Preston Payne uses blood from Matt Hagen, the second Clayface, to try to change the effects of hypopituitarism on his appearance… but the "cure" causes Payne's flesh to melt like wax. When Batman interferes with Payne's theft of the components necessary to reverse his condition, he may become Clayface's next victim!
