Biography[]
For years, Clayton Williams performed as a strongman in Haly's Circus. After Mary and John's deaths, Clayton comforted Dick during their funeral. He expressed his desire take Dick in but acknowledged that he would have a better life with the billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne. Clayton returned to the circus, but Haly had lost credibility due to the Grayson's fatal fall. The circus tanked and Clayton moved to Detroit participate in strongman competitions, and then to work as a bouncer.
Clayton's work took him to a club called Corvo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was visited by Dick, who informed him that Hayley's Circus performers were being targeted by a murderer named Nick Zucco. Clayton was delighted to learn about Dick's success as both a detective and a vigilante but expressed limited concern about potentially being kidnapped. Sure enough, he was promptly kidnapped by Zucco and used to lure Dick into his lair. Clayton was briefly burned with acid to torment Dick, but he escaped largely unscathed.
