Clayton (Tarzan)

Clayton is the main antagonist of Disney's 37th full-length animated feature film Tarzan, which is based on the 1912 American novel Tarzan of the Apes by the late Edgar Rice Burroughs. He is Tarzan's arch-nemesis, and the former "bodyguard" of Archimedes Q. Porter and Jane Porter.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Clayton is one of few Disney villains to be intimidating without the use of magic powers or some sort.
 * 2) Clayton initially appears as a chivalrous and polite gentleman, albeit with a delicate temper and intolerance for treating the African expedition as a vacation experience rather than a business endeavor.
 * 3) His main weapon is a shotgun. His other weapon is a machete that he tries to kill Tarzan with in their last encounter.
 * 4) He acts as a bodyguard, if a bit trigger-happy guide for the Porters, but he was planning all along to betray them and capture and sell Tarzan's gorilla family.
 * 5) Compared to most egomaniacal but cowardly Disney villains, Clayton shows himself as a fearless hunter. He fights and pursues Tarzan and his gorilla clan despite knowing their strength and only gets more incensed and vicious as they retaliate.
 * 6) He never shows any signs of cowardice. When he is faced with his own gun, he is far from begging for his life and composes himself for his end. In contrast to how he frantically tries to take the vines off his neck as he falls screaming to his death.
