Bronze Tiger is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. There have been two different characters to assume the mantle of Bronze Tiger:
- Ben Turner: The original Bronze Tiger, Ben Turner, first appeared in Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter #1 in 1975. Ben Turner was a skilled martial artist who was initially an antagonist, serving as an enemy to Richard Dragon, the main character of the series. However, Turner eventually turned away from his criminal past and became a hero, often working alongside other DC Comics characters such as Batman and the Suicide Squad.
As Bronze Tiger, Ben Turner possesses exceptional martial arts skills and is considered one of the world’s greatest fighters. He is a master in various martial arts disciplines, including karate, kung fu, and judo. Bronze Tiger has been a member of the Suicide Squad and has also trained other characters in combat techniques.
- Marcus Wise: In the New 52 continuity, a different character named Marcus Wise took on the role of Bronze Tiger. This version of Bronze Tiger first appeared in Suicide Squad Vol. 4 #1 in 2011. Marcus Wise is a highly trained assassin and mercenary who is recruited into the Suicide Squad, a team of supervillains coerced into carrying out dangerous missions for the government.
Both versions of Bronze Tiger are skilled fighters, but their backgrounds and storylines differ. Ben Turner’s portrayal often emphasizes his journey from villain to hero, while Marcus Wise’s portrayal focuses on his role as a member of the Suicide Squad.
