Biography
Season 8
Bruno was an enforcer for the mob and Ace of Clubs owner Ron Milano. Using Kryptonite, he made counterfeit money. For some unknown reason, he mugged Chloe Sullivan along with A.J., stealing Chloe's bag after getting a whack from Lois Lane before leaving in his car.
After that, Bruno went to the Ace of Clubs to have a drink, where Jimmy Olsen, who was working there as a bartender, asked to get an advance on his pay from Milano. Ricky then came to get Bruno because Milano wanted to see him.
When Milano began to mock Bruno for the mugging, Bruno shot him dead with a silencer in the backroom of the Ace of Clubs after Milano said that they were going legit. He then took over the entire business and told his men that they were first going to get rid of the heroes, starting with Stiletto.
When Jimmy came back into work late holding his camera, Bruno took it off him and recognized the photos of Chloe and Lois as Stiletto, they knock Jimmy out, and when he woke up, he beat him to get information.
When this is happening, he was in the backroom seeing through the counterfeit money when Clark Kent get inside with super speed, but unfortunately for Clark, Kryptonite was being used in the counterfeit money, which made Clark weak enough that Bruno was able to beat him up like a human being.
Bruno savagely kicked Clark repeatedly asking who he was and what he was doing there. He continued to beat Clark with Ricky telling Mannheim to ease up. Lois, as Stiletto, jumped down through a skylight and knocked Clark away in time.
As Bruno went to shoot her, Clark jumped in front of Lois blocking her from danger. Jimmy joined the fight and beat Bruno down.
Season 11
