As far as we know, Neyla didn't have that much hatred either. However, something was happening to Neyla's personality while she was Clock-La. She mentioned that a deep hatred was growing inside of her. Some people speculate that it was Clockwerk's consciouness awakening, that his hatred was starting to consume Neyla. If Sly and the gang hadn't defeated Clock-La, then it's possible that Clockwerk could have fully reasserted himself, meaning that Neyla's personality would cease to be.

Going by this, then Penelope and Carmelita could have also become Clockwerk, if either of them had been merged to Clockwerk's body instead of Neyla. However, I don't believe that it will happen in any future games. The next time we see Clockwerk, it will be the real Clockwerk. Who knows, the next game could show us just how Clockwerk became the mechanized bird we know. There is the question of how he built that body, in a time where computers didn't even exist yet. This suggests a few possiblities. One: Clockwerk is from the future. Two: The technology that the mechanical body was made of came from the future, but Clockwerk himself isn't.

If two is correct, then how did he get that technology? There are possibilities there too. One: He got it by accident. Two: He somehow traveled into the future, where he got it. Three: Someone from the future supplied it.

If three is correct, then who was it? There are a lot of mysteries still surrounding Clockwerk.
