When Bruce was born his parents did not equate to a super hero but one of his aunts dubbed him “Bat Baby” right away. When Bruce was 5 he was hit by a car and resulted in having his spleen removed. After he moved from the Dallas Texas area into the Buffalo area he was doing carpentry and was working at a campground when a ladder slipped and broke his arm with complications. His grand finale was when he was hit head-on and amazingly he survived but again with many complications.

Bruce greatly enjoyed living in the Ozarks with the fishing and hunting, he really enjoyed the many friends he developed.
