Bruce Patman is the richest boy in Sweet Valley. He starts gangs and attempts to rape girls, but is also a secret crybaby. Any little thing sets him off into either a violent rage or blinding sobs. He also suffers from a debilitating fear of birds.

He prefers brunettes: his serious girlfriends (Regina, Pamela, Lila) all have dark hair.

This wiki is named after his car: the black Porsche with the 1BRUCE1 license plate is his prized possession.
