John Clayton is the main villain from the movie, Tarzan.

He's a brutal hunter and poacher usually employed by more powerful villains during the major villain wars. Ironically enough, he shares the original Tarzan character's birth name, John Clayton III.

Beginnings

Clayton and Eugena Waltham were born to a pair of British aristocrats in London. Their father, Jay, was a hunter of big game, and their mother, Heather, was CEO of the massive Waltham Corporation. Waltham Corporation was very successful, that is, until MARS Industries rose, run by Aaron McCullen, father of James McCullen, who you may know today as Destro.

Waltham and MARS Industries had a bitter rivalry. In the end, MARS proved to sell superior products, and Waltham Corporation was bordering bankruptcy. Only one thing could save them, a buisness tycoon; Anthony Valmont, who offered to buy the company for a massive sum of money. Reluctantly, the Walthams signed it over. Anthony changed it and rebuilt it into the far more successful Valmont Industries, much to the Walthams' shame. After Anthony's passing, his son, Hector, took the company, slowly molding it into a more secretive syndicate he dubbed "The Dark Hand."

The money from the sale would only pay the bills for so long. The Waltham family had to find a new way to bring in money. Jay ultimately suggested killing and capturing animals, taking Eugena and Clayton under his wing. Clayton, Jay, and Eugena eventually hunted and (not always legally) made millions off of the animals they captured and killed. Through this experience, the Walthams not only rose back to the financial to tier, but bonded as a family. They learned only family could stand by you in the hardest of times.

Eugena eventually had enough hunting and retired in wealth. Clayton, however, adored the hunt. He was like an addict, only happy when chasing animals. He invited Eugena for hunts on countless occasions, but she turned most of them down. She ultimately decided to humor her brother and join him one day, much to his delight.

In the midst of what started a hunt for antelope, a pack of hungry tigers attacked. One pinned Eugena to the ground. Clayton thought fast, and lit several matches, starting an enormous fire, killing all but the one, youngest tiger.

Clayton saved Eugena, and she vowed to never let anyone hurt him...

Vs Tzekel-Khan

Word reaches Frollo of a powerful Aztec sorcerer that could interrupt his plans; accordingly, he has his right-hand man, Ratcliffe, hire the two hunters, Clayton and McLeach, to deal with the sorcerer.

He then tries to attack Khan from behind while McLeach distracts the jaguar. Armed with his machete, he prepares to give the killing blow, but Khan uses his magic to entangle Clayton in vines. Clayton hacks at the vines, but doesn't pay attention to the vine that has coiled around his neck. Having cut all but this one vine, Clayton falls to his death, hanging himself as Khan looks on.

The English Governor Ratcliffe, along with the mercenary Commander Rourke and Clayton (who had been secretly working for both Ratcliffe and McLeach in hopes of doubling his profits) sailed for the Native Lands, a region of untouched wilderness inhabited only by native tribes and animals, tasked with conquering the area for Maleficent. As the Inuit tribesman-turned-bear Kenai, his young charge Koda, and the two moose Rutt and Tuke looked on, the Powhatan tribe led by Chief Powhatan and his daughter Pocahontas rowed out in canoes to meet the visitors. Suddenly, a flare lit up the sky as Ratcliffe and his army of colonists landed on shore, ready for battle.Kenai took shelter behind a log, but Koda wasn't so lucky, being cornered by Clayton. As the hunter raised his shotgun, Kenai leapt out and knocked Clayton to the ground, giving him and Koda an opening to run for safety.

Vs Beast

Hearing that a strange Beast had been sighted, McLeach ordered Clayton to find it and bring back its head. Curious about the challenge, Clayton found the Beast traveling through the territory near the Horned King's citadel with Mulan and Quasimodo. Ambushing the group, Clayton tried to shoot Mulan, but the Beast charged him and knocked him to the ground, where the two struggled. As the Beast made to rip out Clayton's throat, the hunter managed to kick his opponent away. Just then, Governor Ratcliffe arrived with a battery of cannons, having been called in by Clayton as backup. As the groups engaged each other, Clayton shot the Beast in the shoulder, knocking him down. Just as it seemed Clayton had won, McLeach arrived on the scene, having come to check on Clayton's progress. However, both he and Ratcliffe soon came to realize that Clayton had been playing them both. As the poacher and the governor angrily confronted the duplicitous Clayton, the heroes managed to escape.

Payback time

Returning to the Pride Lands, Ratcliffe and McLeach told Clayton they had concocted a scheme to punish him for double-crossing them and advance Scar's plot to play Tarzan and Simba against each other, all at the same time. To this end, Yzma and Zira arrived and explained that Scar wanted it to appear that Simba and the lions had launched an unprovoked attack on gorilla territory. To make the illusion possible, Yzma used one of her potions to transform Clayton into a lion with the appearance of Simba. With Ratcliffe and McLeach satisfied, Clayton and Zira set out. Clayton and Zira arrived at the gorilla nesting grounds with Zira's lioness militia. However, Mowgli and his friends had also arrived, seeking refuge from Scar's attacks. Thinking fast, Mowgli knocked sand into Clayton's face, stunning him. As Zira pursued Mowgli, Tarzan jumped in to face Clayton. Bagheera tried to protect Mowgli, but Zira knocked him aside. As Clayton tried to join the fray, Baloo tackled him, knocking him to the ground. Tarzan and the other heroes assembled, presenting a united force against Clayton and Zira. Realizing that they had lost the element of surprise and the battle, the lions retreated, but the job had been done. Tarzan swore that any further incursions into gorilla territory would be met with lethal force.

Teaming with Queen Grimhilde

Vs Forces of Bambi

As Bambi struggled to get back up, Clayton and his crew closed in on the animals.

Unknown to either the animals or Clayton's group, Hades and the Sprite were nearby, with Hades forcing the Sprite to use her powers to awaken the Firebird at last. While the other hunters kept the animal heroes cornered, Clayton moved in to deal the death blow to Bambi, but before he could do so, the Firebird appeared over the ridge. The poachers were forced to flee as the Firebird unleashed its inferno over the land, consuming everything in its path.

Battle with Forces of Nature

Even worse, Clayton had been drawn to the commotion and was determined to take out the heroes and upstage McLeach.As Clayton chased after Kenai and Koda, he spotted Pocahontas and John Smith and prepared to kill the lot of them. However, another newcomer arrived on the scene with vengeance in mind; Denahi had returned, and he would not leave until he saw Kenai dead. As Clayton pulled back to retrieve his gun, Pocahontas and Smith again tried to reason with Denahi, but he would not hear any of it. Getting his rifle, Clayton was about to shoot Denahi when Kenai intervened, smashing Clayton's gun to pieces. As thanks, Denahi leapt onto Kenai's back and tried to strangle him with his spear as Clayton turned his attention to Pocahontas and Smith. He was getting the upper hand when the Spring Sprite arrived, restraining Clayton in a mass of vines. As Denahi was about to finish Kenai off with a stab, Meeko jumped on Denahi, knocking him down. The heroes ran off with Denahi in pursuit. Meanwhile, an enraged Clayton tried to cut himself free of the vines, not realizing that one was wrapped around his neck. As he cut the last vine, he plummeted into a canyon, unwittingly hanging himself.
