Even though the new star is coddled with his own 200-ft. by 75-ft. "Shark City" workshop and a corps of 23 crewmen in daily attendance, all of Bruce's schizoid personae are temperamental. He has a shocking tendency to corrode after his daily saltwater swishing. His grainy skin is subject to sun bleach too, so every week he needs a new epidermis.
