CLU 2

Unreleased

CLU 2 (shortened to Clu or CLU), which stands for Codified Likeness Utility 2.0, is an artificial intelligence program that was written by Kevin Flynn. He appears in the Disney film, Tron: Legacy, and will be featured in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. CLU 2 was first seen in the special trailer released on February the 14th, 2012.

Origin
An earlier version of CLU existed during the events of the original TRON film in which he was used by Kevin Flynn to hack into the ENCOM mainframe and collect evidence of Ed Dillinger's plagiarism. But CLU was captured by and derezzed by the Master Control Program.

Before TRON: Legacy, A new version of CLU was created by Kevin Flynn when he created a new version of The Grid. (Also importing Tron from the old system.) Flynn promised to CLU 2 that they would help create "the perfect system," a goal CLU 2 never put to rest. Especially when the spontaneously created programs called ISOs (short for Isomorphic Algorithms) came into being. Kevin saw them as a miracle, whereas CLU saw them as an imperfection. In determination to rid all imperfections, he killed all the ISOs (in an event known as "The Purge") not only reprograming Tron into Rinzler, but also forcing Kevin into hiding for 20 years.

In TRON: Legacy, CLU 2 continues to carry out the execution to shape a perfect system, reprogramming innocent programs into soldiers and creating an army to infiltrate the real world. He lures Sam Flynn into the Grid and attempts to kill him until Quorra comes to Sam's rescue and takes him to his father. CLU 2, still unaware of where Kevin is hiding, decides to use Sam as a pawn to lure the Flynns out of hiding in order to obtain Kevin's disc that would provide passage through the portal to the real world. When CLU 2 finally has all of the pieces in place, he attempts to transport his army via a warship, the Flynns along with Quorra escape with Kevin's disc on a Light Jet. CLU 2 pursues them in his own jet with Rinzler and a squad of guards behind him. Rinzler, who remembers his identity as Tron, crashes his jet into CLU's. After a slight struggle, CLU 2 grabs one of Rinzler's spare light batons and chases after the Flynns, leaving Tron to drown in the Sea of Simulation. After a final confrontation, Kevin reintegrates with CLU 2, destroying them both, allowing Sam and Quorra to escape to the real world.
