Clu, which stands for Codified Likeness Utility, was a hacker program written by Kevin Flynn and played by Jeff Bridges. Clu looked just like his User, Flynn, but talked in a much different voice than his human counterpart. Not much is really known about Clu, except for the fact that Flynn used Clu a lot for hacking and for fixing Flynn's banking statements and phone bill problems. Even Flynn himself said that Clu was his best program.
He is one of the few characters in the Tron Universe to have yellow circuitry.
Tron
On the early evening of September 22, 1983, arcade owner, Kevin Flynn gave Clu commands to hack the ENCOM computer system. Clu began searching - along with Bit - in his modified Tank for code that would prove that an ENCOM programmer named Ed Dillinger stole Flynn's video games and presented them to the ENCOM executives as his own. The games soon became fantastic sellers and Dillinger was promoted to Executive V.P.; Flynn was fired by Dillinger shortly after.
While Clu was searching for the evidence, the system's security found him and began hot pursuit via Recognizers. Clu tried to destroy them all with his tank projectiles, but there were too many of them. As Clu ran away, he was ambushed by a Recognizer. Clu fired at it and successfully destroyed it; but its remains rained down on Clu's tank. The vehicle went out of control as the blast radius lifted the tank to its side and crashed into one of the many walls in the maze of the memory sector.
Clu got out of the tank as quickly as possible and tried to run away, but the recognizers caught him with its legs and "detached" him from the system. Flynn failed again in trying to get the evidence.
A little later, Clu was sent to the heart of ENCOM system, where the Master Control Program was located. The evil MCP briefly interrogated him:
- Guard: Got a pirate program here... says his name's Clu.
- MCP: What did he pull?
- Guard: He came into the system with a stolen password, and we caught him trying to raid a high-clearance memory.
- Clu: No! I must've gotten in there by mistake, I was -
- MCP: Who programmed you?
- Clu: I was simply -
Clu was thrown through the air and landed on a device that was slowly derezzing him.
- MCP: You're in trouble, Program. Why don't you make it easy on yourself? Who's your User?
- Clu: [in pain] Forget it, mister high-and-mighty Master Control! You aren't making me talk.
- MCP: Suit yourself.
Clu screamed as the device on the wall derezzed him, with the MCP taking away all of his functions so he can enhance and expand his own.
His place would later be taken by his user himself Kevin Flynn, who was later digitized into the computer world and would finish from where Clu left off and failed to do.
Clu 2
- Main Article: Clu 2
Clu 2 is a completely new version of Clu. Because Clu 1 was derezzed by the MCP in 1982, Flynn rewrote the program from scratch as Clu 2. The only relation between Clu 1 and Clu 2 is that they have the same name and user: Flynn, while the only difference is that Clu is a hacker tool designed to find the proof that Dillinger stole Flynn's intellectual property while Clu 2 was created to perfect the new system but went rogue after believing Flynn had betrayed it.
