History
Doc Clamson was purportedly world's mightiest clams, his bi-valves pulsing with Gamma-induced energy - at least that's what supervillain Paste Pot Peep had heard about him.[1]
When Peep and several other villains obtained an stolen radioactive isotope and took it away from the United States, paramilitary organization S.H.E.E.P. asked several superheroes to help them recover it. Clamson, being subscribed to the S.H.E.E.P. Communications Network, answered to the call and tried to stop the villains in a submarine en route from Oregon to China. One of the villains, however, was super-intelligent Mad Stinker, who knew of Clamson's gambling addiction. The Stinker sent his Ham-droid to build a probably mock underwater casino to attract Clamson. The trick worked, Clamson entered the locale and let the villains go.[1]Attributes
Powers
Clamson could operate underwater. Because he's a clam. D'oh![1]
Weaknesses
Like any other mollusk, Clamson was addicted to gambling and forfeited any activity, including superheroics, when there was a chance to bet.[1]
Trivia
- The Mad Stinker tricks Doc Clamson with a casino and then claims that mollusks are all gamblers, "Haven't you ever heard of clams casino?" Obviously mollusks are not gamblers in real life - "clams casino" is a dish with clams, bread and bacon, purportedly originated in the Little Casino hotel in Narrangasett, Rhode Island around 1917, and also popular in New England.
