Bruto the Strongman is a member of the Circus of Crime.
History[]
Under the name of the McFadden Brothers Circus, the Circus of Crime invited She-Hulk to train using their equipment. When she accepted, Bruto helped train her, and pressed her for more information about her relationship to the Hulk. Soon after, Ringmaster appeared and hypnotized She-Hulk into revealing her origins.
Later, Bruto watched as the hypnotized She-Hulk, now called Glamazonia, performed feats of great strength to an audience. Shortly after a wagon almost crashed into the group, Bruto found a gorilla watching from outside. Glamazonia chased after the gorilla, who was really Arthur Nagan of the Headmen. Nagan used Ringmaster's hat to revert Glamazonia back to She-Hulk. She then proceeded to capture the Circus of Crime, which presumably led to Bruto's incarceration.
Bruto continued working with the Circus of Crime afterward, though he has not been seen interacting with She-Hulk since.
