President Bruce

## Overview

President Bruce, also known as Coach Bruce, is the president of the United States of America in the Soupyhero Universe. He has always been a strong admirer of the Soupyheroes, even attempting to join their ranks when younger, listing his powers as immense upper-body strength and ADHD (or ADD; I forgot). Bruce first ran for his city council and was so beloved he ended up just being written in for the presidency. Now as the POTUS, he continues to advocate for their service and spends most of his days outside the White Haus and in their headquarters against his advisors' wishes. Even the Soupyheroes question why he spends so much time with them. Any wrong the Soupyheroes do often gets negated by a presidential pardon from Bruce. When asked during an interview if he would ever join the Soupyheroes, Bruce answered yes if they ever offered, and proceeded to explain why on live national television, saying that "I'm not very devoted to my country." Bruce is always worrying about the upcoming election, but it never seems to come during the time of the show. He has an expansive collection of Soupyhero Funko Plops which can be seen in the Oval Office and is always holding a drink. Bruce was also secretly The Ponderer, but after this was discovered he instead became Wheels.

## Bruce Social

Like all good presidents of his time, Bruce had extensive reach over his constituents using social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, despite his gripe against cellphones. (Bruce gets banned for something). A frustrated President Bruce made the executive decision to launch a brand-new social media platform with an emphasis on truth and free speech, dubbed Bruce-Social. It was functionally identical to Twitter except for having a clunkier UI and using 'rebruce' instead of 'retweet'. The masses instantly flocked to use their again beloved president's new platform, (his issue) already having exited the news cycle. Twitter, Facebook, and the other platforms completely lost all membership, prompting them to shut down. Now the only primary social media platform is Bruce-Social, which even the Soupyheroes are forced to use.

## Federal Bruce Investigators

The Federal Bruce Investigators (FBI) are an enforcement branch of clones of President Bruce. The clones came to be when a very good friend of President Bruce from school who had the power to make infinite clones of only one person chose Bruce as his host. Now an entire government branch is dedicated to the organization and usage of these Bruce clones, serving as a replacement to the disestablished Federal Bureau of Investigation, who President Bruce described being "not as trustworthy." These clones are all deemed imperfect as they lack nipples, and very rarely a clone emerges incredibly deformed or defected, such as Mr. Brute or The Superintendent.
