Young Justice: Bowhunter Security's New Member Redeems a Classic Villain

While Young Justice season 4 may have concluded, the Team's adventures continue in DC Comics' tie-in series Young Justice: Targets. The first issue includes an appearance from Will Harper's Bowhunter Security and their surprising new hire. Young Justice, DC's animated take on its young heroes, is known for its expansive adaptation of the comic book universe. Now, that expansiveness includes a heroic turn for Gotham villain Clayface.

Bowhunter Security debuted in season 3 of Young Justice and was most recently seen in the second arc of season 4. The security firm was founded by former Justice League member Will Harper, clone of the original Roy Harper. The Harper clones usually provide security together, sometimes pulling in the help of other heroes, like the newly-heroic Clayface. Clayface - original name Matthew Hagen - was last seen onscreen in season 3, where he was under the control of Mad Hatter.

Clayface is the first to jump into the fold to combat Perdita's attackers, proving his usefulness and true heroic nature. Other than a brief canonical audioplay performed during DC FanDome 2020, prior to season 4's release, this issue of Young Justice: Targets is the first time fans have seen Clayface on the side of the heroes in Young Justice history.

Matthews"goes full Clayface" and provides unique protection for both the queen and the other heroes, using his abilities to guard his allies from tranquilizer darts. Though a sonic attack eventually neutralizes Clayface, his new heroic status and willingness to fight prove, again, that anyone can change sides, good or bad, in the Young Justice universe.
