Bruiser

Bruiser is an alternate name or alias used within the Runaways' world, most closely associated with Molly Hayes, the youngest member of the Runaways who possesses superhuman strength and uses the scrappy moniker in the Marvel series.

Few characters make their mark in just nine appearances, but Bruiser earns every panel in Marvel's Modern Age landscape. Debuting in 2005 — fittingly introduced through an Official Handbook entry — this character is woven into the fabric of the beloved Runaways world, sharing pages with the likes of Molly Hayes, Nico Minoru, and Karolina Dean in one of Marvel's most celebrated young-cast series of the 2000s. With a presence across Runaways, its digest collections, and the All-New Official Handbook, Bruiser has secured a tidy but meaningful corner of the Marvel canon — and that one key-issue appearance signals there's genuine collector weight here. A compact but intriguing figure for any fan diving deep into the Runaways era.
