"It's nice to have your work recognized after so many years being the good little boy in the shadows." Randy Klein, Prey

Randy Klein was a metahuman with the ability to turn into a shadow creature.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Randy could turn into a shadow creature, which although it had a smoky appearance, still appeared to have a skeleton under Clark's x-ray vision. While the shadow creature, he had super speed, and the ability of flight. He could also make himself intangible, but could still attack others.

[edit] Season Eight

Randy was a member of a group of kryptonite infected metahumans who attended Chloe Sullivan's group therapy session at the Isis Foundation. When citizens of Metropolis were being stalked by a mysterious serial killer, including one of the group members, Mary Pierson, Randy pretended to be the killer so as to acquire the attention he always wanted.

He later attacked Davis and Jimmy Olsen, before escaping at the sight of Clark Kent. Jimmy and Clark searched for the shadow creature. Clark used his x-ray vision to see through Randy's invisibility and then knocked Randy out by throwing a large tire at him with incredible force and speed. After Randy was knocked out, Jimmy shot his photo. Randy was taken into custody, but Tess' assistant asked him to join Tess' team of "superheroes" that was started a few weeks before, with Bette Sans Souci. Later, it was revealed that Davis Bloome was the serial killer.

[edit] Notes

• The character Randy, and his ability to transform into a shadow, bears a strong resemblance to the DC villain the Shadow Thief. This character is also capable of transforming into an intangible shadow and also move at superhuman speed, but physically able to attack others at will.

• Although he was recruited by Tess at the end of Prey, Randy did not appear in Injustice
