shape-shifting abilities, first taking on the form of Ra's al Ghul then as Talia as he demanded his lover to explain what she had done to him. He finally transformed into a mass of sentient clay and mud, stumbling forward to attack Talia and the Sensei, the latter blaming Talia for their current predicament.


"The Pendulum"

Grabbing Talia, she callously greeted her manipulating ex by his real name, defiantly standing him down as he tried to question her. However the Sensei used his blade to cut off his arm, forcing him to drop Talia on the ground and
defend himself. The Sensei continued to attack, slicing the top of Clayface's head off as he updated his master on the situation, explaining that the "abomination" (as Ra's saw it) was what remained of Matthew Hagen due to the combined efforts of the Pit and Talia.

Smashing the Sensei against the wall and attempting to asphyxiate him, Ra's stepped forward and triggered the neurological commands that were planted in all agents of the League of Shadows, he ordered Clayface to fall asleep, resulting in a pool of mud at his master's feet. When asked what they should do with him, Ra's dismissed the idea to kill him, instead demanding that he be sent to Gotham City as a punishment to Batman for disrupting his plans at Cape Carnival and indirectly killing him.

On the 26th of August, Clayface arrived to the Wayne Foundation stuffed in a chemical container, where he proceeded to break free and incapacitated several security guards. He tried to attack Lucius Fox, however he was interrupted by Batman and Robin. But the two heroes are easily overpowered by the mutated Hagen, throwing them both through a window and begging to know what Talia had done to change his body. Using two lots of tasers on him, Clayface screamed in pain, smashing them both against the wall as he disappeared into the sewer system below - Batman was forced to call the Team and have them follow his trail.

With no knowledge of what had happened to him and still trying to control his new morphing capabilities. Clayface recuperated beneath the water.  He watched from the sludge as the Team tried to track him down. Back to full strength, he attacked them all, pinning them to the walls of the tunnels.


"... And the Penalty"

Resisting his attacks, Aqualad used his hard water swords to slice Clayface's hand off, while the other heroes simultaneously assaulted him. Falling into several pieces,  he quickly reformed while their backs were turned, smirking at Kid Flash's jab that he had been nothing more than a "pushover." Knocking them all down he laughed as he walked right over them and deeper into the tunnels.

Having mastered the ability to take on the form of any individual, Clayface engaged the heroes one at a time as they tried to take him down (defying Batman's instructions not to fight him - given the green light by a distracted Aqualad), first taking on the shape of Miss Martian to  knock out Superboy and ensnare the young clone in his body, mockingly calling him a "sucker" for not realising it was a trick.

Mimicking Connor's voice and shape, he next flirted with Miss Martian, punching her when the later was offguard, having been called "gorgeous" by the boy she had feelings for. Using the same tactic on Kid Flash (as Miss Martian), she knocked him out as well as the two were about to kiss. Splitting himself into two copies of Kid Flash, he cornered Robin who tried to deuce which one was the real Wally West by asking them to tell him his middle name. But they both label him as a "chump" and "sap" as they floored him.

Finally confronting Aqualad as Robin, he ambushed the disorientated hero and easily incapacitated him, throwing him against the wall. He moved on the defeated Atlantean and was about to kill him, however Batman arrived at the last moment and used a taser to turn him into nothing more than mud.
