Throughout his career, Bruce is instilled with

One of his bosses, Jason Wynn, who has frequent feuds with Al Simmons, commissions Chapel to kill him. A while after Al Simmons' death, Chapel becomes a member of Youngblood

Wynn also for a time turns on Chapel. He tries to use his old enemy Giger to take him down after Chapel refuses a mission from Wynn. This story also introduces Duke, an old colleague of Chapel's and Simmons' who is a supposed traitor to the group.[2]
