Steve Randle is a greaser and a member of The Gang.
Seventeen-year-old Steve is tall, lean, cocky, and smart. He likes to comb his hair in thick complicated swirls. Along with that, he's been Soda's best buddy since grade school. He once called Darry "all brawn, no brain", and ended up with a punch to his jaw. Steve's specialty is cars. He works at the gas station with Sodapop. Steve also considers Pony "a tag along". Steve is not described much in the book, neither in the movie, where he is played by Tom Cruise.
Personality Traits: Although Steve acts rude and cocky at times, he cares for all his friends/gang members like when he told Johnny not to worry about the Socs coming into their neighborhood.
