The Birth: Kenneth Irons' son, Bruce made his appearance in Witchblade
#10 as an information broker. Like his father, his date of birth is unknown,
owing to the slow aging that seems to be present in this familiy.
If information is power, then Bruce Wilder is a very powerful man...
or seems to be.
The Legend: Bruce operates very much behind the scenes. The son
of Kenneth Irons and Danette Boucher, he has grown to become a manipulative,
cunning man who creates drama and conflict for his own ends.
He has been associated with everyone from members of the NYPD to the
Yakuza, carefully divulging select pieces of information - inserting facts
like small needles into people's worlds.
Bruce seems to possess mystical abilities, just like his father and mother,
including regenerative abilities, slowed aging, and limited invulnerability.
His greatest power however, is his ability to engineer events via subtle
schemes and machinations... and it may be this ability above anything else
that places him in a greater position of influence than any crimelord or
officer of the law.
