On what was supposed to be a routine secret mission to Trucial Abysmia, a Joe team consisting of Outback, Dusty, and two trainees was ambushed by a patrol and captured before they could escape.  Lightfoot, one of the trainees, was tortured and forced to reveal their objective — to destroy weapons cache hidden somewhere in the desert.  Mangler, the other trainee, despised Lightfoot for talking, and ridiculed him until Dusty "reprimanded" him with a well-placed kick to the gut.  The patrol left, leaving the Joes to fend for themselves, and assuming that they would try to get out of the country rather than continue the mission.  Lightfoot pressed the team to continue, and Mangler, being the strongest, carried his fellow trainee who was too beaten to walk.  After a perilous trek through the desert, the Joes made it to the cache, which the Abysmia patrol had reached many hours earlier.  Sneaking in, Mangler and Lightfoot managed to destroy the cache.  The Joes then made a
break for it in a stolen armored car.  During the escape, Mangler apologized to Lightfoot for treating him poorly throughout the rest of the mission.  Soon afterwards, the Joes realized that their armored car did not have the speed $kind=archive;required to escape the patrol, which was hot on their tails.  Mangler jumped off, grabbing a machine gun and pistol, and managed to stop pursuit.  He was struck by another armored car in the process, and crushed to death.  Outback later remarked that he was a hero; "Heck, the only real heroes are the dead
ones."
