History:
(Hulk I#3) - As Sheriff Jonas Tolliver and his daughter Emma entered the diner where Clem and Zeke were hanging out, Zeke asked if it were true that Jonas was keeping Bruce Banner at the Faulkner city courthouse and Clem followed up by asking Jonas if it was such a good idea to bring Banner into town. Jonas responded by asking that if Clem had a better idea, he would love to hear it, as Faulkner didn't exactly have an abundance of maximum security holding pens. Clem suggested Jonas contact FEMA since they were aware of the Hulk's recent activity and Zeke wondered aloud why FEMA didn't bring something to house the Hulk. Zeke then wondered about Faulkner's Hulk situation and whether or not the Hulk might return, at which point Clem asked how the Faulkner residents could sleep at night, not knowing whether they might wake up dead. A grumbling Jonas responded that Clem could feel free to suggest a way that Faulkner could be sure of that before reminding Clem and Zeke that the Hulk had transformed back into Bruce Banner and was in no hurry to get riled up again.

Comments: Created by John Byrne, Ron Garney and Dan Green.

    When Clem first speaks to Sheriff Jonas Tolliver, Jonas calls him "Clem" but on the next page, Jonas refers to him as "Zeke." Given that Clem was seated at the diner next to another man, it stands to reason that the other man was Zeke and there was an error in either the word balloons or the writing in which Clem was accidentally referred to as Zeke. For the purposes of this profile, I am treating Clem and Zeke as two separate characters.

    Clem's height and weight were impossible to approximate. He was never next to any characters whose height and weight have been officially determined and he was only ever seen hunched over at a diner table.

    This profile was completed on 08/15/2026 but its publication was delayed, as it was intended for the Appendix's 25th anniversary celebratory event.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Clem should be distinguished from:

Zeke

Zeke was a resident of Faulkner, Missouri and he hung out at the local diner with Clem. When Sheriff Jonas Tolliver entered the diner, Zeke asked Jonas if it was true that Jonas was holding Bruce Banner in a cell at the city courthouse. Clem then began questioning Jonas as well and Zeke wondered why FEMA had not brought something of their own to house the Hulk. Zeke then wondered whether or not the Hulk might return but Jonas soon reminded both Zeke and Clem that the Hulk had transformed back into Bruce Banner and was in no hurry to get riled up again.
