History

Keith Kenyon was a criminal scientist changed when he drank a gold-based serum of his own creation which granted him superhuman strength and invulnerability. The elixir also gave him a golden glow, apparently as a side effect of the serum. Of course, being close enough to yellow meant that Green Lantern's power ring could not affect him directly, making him particularly formidable against the super-hero. He was first defeated by the Green Lantern when he was caught stealing the sunken gold that the formula required. He began to refine his criminal ways by wearing gold-plated armor and using a "gold-gun" which sprays liquid gold. After many clashes with Green Lantern, Kenyon decided to change his motif and ruthlessly began taking over criminal empires.

He eventually moved to Central City and became a foe of the Flash, Barry Allen. In recent years he apparently let go of his villanious ways. After serving his time, he moved to Keystone City and, following in his father's footsteps, became an honest Commissioner of Union 242. Overtime, his elixir has slowly turned his skin into an organic golden flesh.

Notes

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.

Appearances in Other Media

In Justice League Unlimited, Goldface appears as a recent member of Gorilla Grodd's Legion of Doom when he is seen during the raid on Gorilla City turning the gorillas into gold. During the mutiny within the Legion of Doom, he sided against Luthor and was subsequently frozen by Killer Frost, along with the other mutineers.
