CLU 2

&nbsp Clu 2 was the primary antagonist of Tron Legacy and the tie in game Tron Evolution.

Clu was created by Kevin Flynn to monitor the growth of the Grid while Kevin Flynn was absent; as such he was created in Flynn's image, possessed a great deal of powers, and the all powering directive to make the world "perfect". Unfortunately, Kevin had also spent a great deal of time away from the grid. Clu became angry and resentful due to the fact that a.) he needed Flynn's approval for many of his directives and b.) he felt that this task was overwhelmingly difficult. The final straw was the discovery of a new set of programs called the ISOs, programs born from nothing that just materialized. While Flynn and Tron viewed these programs as miracles, Clu viewed them only as abominations that threatened the supposed perfection of the system. Using the Abraxes Virus to mask his attempts, Clu betrayed his two friends, siezed power, and supposedly killed Tron (but in reality converted him into his right hand man.) Clu then iniated an almost total genocide of the ISOs (thanks to the efforts of the program Anon, the final ISO Quorra was able to escape Clu's wrath.) 21 years passed and the situation grew unstable; at the same time Clu made plans to make the Human world "perfect" as well. To do this, he would need Kevin Flynn's identity disk, as well as for a human to enter from the other side. When some hackers inadvertantly released a digital pulse, Clu used the opportunity to send a message to Flynn's old partner Allen Bradley. Though Bradley didn't come through, Flynn's son Sam did, which created an even greater opportunity. After meeting Sam and forcing him to fight in the Game Grid (a series of gladitorial battles) Sam was rescued by Quorra, who evaded capture. Sam's efforts to find help inadvertantly led Clu to Flynn's hideout, but Flynn and Quorra had departed. He then stole the disk from another program Castor (who had stolen it from Sam) before betraying Castor and blowing up his bar. Clu and his army then prepared to use the disk to cross over. Sam, the elder Flynn, and Quorra were already en route to the portal and they were able to arrive at the army's staging point. Sam was able to overpower a brainwashed Tron and easily reclaimed the disk due to the cowardice of Clu's assistant Jarvis. After executing Jarvis, Clu pursued his foes to the portal, fending off Tron (whom had been freed from mind control). At the Portal Clu confronted his creator for the first time in more than two decades, screaming about how he had "done everything that you asked". Flynn apologized for giving Clu an impossible task, explaining that he had been wrong to try and pursue perfection. Clu lost control completely and made a desperate effort to attack Sam and Quorra as they fled to the portal. Rather than loose his son Flynn reintegrated Clu into himself, killing Clu and causing a massive explosion that ultimately killed the elder Flynn as well.
