Bio

Bruno Sheppard, codename Mad Dog, is V.E.N.O.M.'s toughest agent, a convicted kidnapper with an orange Mohawk and many tattoos. He drives the Stinger, an orange Pontiac GTO that becomes a tank with a metal claw, and wears the Magna-Beam mask. Doug Stone voices him.

Bruno Sheppard is described as V.E.N.O.M.’s toughest agent, skilled at hand-to-hand combat and disguise, with an orange Mohawk and heavy tattoos, and a convicted kidnapper according to a reference list. Doug Stone voices him, and also Nash Gorey, Maximus Mayhem, Boris Bushkin and the M.A.S.K. heroes Matt Trakker and Hondo MacLean.

His vehicle is the Stinger, an orange Pontiac GTO that becomes a tank with a hidden metal claw. Several episodes call it Scorpion, and a fan article on cartoon vehicles that deserved toys writes about the Stinger’s scorpion shell. Stinger first shows up in episode 43, and the second Kenner series released it with his figure. His mask, Magna-Beam, attracts, repels or tears metal. Racing Arena is an assault pack that uses the same mask, and Barracuda, a yellow motorcycle that becomes a rocket glider (Jackal in Europe), carries New Magna-Beam, a holographic double.

In the racing season he is one of the V.E.N.O.M. drivers. A fan page records him tossing Kenny, a young helper to Buddie Hawks, aside in Demolition Duel to the Death.
