Clayface Basil "Malibu Karlo case file 489573

[NOT FOR PUBLIC REDISTRIBUTION]

Basil "Malibu" karlo age: 16

Gender: prefers not to disclose

Backstory: Basil was born on December 17th 1969 in Love Canal New York. Toxic conditions in the area caused their DNA to become.... unstable at worst and questionable at best. This has allowed their unique ability to mimic others. We have also been told that they practiced in front of the TV, copying scenes from their favorite movies and one day aspire to be an actor.

On July 7th 1978, Basil was relocated to Saint Murphy's orphanage in Gotham City, New Jersey after her parents passing. That October, the orphanage would do a production of Romeo and Juliet. She would star in Juliets role. This would intrigue a representative of Markus Jolly Studios who convinced her to audition for a role on there new sitcom "Suburbia Overture". She would get the role of the daughter Melody. This would be Basils first Role in the acting industry.

Although the show was successful on the outside, lasting 5 seasons, 8 thirty minute specials and a musical. The inside took its toll on the child's psyche. There were constant problems that Basil has refused to elaborate on. She claims that practicing her shape shifting calmed her down when it go intense. She mimicking was noticed by another representative, this time one from, Golden Arch Studios who gave her the first opportunity for a feature film role. She hesentently accept. Thus 1981 ended the Suburbia Overture run and began Basil's movie career.

The movie career was a bit more lax than in Suburbia. Basil had finally realized their dream and they were happy. There were a few directors and cameramen with foul intentions (basil refused further elaboration) but they seemed overall fine. There shape shifting has improved. No two movies were the exact same, many people assumed ther differences in face were from practical effects and makeup.

However nothing good can last forever, after the successful release of "Class up the bat!" In the march of 1984 (Film Fun magazine cover shown). Golden Arch began a search for other actors to experiment with Basil. Basil, completely not taking the hint, began to worry about being replaced,began using their shape shifting for more than acting. They began sabotaging other actors getting them blacklisted from Golden Arch. These efforts were mostly successful. Until the August of that month. They were caught on camera, shape shifting outside of a local TGI Fridays They had Finished robbing. To keep there, golden Arch and Markus Jolly Studios reputations somewhat clean and decent. District attorney Harvey dent( See two face's file) had basil plea insanity and had them shiped to the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum in hopes of helping her mental state.

Dr.Hugo Strange believed a huge reason she did her "escapades" was due to a lack of cooperation, communication and a general lack of appropriately aged friends. So he put her in his Arkham group, "strange's oddities" which at the time was just Ezra Rane but he claimed it was a start. As more "missions' went on and Abner joined the team, basil became more social, more skilled in her abilities and slightly more paranoid that someone would go wrong.

And some want wrong indeed. During a mission called "shaved iceberg" basil was figured out, captured and exposed to both psychological torture and harsh chemicals. Those chemicals (combined with there already unstable DNA created whqt we call clayface. After a 3 week period, basil was captured and supposedly cured by Dr Strange. Creeper was added to the team shortly after and things seem normal.

However I can't shake the feeling that he didn't do shit to fix this and used his "mind powers" to make it look like he did, basil can't see it but...I swear some times I see her melting like she did as clayface.....only time will tell if they find out or not.

Basil "Malibu"Karlo was Born on February 3rd 1970 in Love Canal. Due to the heavy chemicals surrounding the area Basil gained there peculiar ability to shape shift and mimic others. As they grew up, their skills developed. By the age of 8 he was evacuated to the Gotham orphanage after her parents died from chemical exposure.

While in the orphanage,they gained a love for old Hollywood and film. They later earned a contract with Markus Jolly studios as an actress on the sitcom, "Suburban overture." It was a toxic work environment, especially for a 9 year old but they still somehow perceived it. The success from the show gained her more roles for them to own their shape shifting craft, the amazed audience believed there changes we made via cgi or practical effects.

After the release of A bit of class for the bat, Basil faced competition by other actors despite their shape shifting. Later they began a streak of crime to frame them and get them blacklisted from the industry. Unfortunately this was not meant to last, in October 1984 she was caught at the scene and was identified by their webbed toes(the one thing that never could shape shift with the rest of them.). To keep their record clean Markus Jolly studios made her plead insanity and admitted her to the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum until further notice.

They are currently under the supervision of Dr. Hugo Strange on his team the strange angels as an imposter for gigs he assigns the angels to.

Their sanity has only become worse... like a melting lump of clay

[cassandraillustrates]

When the character designs for Batman caped crusader leaked, I know there were some people who didn’t like Clayface’s design, but apparently it’s based on his first appearance in the comics which is really cool. But I myself liked the design because it reminded me of phantom of the opera, 1925.

Also I really like his voice. It’s got a good rumble 🤤

More Batman/My Little Pony au art because these are ridiculously fun to draw. Part 3 here! Part 1 here!

More info under the cut!

1. Sweet Talk/The Harlequin (Harleen Quinzel)

Originally contracted to work as a psychiatrist for the Tartarus villain redemption program, Sweet Talk had a unique relationship with the Joker. This relationship was proven to be even stranger than her coworkers had originally assumed when she broke him out and joined him in his life of crime.

Devoting herself entirely to her new life and relationship with the joker, she covers her original cutie mark at all times. Snce her horn was snapped she can no longer cast precise spells, leaving her magic mostly emotion-based and intensely volatile, (typically manifesting in the form of sparks, zaps, and explosions).

Other Notes:

-Using Tartarus as a substitute for Arkham Asylum for this au because why not.

-The villain redemption program did NOT go well. Sorry Twilight.

-Mostly based on BTAS Harley because I adore the original costume.

-Her horn was cracked by the Joker

2. Pudding Pie/The Joker (The Joker)

Batpony’s most notorious foe. Said to have been just a regular pony until he fell into a vat at an Ace Potions factory during a conflict with Batpony.

He doesn’t have a Cutie Mark, but it’s unclear whether this was always the case or instead a result of his accident. The effects of permanent Cutie Mark loss—the only known cases of which occurred via long-banned magic and/or traumatic injury—are largely unstudied, and it’s ramifications are unknown. Some ponies theorize this may be the reason for the Joker’s mental state and general disposition.  

Sundown has a different opinion on the matter.

Other notes:

-Based mostly on BTAS joker and the ‘89 Nicholson joker.

-His name is just based on Harley’s “pudding” nickname for in in a lot of versions, but I think it would also be hilarious if he was a distant relative of Pinkie Pie.

-I could leave it ambiguous but. Yeah the potion vat didn’t actually do anything beyond slightly altering his physical appearance. He’s just like that and he never got a cutie mark in the first place.

3. Gadiel/Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane)

Raised among ponies, Gadiel was relentlessly bullied for being gangly and birdish, earning him the nickname “Scarecrow” in his youth. Though he later successfully became a professor and psychologist in Gotham, Gadiel was eventually fired when he was found to be testing his fear-inducing potions on his students and purposefully putting them through terrifying and dangerous situations. Deciding to take his experiments to the masses, Gadiel donned the mantle of Scarecrow and weaponized fear to become a career criminal.

As the Scarecrow, he’s known for his skill in manipulation, psychological torture, and crafting dangerous potions and gas. The effects of fear on magical creatures are unique and intense, much to Gadiel’s delight and interest.

Other Notes:

-I wanted to make his front half a crane but I couldn’t get the long neck to work right with the mask, so he’s more crow-like instead.

-according to the wiki 1/3 of Griffin names start with a G so naturally I was extremely tempted to name him Gonathon and you should all be very grateful I did not. The name Gadiel has origins in the bible as the name of an archangel which I thought was fitting given the insane religious trauma some versions of the scarecrow went through. I thought about trying to do something similar for this version but given that the mlp universe uses Princess Celestia as a replacement for God in expressions like “Celestia knows where” and “Oh my Celestia” I wasn’t really sure how to go about it. There’s probably some kind of sun-worshipping thing in equestria idk.

-I spent a long time on the mlp wiki but from what I could find the only “fear” magic in the show is just used by one guy and its just called “dark magic”. I thought for sure there would’ve been some random plant or magical creature they dealt with at some point that maybe did something similar I could use for his blurb but unfortunately there was not.

4. Mandible/Falseface (Basil Karlo/Matt Hagen)

Hungry and deeply resentful of the changeling queen for forcing her underlings to share what little stolen love they had with her, Mandible went rogue early on and split off from the hive to pursue his own ventures. Finding success under the name Claypose as a pony actor in Gotham, he was sustained primarily by the one-sided love of his fans for years, despite the false identity having no real prior personal relationships to leech from. 

After a magical special effects accident on set revealed his true nature, he went into hiding and immediately started crafting a new persona, but soon found in his distress and rage over losing his identity as Claypose that he could no longer sustain any disguise long enough to keep up a long-term facade. Blaming the accident, he targeted the unicorn responsible by posing as his wife to leech his love, but ended up killing the pony in a panic when his disguise failed much faster than he’d anticipated it would. Unable to keep up a new identity or return to the hive, Mandible turned to a life of crime instead, doing dirty work for the bigger criminal names in Gotham and leeching love from his employer’s targets to survive.

Other notes:

-Clayface being a changeling was an obvious pick given his power set but I really wasn’t sure how to tackle the main issue of him being unable to keep a solid form for long. I went with his distress and frustration being the main thing keeping his disguise flimsy (so he gets put in kind of an ourobouros cycle where his disguise being bad makes him upset but him being upset makes it harder to fix his disguise), but the magic accident probably also contributed somehow.

-Why are all the changelings straight up just named after body parts in this show whats that about. The “Clay” in Claypose is obviously a reference to his title/schtick in the comics while the “pose” comes from both his job as an actor and the fact that he’s posing as a pony. Mandible is the name for the jaw part of an insect.

-there's actually an entirely different batman villain called falseface in the '66 series but I couldn't come up with anything better. Changeface just does not roll off the tongue.

3. Winglon/Killer Drake (Waylon Jones)

Originally intended to be used in an entrance exam, his egg was stolen from a Canterlot delivery cart on its way to Celestia’s school of magic and sold on the black market to a Pony Island circus. Raised to be part of the freak show, Winglon was pitted against circus performers and overconfident challengers in ring fights for money and entertainment. Enduring abuse and injury throughout his life from ponies that he was always fundamentally stronger than, it was only a matter of time until he snapped. Garnering the name Killer Drake for his actions, Winglon escaped into the Gotham sewer system.

Not knowing how to return to the dragonlands or whether he’d even fit into dragon society at all, he continues to lurk in the dark away from any life, deeply resenting ponies and all other manner of magical creatures that make friends with them.

Other notes:

-I like silly names ok. Winglon Jones. -I like the theory that the dragon egg used for Twilight’s entrance exam was actually fake/meant to be a no-win scenario, but I also don’t think it would be that hard for enterprising ponies to get their hands on dragon eggs. The practice probably stopped in the later seasons when they made friends with the dragonlands or whatever though.

-Given that dragons threaten to eat or kill ponies at multiple points in the show, the cannibalism is actually kind of understandable. And also not even cannibalism anymore. Still murder though.
