Template:InfoCharacter CLU 2 (Codified Likeness Utility 2.0) is an antagonist who will appear in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
Development
Though The Grid was confirmed to appear as early as Jump Festa 2012, CLU 2 himself was not shown until the February 2012 Special Trailer. After Claude Frollo, he is the second new Disney villain revealed to appear in the game.
Appearance
CLU 2 looks virtually identical to a younger Kevin Flynn, his creator, as well as his predecessor, CLU, who was killed in the original Tron. At first, CLU 2 wears the same garments as Flynn, but following his coup d'etat, he dons a much more sinister uniform consisting of a black skintight suit with orange circuitry similar to Sark and Rinzler, a colour shared by the Tron universe's villains.
Origin
Though the original CLU appears briefly in Tron, CLU 2's official debut is the 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy. Following CLU's death, Kevin Flynn creates CLU 2 in order to oversee the new Grid in his place with help from Tron. Eventually, Flynn, Tron and CLU 2 discover the ISO's, which Flynn sees as the next step in human evolution, but CLU 2, having been programmed by Flynn to build the "perfect world", sees the ISOs as an imperfection and ignites a mutiny against Flynn. In the ensuing scuffle, CLU 2 fights against Tron while Flynn makes a run for it, but CLU 2 gains the upper hand and defeats Tron, but rather than kill him, he reprograms him to serve him as Rinzler. CLU 2 then oversees the "Purge", a genocide of the ISOs, and brings the Grid under his control.
Over the next twenty years, CLU 2 discovers that Flynn's identity disk will lead him to the real world, which he hopes to take over and make a part of his "perfect world". To this end, he sends a page to Flynn's son, Sam, in order to lure him into the Grid, but Sam escapes with help from the last remaining ISO, Quorra. Eventually, CLU 2 tracks them to Flynn's hideout and gains possession of Flynn's disk with help from a double-agent, Zuse. But as CLU 2 prepares to lead his army into the real world, he is stopped by Kevin, Sam and Quorra, who aim to reach the I/O tower and escape while leaving CLU 2 trapped inside forever. During the chases and fights, Rinzler remembers his past as Tron and almost kills CLU 2, but CLU 2 survives and pursues the Flynns and Quorra to the I/O tower. A final confrontation breaks out, and Flynn sacrifices himself to integrate CLU 2 into his being while Sam and Quorra escape, destroying CLU 2 once and for all.
In the film, CLU 2 is physically portrayed by John Reardon and voiced by Jeff Bridges, while CGI and Jeff Bridges' likeness are used to make him resemble Kevin Flynn.
