==Fictional character biography==
'''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.

He wears armour crafted from the gold he found that offers some protection from physical and energy attacks and often utilises weapons based on the gold he found.

* IGoldface appears in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', Goldface (voiced by an uncredited [[Lex Lang]]). He appears as a recent member of [[Gorilla Grodd]]'s [[Secret Society of Super Villains|Secret Society]] when he is seen. This version can turn anyone to gold by touching them similar to [[Midas|King Midas]]. He is first seen in "Dead Reckoning" during the raid on [[Gorilla City]] turning the gorillas into gold. When the Secret Society holds a meeting with Luthor to discuss their plans, Luthor makes an example out of Goldface and uses a device on his belt to hurt Goldface's face. He survived, for he was then seen during the mutiny within the Secret Society, when he sided against Luthor and was subsequently frozen by [[Killer Frost]], along with the other mutineers.
