I decided to do a quick post on a former Green Lantern and Flash Rogue, Goldface. I barely remembered this guy from the early days until he showed up leading the Keystone City Union during Geoff Johns’ run on the Flash. He’s a pretty cool character and I’m hoping we see him next month in Rogues’ Revenge. So, here’s the story on Goldface “Don’t mess with the Union.”<\/p>\n

Keith Kenyon is a criminal scientist. He drinks a gold-based serum he has been working on. This grants him superhuman strength and invulnerability. He also exhibits a golden glow.
Gold being yellow gives him a great advantage over the superhero Green Lantern, as his powers do not work on that color. However, he is defeated while trying to steal sunken gold needed for his endeavors.
Goldface creates gold-plated armor and a ‘gold-gun’ which sprays liquid gold. After many clashes with Green Lantern, Kenyon decides to change his motif and ruthlessly began taking over criminal empires.
He eventually moves to Central City and becomes a foe of the Flash II (Barry Allen). After serving time, he moves to Keystone City and, following in his father’s footsteps, became an honest Commissioner of Union 242. Over time, his elixir has slowly turned his skin into an organic gold flesh. He was most recently a supporting character in the stories of Wally West, the previous Flash, prominently featured in a story arc that had his ex-wife, Blacksmith and her rogues taking over Keystone and Central City.<\/p>\n
