With the Forum locking up in a few weeks, I realize I am not going to get around to doing Hero Machine or actual customs of any of my created characters. So, in hopes of preservation, I will be posting all of my WIP filecards and bios in this thread. I'm hoping during the Holiday break to get all my created characters updated, including ones I haven't started a bio for (like Jararaca).

We'll start with Cobra and the Iron Grenadiers, then some bonus ones at the end.
I'll address the elephant in the room. Some of these are decades old and haven't been touched in years. Certain descriptive word use is simply to give me a tone/feel of what I was trying to create. Spy agencies around the world have used honeypots to compromise spies, political figures, etc and turn them into double agents. These characters would be those unnamed agents put in positions to compromise others. That's the direction I was going for and I planned to clean it up after putting more thought into them.

Also, there are specific letters after the occupation title. These are simply identifiers for me when fleshing out the character.

They are equipped with newer fluorocarbon propellant flame projectors, which spew burning streams of jellied gasoline. Encased from head to foot in fire-resistant, air-conditioned fighting suits, Incinerators can take the heat as well as they can dish it out.

From Blowtorch: “I really hate these guys. They use their flamethrowers to start forest fires and torch houses. They exist only to cause mayhem and chaos, destroying property and the lives of their victims. That’s not what a professional flamethrower does.

COBRA NINJA MASTER bm
Codename: Boomslang
Filename: Classified
PCS: Cobra Ninja-Viper Master
SCS: Demolitions
POB: Unknown (Africa?)
Grade: Ninja Master

Out of twelve candidates being evaluated to augment the GIJOE Ninja Force, Whirlwind was considered the most promising of the lot. Demonstrating a fast-paced kinetic fighting style, he fought with Snake-Eyes and Jinx to a standstill during an intense sparring match, with neither of the three combatants able to gain the upper hand. His appointment to the team was immediately approved, but prior to his transfer to the Force’s secluded training facility he suddenly disappeared.

Months later secret security tapes were passed along to the JOEs by an undercover agent within the Cobra ranks, revealing a new assassin working for Cobra Commander, a renegade ninja known only as Boomslang. Recognizing the new operative’s fighting style and manneriSCS, the GIJOE brass has reason to believe the former recruit was another victim of Dr. Mindbender’s improved Brainwave Scanner. Boomslang was apparently the new leader of Cobra’s Ninja-Vipers. Along with Canebrake, the two began training more Ninja-Vipers to carry out the head snake’s evil plans for global domination. Once a proud man of honor and gentle nature, Cobra turned him into a vile facsimile of his former self. He is now as treacherous and slithery as his namesake, with deadly skills to match. He is a highly trained martial artist, holding several black belts in different forms, and having mastered the ways of the ninja. Skilled not only in the use of edged weapons, he’s highly proficient with nunchaku, Chigiriki, Shuriken, Fukiya, Bo, Sai, and other traditional and untraditional ninja weapons. It is apparent he has received training with explosives and demolitions, along with other methods of assassination.

Submitted by Jinx: “Snake-Eyes and I sparred with Boomslang during his evaluation. Impressed with his fighting skills, I was also pleased to learn he had studied with a well-respected clan that has close ties to ours. He was a rare individual, skillful and ready to take his place as a Master. It is quite sad that someone so honorable could be manipulated by Cobra. I suspect now that with both Storm Shadow and Boomslang teaching these new Cobra ninjas, the JOEs’ll have their work cut out for them. Still, Snake-Eyes believes that when his former sword brother will finally free himself from the effects of the brainwave scanner, and when he does, he’ll bring these others back along with him.”

COBRA SUBVERSION DIVISION wm
Codename: Braco the Clown
Filename: Rheems, Gary
PCS: Psychological Warfare
SCS: Child Psychology/Entertainer
POB: Tampa, Florida
Grade: Contract Agent

Rheems was running a small business in South Florida, renting himself out as an entertainer for children’s birthday parties, store openings, bachelorette parties, and corporate picnics. He attended classes at a college in Tampa during the day, hoping to become a child psychologist. The money wasn’t bad for the time he invested and he had plenty of extra time for himself. After earning his degree, Rheems put his clown career on hold to send resumes to various hospitals across the country. He traveled to the West coast and to New England twice for job interviews, but was never offered a position. Returning to Tampa, he broke out his clown shoes and nose and went back to working the seltzer bottle circuit, resenting every booking that kept him from securing a position in his chosen field. For two years he sent out resumes with no success. Rheems patience was finally tested when he worked a birthday party for a Tampa VIP. The mayor’s son shot a party toy into Rheems’ eye. He was rushed to the emergency room and admitted for a serious eye injury. After several days in intensive care, is doctor told him he would never fully regain the vision in that eye ever again.

The injury, combined with his growing resentment for children, sent him over the edge. Rheems began running over children in crosswalks with his bicycle, forcing school buses off the road, booby-trapping the swings and equipment at playgrounds, and sent cherry bombs to schools all over Florida. After several children were seriously hurt at a COBRA run daycare facility, he was kidnapped by COBRA agents and taken before Cobra Commander. The head snake recognized the young clown’s potential and sent him to Dr. Mindbender for an appointment with the Brainwave Scanner. With his mind subtly altered to prevent him from attacking Cobra personnel, Rheems was renamed Braco the Clown. He serves in the Cobra Subversion Division planning urban chaos.

Psyche-Out says: “As a trained psychologist myself, I can understand the processes of the human mind. I’ve studied the profiles of serial killers, mass-murderers, child-killers, and others that are mentally deranged. All of them had their motives for madness. With Braco, I just don’t now. First the loss of his eye and who knows what the brainwave scanner did to that already troubled mind…”

*Note* I create this character after seeing a video of a clown working a party and getting injured in the eye. Looking to use a Batman clown head to start. The idea of a clown working for Cobra, not like the Joker, but more like ummm, Pennywise(?) seemed intriguing. Now uses his knowledge of Child Psychology to intimidate the family members of captured scientists and VIPs into providing their secrets.

Canebrake was one of several potential candidates being considered to augment the GIJOE Ninja Force during the early nineties. It is not known how or why the talented ninja recruit came to work for the evil organization known as Cobra, but some members of the GIJOE Team believe that when Storm Shadow was subjected to the brainwave scanner he inadvertently revealed Canebrake’s identity and location. Documents obtained by the JOEs revealed that Canebrake was captured by Night Creepers and taken to a remote Cobra facility where he was subjected to a mixture of chemicals and the brainwave scanner to become an assassin. A disciplined martial artist, Canebrake is highly skilled in the use of edged weapons and tends to favor poison-tipped throwing knives and shurikens when not blowing things up.

Excerpt from Jinx on Snake-Eyes’s behalf: “We both met with canebrake, or Puma as he was known, to evaluate his potential for the Ninja Force. We found him to be highly disciplined and highly skilled in the arts of ninjutsu. Snake-Eyes doesn’t believe that Storm Shadow betrayed him to Cobra, but as a subject of the brainwave scanner himself, he realizes even a trained ninja master can be broken.”

POB: Various
Grade: Captain (equivalent)

After watching his naval invasion forces suffer crushing defeat after defeat at the hands of the GIJOE Team, Cobra Commander seized on the idea of creating a seaborne equivalent of his urban shock troops-the Alley-Vipers-the quick strike assault troopers capable of operating in the field with little or no armored support. He ordered the Cobra High Command to immediately begin planning the new specialized assault force.

Six months and several hundred million dollars later, the new group, called the Coral Snakes, were in the early operational stage. Many of the troops were culled from a group of hardened Eel Officers who had already proven their capacity for conducting operations above or below sea level. Since Cobra vehicle proficiency was a prerequisite for every Eel candidate, the new training program was able to concentrate solely on new assault tactics. The new rapid deployment force was capable of assaulting and securing both military and civilian targets until the main occupying force moved into position. Similar in organization to the US Marines, the Coral Snakes are familiar with the operation and layout of most sea-going vessels, cruise ships, cargo haulers, tankers, oil platforms, research, military, and other civilian commercial vessels.

The Coral Snakes use prototype weapons provided by Destro’s MARS R&D Facility that are based on stolen US next-gen schematics. Their distinctive red/yellow/black battle suits are shockproof, waterproof, bullet-resistant, CBR-sealed, fire-resistant, and can withstand the full effects of water-to-land environmental changes (sand, sea water, rocks, marine life).

From Wet-Suit: “The Coral Snakes are the dirtiest, sneakiest, and the deadliest fighters min the Cobra Navy. They are the ones that ol’ fangface calls on to capture or sink commercial shipping traffic, destroy military and civilian targets, seize oil platforms or research vessels, and commit acts of high seas piracy. Fortunately, the JOE Team is always there when we need to be, to stop them each and every time! YO JOE!”

POB: Madagascar
Grade: Major (equivalent)

Any visitor to Cobra Island or any Cobra base is more than likely to stumble across a wide variety of snakes, and not just the two-legged kind. With so many venomous reptiles around, a certain amount of caution must be exercised for the safety of Cobra personnel. Cobra Commander asked Zartan to find him a talented individual to keep the snakes in line. Zartan knew of a snake expert in Madagascar and made the introductions that brought Johanson to Cobra. The small, thin man had recently left a government-appointed job due to “inappropriate use of reptiles” and accepted the position in Cobra. He was brought to Cobra Island and began the task of selecting qualified personnel from the Desert Scorpion rank to assist him set up a biological reserve for some of the world’s most dangerous snakes. The newly named Krait traveled the globe and brought back thousands of deadly reptiles. With Dr. Mindbender’s help, he began experimenting with snake DNA to create highly toxic poisons and new snake breeds. The new poisons were given to Cobra assassins for use in the field and played a key part in the creation of the Venomization process that enhanced certain Cobra troops.

Krait has been bitten several times over the years, but has survived each bite due to his tolerance for venom. Every day for the past twenty years he has injected snake venom into his body. He has developed a deep affection for his pet snakes and has absolutely no tolerance for clumsy Cobra troops that mishandle or step on his beloved snakes.

Overheard from a conversation between two Viper guards during an infiltration of a remote Cobra base: “…he said something about watching your step. I thought he meant when the head snake was around, but he meant look out for all those ACTUAL snakes slithering all over the place. I almost stepped on a rattler!”

“Yeah, don’t ever step on one. Krait thinks they’re like his kids or sumptin’. You hurt one of them and you might just find yourself strapped to a table looking up at the ceiling while Dr. Mindbender and Krait look down at you!”

*Note* I always thought Cobra needed someone to wrangle snakes for any ceremonies. Scarlett and Dr Biggles both carried snakes during their initiation and an early issue had a Cobra Trooper carrying a globe with a Cobra wrapped around it.

Considered one of the perks of being a Cobra Viper, all personnel are issued civilian clothing (jumpsuits, uniforms) that are the same color scheme as their field uniforms (purple for Techno-Vipers, blue for Tele-Vipers, etc). While every effort is made to ensure the legitimacy of the entire operation, any Rave-Viper inept enough to allow the public to discover the entire operation is a Cobra-funded front knows that he/she will be severely disciplined (permanent Toxo-Viper duty).

Subject is a cloned simulacrum based on the genetic code of Serpentor and the second attempt by Dr. Mindbender to create the ultimate Cobra Emperor. With the original DNA source material lost and only using cloned cells recovered from Serpentor's body, Reptilicus has been carefully created under strict security. New DNA recovered from other source material has resulted in a new approach to military warfare. Instead of searching strictly for famous historical military warriors, the criteria was to find material from famous historical military leaders, so that their experience and tactical minds could make a more emotionally stable Emperor.

Dr. Mindbender synthesized the DNA of Sun Tzu, Saladin, Charlemagne, Hammurabi, Shaka, William Wallace, Lord Nelson, Simon Bolivar, General George S. Patton, and Thutmose II.

*Note* I got the name Reptilicus from a movie I saw on the shelf at the local Hollywood video right about the time the ARAH comic packs were hitting the shelves. Serpentor had a new colored uniform and new head. He didn't seem like Serpentor to me, so when I saw the DVD title, I started thinking about the back story.

SCS: Assassin
POB: Unknown
Grade: None (Genetic Replicant)

The origins of Rhingal are completely shrouded in secrecy. Cobra Commander and Dr. Mindbender have taken every precaution to keep “Project Snapdragon” from the other members of the Cobra High Command.

Through certain underground contacts, Dr. Mindbender was approached by a lone Red Ninja seeking favor with Cobra, in return for extrememly sensitive data the evil Doctor would be interested in. At the meeting the Red Ninja was captured by a squad of highly trained Cobra Ninja-Vipers and subjected to the Brainwave Scanner. During his interrogation he confessed he had been a member of the Red Ninjas squad that had attacked Snake-Eyes, Jinx, and Scarlett at the cabin in the High Sierras.

During the fighting, he had fought with skill, wounding several of the JOEs before being attacked by Snake-Eyes and a weakened Timber. As the JOEs pulled Storm Shadow from the stream, the severly wounded Red Ninja had managed to crawl to safety in the woods. After the JOEs left the area, he returned to the cabin and found medical supplies hidden below the ruins.

When he had recovered he had gone upstream and discovered the bodies of his fellow Red Ninjas covered by rocks near the falls. At each grave two swords had been thrust into the dirt to serve as make-shift grave markers. Behind the falling water he also found more blood stained weapons inside a sealed canvas bag, including his own. Realizing the JOEs were concerned for the native wildlife disturbing the bodies, they had hid the weapons behind the falls to hide the blood scent . Wanting to equip himself with a small enough blade, he started to take the weapons out of the bag to clean them. With sudden clarity he began to wonder who’s blood it was exactly on the weapons.

He realized he was in the unique position of possibly having the genetic material of four prominent members of the GIJOE Team and that Cobra Commander and Dr. Mindbender would reward him handsomely for bringing the DNA to them. He quickly repacked the bag, made his way back to the extraction sight, and headed out to make contact with the nearest Cobra cell. Several days later he was a prisoner of Cobra.

Dr. Mindbender placed the Red Ninja in a medically-induced coma for security and went into his secret lab to study the weapons. Several days later he had manage to identify over twenty different samples and isolate five unique cultures: two men, two women, and a wolf. Knowing who the Red Ninjas had fought, he realized what could be done with the combined DNA of Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlett, and Jinx. Cobra would have the ultimate weapon to use against GIJOE!

Dr. Mindbender worked on in secrecy until the real Cobra Commander returned and had him buried inside the freighter on Cobra Island. When he was revived years later, he told the Commander of his discovery. He was immediately ordered to return to the project and create his master weapon. A few months later, while attending a Cobra function, he took notice of a young female Ninja that requested an audience with Cobra Commander to offer her deadly services. Calling herself, Snapdragon, she quickly eliminated several Night Creepers and one of their Leaders during her ‘audition’. Dr. Mindbender realized if he could combine her DNA along with the other samples, he would have an even deadly weapon.

Under the guise of a required medical examinination as part of her induction, he managed to obtain enough genetic material and blood samples. From this, Dr. Mindbender created another simulacrum, combining the genetic materials of the JOEs along with Snapdragon's to create the ultimate redundancy to prevent another Serpentor rise to power and a means to defeat the JOE Ninjas once and for all.

To join the their ranks, all Riot-Viper candidates must serve a minimum of two years as a Viper, one year as a specialized Viper (Tele-Viper, Frag-Viper, HEAT-Viper), and six months of distinguished service as an Alley-Viper, before they can even be considered. Then once they are accepted, the candidates are subjected to three months of intense physical conditioning to prepare them for filed operations. All throughout their training they are given steroids and their food intake is carefully regulated by a trained nutritionist to increase muscle mass. Their brains are zapped with a modified brainwave scanner to increase reaction time. Classroom instruction involves actual missions to train the recruits in all forms of land combat. Each recruit is fully taught in sabotage, anarchy, subversion, chaos, and domestic terror. After a year of training the candidates are initiated into the Riot-Viper Corps. Once they’ve been issued their combat gear and uniforms, a two-month acclimation period is scheduled on the outskirts of Cobra Island. Helicopter drops onto concrete from fifty-foot heights are standard practice, along with exposure to all temperature extremes, and tests of strength.

From Hawk: ”Here is what we know. Each Riot-Viper battle suit is fully insulated from the elements and composed of an exo-skeleton that amplifies the strength of the wearer by a factor of four. The armor is second generation Kevlar-web sandwiched with titanium trauma plates. It is capable of withstanding a direct hit from a grenade launcher, although the integrity will be compromised. A suite of electronics imaging sensors is linked to the state of the art helmet and backpack. Sleeve-mounted weapons include a flamethrower, tear gas launcher, grenade launcher, and smoke projector. A wrist-mounted computer database aids every Riot-Viper in determining the best locations to place explosives and create anarchy. Their main weapon, created by Destro’s weapons company, is capable of creating sonic, seismic, and magnetic pulses that disrupt targets at a molecular level. In a town of 35,000 in the Midwest a single Riot-Viper was able to tap into the electric service, black out half the population, shut down the emergency communications networks, reprogram all the traffic signals to three-second circuits, destroyed key roadways, and set fire to a recycling facility. It took the National Guard a month to repair the damage. I’ve ordered all the JOEs to be on alert and have authorized the use of anti-tank weapons to stop these new Cobras.”

PCS: Cobra Navy Officer Corps
SCS: Cobra Naval Vehicle Operators & Officer Crew
POB: Various
Grade: Ensigns, Lt. Jgs, Lieutenants (equivalent)

In the Cobra Navy there are many tiers, with the Sea Serpents being the lowest of the grade officers. Prior to being selected to command a specific craft, they primarily provide critical crew staffing in the areas of electronics (computers, sonar, navigation, communications, and weapons systems), and in mechanical engineering (diesel engine repair and operation). In addition to being familiar with every known craft in the Cobra arsenal, each Sea Serpent is a fully trained Eel, capable of conducting operations above and below sea level. Sea Serpents that demonstrate superior leadership skills and devotion to the Cobra cause are selected to become primary operators of the Morays, BUGGs, Sea Rays, Man-O-Wars, Wave Crushers, Rats, and Mantis subs, becoming Lampreys, Secto-Vipers, Sea Slugs, Sub-Vipers, and Moray specialists.

From Cutter: “The Sea Serpents are the guys you gotta watch out for! After being Eels, they know it’s only a matter of time until they’re the ones sitting high and dry in their own big, comfy vessel while the other poor slobs have to go back in the water. Command is like a big brass ring to these guys. It makes them extremely motivated and quite willing to take huge risks. And once they get behind the controls of a Moray Hydrofoil or a BUGG, it’s hell or high water before they’ll let go!”

COBRA NAVAL CREW various m & f
Codename: Sea Snakes
Filenames: Various

POB: Various
Grade: Senior Enlisted Personnel

The Sea Snakes are the enlisted troops of the Cobra Naval forces. After CNSST (Cobra Navy Sea Snakes Trooper) recruits complete basic infantry training and two other marine assault courses, they are sent to an unknown location run by Techno-Viper instructors, who familiarize them with the workings of every craft in the Cobra Navy. Once promoted to the Sea Snakes rank (CPO), they are assigned to a specific Cobra base (arctic, tropical coastal, ect) for a period of one year. Though the Sea Snakes must be scuba-certified, being Eel-trained is not a requirement for posting to the CNSST program. Each SST must be familiar with electronics repair, diesel mechanics, navigation, weapons systems, and small boat operations. Sea Snakes augment the crews of Moray Hydrofoils, BUGGs, other small craft, and larger ships (up to Frigate class) and submarines. When not on active patrols or missions, each SST is responsible for maintaining every vehicle and the bays housing them.

From Topside: “Sea Snakes are the sailors of the Cobra Navy. They start out at the bottom and maybe if they show some incentive and skill, they might get the chance to move up to the officer corps. Of course, they have to get by me first!”

COBRA NINJA ASSASSIN amerasian f

Filename: Unknown
PCS: Cobra Ninja and Swordmaster

POB: Unknown (Possibly Japan)
Grade: Contract Agent Aligned with Cobra

Very little is known about Snapdragon, the beautiful, but deadly female ninja seen working for Cobra. Those that have attempted to dig into her background have mysteriously disappeared, never to be heard from again. The few pieces of data that have been found only lead to more unanswered questions. Is she the former student of a rogue ninja master, expelled from the Arashikage clan for an act of betrayal? Was she hidden away from the clan and instructed in the ways of the ninja in seclusion? Is it possible she is the daughter of either Snake-Eyes or Storm Shadow? The only facts known for certain about her is that she trained with Storm Shadow after he was brainwashed into rejoining Cobra and she may have been part of the Cobra ninjas that turned Junko Akita to evil.

Snapdragon is a natural gymnast, an Olympic-class athlete and fencing champion, holder of numerous black belts from different martial arts forms, and is highly skilled in the use of edged weapons and exotic weaponry. She has been trained in several different fighting styles, ranging from boxing to brawling, making her a ‘jack of all trades’ fighter, able to adapt to any fighting style to complete her mission. An expert assassin, Snapdragon is proficient with rifles, explosives, poisons, and military firearms. Ambidextrous, beautiful, and deadly, she is wanted in connection with seven separate assassinations and three unsolved murders in just the Far East. The only real insight into her personality is that Snapdragon never wears the same battle armor twice.

From Kamakura: “I do not know who this Snapdragon is, or of her mysterious past. She works for Cobra, so she is my enemy. She has trained with Storm Shadow, so I do not doubt her level of skill. She may be beautiful as the flower she is named for, but Snapdragon is as deadly as they come.”

*reading this again, I'm kinda getting a Dawn Moreno vibe, although this character was created long ago. I was trying to cover both skill sets of Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow in the bio to add to the confusion of whether she actually was the offspring of Snake-Eyes or of Storm Shadow. Or was that just a rumor that got attached to her. I think Scarlett's relationship with Snake-Eyes would be interesting knowing he had a kid out there. But it would also move Storm Shadow's motivations, in a 'sins of the father' esque way.

SMS: Ex-Russian Naval Infantry (Riverine Ops)
POB: Classified
Grade: None (MIlitary Prisoner assigned to Penal Battalion)

Krazy Ivan was once a highly trained member of the 336th Guards Naval Infantry Regiment stationed at Baltysk, and his unit deployed to Afghanistan during the last years of the conflict. While in country as a Scout Diver, he became part of a riverine force, conducting vital missions behind enemy lines alongside other Russian Naval Spetsnaz. He soon developed exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills, specializing in wetwork and advanced recon. The fighting was intense and many of his fellow soldiers lost their lives to the Mujahadeen fighters. Krazy Ivan was determined to return home safely to his young wife, so he practiced daily, throwing his combat spade at targets repeatedly. During off duty hours his superiors would find him with a wetstone, honing the edge to razor-sharpness.

The day his unit returned home he discovered his wife and her lover in bed together. The thrice decorated war veteran snapped, grabbing the closest weapon he could lay his hands on, his spade, and attacked the couple. After his neighbors alerted officials, they discovered Krazy Ivan sitting on the front step of his apartment, calmly sharpening his digging tool. The officers entered the residence and discovered the mutilated remains of his wife and the unit’s Political Officer in the bedroom. Krazy Ivan was taken into custody. He would have been shot immediately if not for the intervention of a KGB Colonel. The Colonel met with him in his prison cell and gave him a choice. A conviction would result in his immediate death by firing squad or he could work special ops for the KGB. Krazy Ivan accepted the offer and was tried under Article 58 of the Soviet Criminal Code-sentenced to a penal battalion for twenty years of hard labor at a remote gulag as cover.

The KGB knew of Krazy Ivan’s abilities and skills in combat for some time and they realized executing him would be a waste of a valuable State asset. They arranged for him to receive special training in certain more advanced skills and told him he would be executed should he fail any future assignments. When Krazy Ivan is not involved with any Oktober Guard missions he remains behind the walls of a KGB run installation, but when his exceptional skills are needed he is released with the condition he return to his handlers after the mission is over.

From Hardline: “As the senior field officer of the Oktober Guard, I alone am aware of the circumstances that brought Krazy Ivan to our unit. I do not believe any of the soldiers in my command know that he is a convicted murderer-as far as they know he is simply a former soldier trying to earn his freedom from a penal battalion. I am not comfortable sharing the field of battle with such a highly trained professional killing machine, regardless of his mental state and my own opinions towards Political Officers in general. His handlers believe him to be incapable of resistance. However, once in the field all soldiers resist to their own degree once they are out of sight of watchful eyes. Knowing he has a death sentence hanging over him, it seems to make him fight harder, but if he attempts to escape or betray us, I will do my duty by following orders to shoot to kill.”

Returned home from duty overseas to discover his wife and the unit Zampolit (Political Officer) in bed. Slaughtered them with his combat spade. Sentenced to death, but was remanded to prison because of his skills. Is let out of prison for assignments (suicide missions), but knows the consequences if he doesn't return (defects or runs to ground). His superiors are surprised he keeps surviving the 'impossible' missions.

Commando Tropas Especiales (CTE) are part of Cuban special forces and they are specialized for jungle warfare (fighting in the jungle). Members of Commando Tropas especiales have taken part in battles in Angola and other African countries. They also have been involved in the conflicts in Central America, as in Nicaragua. According to the various sources, the operators from the Commando Tropas Especiales are highly skilled and trained for infiltration, sniper operations, working with biological warfare and espionage. Commando Tropas Especiales are consisted of the teams which are trained to work in small groups that are able to locate high value and strategically important targets and finish the job.

The Commando Tropas especiales (CTE) was formed in the mid-1980, at the training center for Cuban special units in Los Palacios. The training center located in Los Palacios is commonly known as Baragua school and is situated in a large valley in the mountains near Pinar del Rio. The Cuban special forces training center is known for its large space, within which there are several artificial lakes with very modern training equipment suitable for various training topics. Training Center was established by de la Guardia brothers. The school is able to host up to 2500 soldiers for a single training. The Cuban advisers are backed up by instructors and specialistis from China and Vietnam, who are assigned to the Cuba to help and assist Cuban personell during the training courses.


At the training center, future members of Cuban special forces are training for direct action, special reconnaissance, psychological operations. They also receive training in parachuting, underwater operations, target interceptions, strategic reconnaissance and intelligence operations.

The money may buy everything, so the Cubans have managed to create a good arsenal of various modern weapons. The members of Cuban special forces, Commando Tropas Especiales were seen brandishing Stechkin pistols, Colt M1911 pistols, Springfield and Garand rifles, FN-FAL, newer FN CAL, assault rifles M-16 (some with M-203 grenade launchers and sniper sights), Spain’s Z-84 machine guns or Barnett Commando bows.

They are also equipped with various Soviet (Russian) made weapons, including PM-63 RAK machine gun as their main weapon along with the old Soviet 5.45mm AKSU-74 (AKR) assault rifle. They also have in possesion Polish WHO-84.

Project Delta
GIJOE The Early Years

Throughout the seventies, the threat of terrorism began to grow at an alarming rate. Citizens the world over were shocked to see Israeli athletes killed at the Olympics. All over Europe and the Middle East, innocent people were kidnapped and held for ransom. Crowded buses and public places soon became targets of suicide bombers. Nations all around the world began to recognize this growing threat and took steps to deal with it, forming specialized teams dedicated to deterring the terrorist threat.

In response Great Britain created the SAS, France created the GIGN, Germany created the GSG-9, Israel created the Sayeret Mat’Kal and had other teams, and the United States created Delta Force. Made up of members of the US Army, this highly secretive team experienced a humbling setback at the disastrous Desert One crash site. The mission, to rescue US Embassy personnel held captive in Iran, failed due to logistical breakdowns due to the various services involved. Forced to re-evaluate their role, Delta Force became a more efficient unit.

As effective as Delta force became, it was not prepared to deal with the most recent terrorist group to make its presence felt-the dreaded Cobra Command. Cobra was a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. Backed by the diabolical Cobra Commander, this private army kidnapped scientists and forced them to create new weapons, overran small countries and installed new leadership, and sold weapons to opposing sides during conflicts. Unable to fight this army face to face, senior military officers at the Pentagon decided to form a dedicated special missions force to fight the Cobra threat.

Special Counter-Terrorist Group: Delta, codenamed GIJOE, was made up of the best candidates from the United States Armed Forces and Law Enforcement agencies, and was designed to be an effective quick strike mobile military unit.

During the eighties the small team fought against Cobra, winning key battles and effectively deterring the advance. New recruits were brought onboard as needed to fill essential roles (Ace, Tripwire, Cover Girl, Torpedo, etc.)

In what would become their first ‘official’ field mission, code-named ‘Lady Doomsday’, thirteen of twenty-eight GIJOE operatives were assigned the initial task of rescuing a high ranking hostage from Cobra.



The other fourteen operatives (two other had secondary missions unknown to the other team members) supported the strike team as a reserve force, providing transportation, security, and back-up.

While some outsiders believe the last fourteen operatives were part of the second wave of new GIJOE recruits (Gung-Ho, Doc, Wild Bill, Snow Job, and Airborne), it is also believed that they were other additions to the team that hadn’t completed the induction and training process. Some speculate that the fourteen were never intended to become active GIJOEs, but were used on a as-mission basis, as some data indicates. These theories are merely that-theories. The only person privy to the information, General Flagg, was killed during the Cobra attack on Ft. Wadsworth. His successor, Lt Colonel Langdon (codename: Little Joe), took over as the Recruiter of new JOEs.

Grade: Spec 6 (US Army)

Born into a well-off family with international business interests, Burdell travelled the world with his parents, experiencing foreign cultures and languages prior to entering higher learning. An avid student of language, art, literature, and sports, he could hold his own at formal dinners and affairs with those thrice his age. While attending Georgia Tech on a full academic scholarship, his family pressured him to join the Foreign Service and become a Diplomat with the State Department, but a winter time visit to Italy's Gran Sasso introduced him to the use of hang gliders and a fascination for airborne military operations.

He joined the Army and after basic he graduated Airborne School, Pathfinder School, Ranger School, and Intelligence School. Qualified Expert: M-1911A1, M-3A1, M-14, M-16, M-60, M-72. Is familiar with all civilian and military gliders.

Peer Profile: "He is a out-going, confident, endearing, charming, extroverted kinda guy who's over-achieving nature makes him a popular teammate. The Man was practically a campus legend at Georgia Tech..."

(Note: After retiring from the Army, Chalk traveled the world looking for further adventures he could experience and take photographs of the things that interested him. After many journeys and hundreds of new friendships later, he later became the pitchman for a line of adult beverages.)

SN: RA Classified

POB: Ft. Worth, Texas
Grade: E4 Corporal (US Army)

Cowboy knew how to operate heavy equipment at an early age, having grown up around complicated farm machinery on a small (by Texas standards anyway) ranch outside of Ft. Worth. His parents were hard workers and believed in doing the job right the first time. They instilled in him a sense of pride that he used academically in school (honors student), and physically-playing third base (all state, twice), starting right linebacker (JV), and backup QB on the varsity football team. Cowboy worked evenings at the local grocery store to help his family and took his sweetheart to the drive-in every Saturday night during the summer.

While many of his friends expected to stay around home and continue working on the farm, Cowboy knew he wanted more out of life. With his parents permission he joined the Army. At the bus stop his family came with him to see him off. Cowboy shook his father’s hand, hugged his mom, rubbed his siblings heads, and kissed his girlfriend, promising to return to her. After Basic, he graduated near the top of every Tech School he attended. When General Flagg was organizing the GIJOE Team, Lester ‘Cowboy’ Parker came highly recommended.

Hawk says: “With a name like 'Cowboy', I felt we were getting a wild maverick. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this young soldier was a highly motivated, hard working, and disciplined individual. Parker is well balanced and genuinely takes pride in his work. He’s dependable, intelligent, professional, dedicated, and respected around the PIT. Of all the Reserve JOEs, Cowboy diligently writes his family and girlfriend back home every week.”

(Cowboy completed two tours with the GIJOE Reserves, and left the Team in the spring of 1984 to return home. With the money he earned while serving in the Army, Lester Parker married his longtime girlfriend and started a family. After the birth of his first son, Parker opened a small electronics business outside Ft. Worth.)

Completed Army Logistics school, Airborne Jump School, Master Parachutist Qualification and the Officers Qualification exam with a 91% average score, she is also qualified in the use and servicing of squad automatic weapons.

From the Files of General Hawk: "She's the one that reminds you to pack cold weather gear when you head to Afghanistan, or lots of socks when you're running through the swamps. She actually cares, and handles the little details. It may not sound like much, but it's the little things that make all the difference for troop morale."*

But when the bullets start flying, you need someone who can keep their head on straight in the middle of it. After the dust settles, he will be the first one to stick his head out and crack that trademark half-smile.

INTELLIGENCE OFFICER
Codename: Makai
Filename: Nahaku, Kellye
SN: USN Classified
PMS: Information Analyst
SMS: Investigation
POB: Pearl City, Hawaii
Grade: Special Agent (USN)

Born into a multi-generational military family (WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam), Makai grew up within spitting distance of Pearl Harbor. A straight A student and athlete (Track & Field, Tennis, and Lacrosse), in her spare time she was a reporter for the school newspaper and a Yearbook Editor. Joined the US Navy and completed Basic, A School Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center in Virginia, along with several other related training programs. Qualified Expert: M-1911A1, Beretta M9, M-16A2, H&K MP-5 variants, and the JOE XMLR-3A.

From Chuckles: "Agent Makai is a highly trained and motivated individual. She has an incredible eye for detail, finding clues to cases in the most obscure places. Given her athletic background, she can hold her own when chasing down a suspect and she keeps a level-head during a firefight. The JOEs need a variety of assets to fight Cobra, and Makai is an incredible asset."

SMS: Data Analysis
POB: Merriam, Kansas
Grade: E6 Technical Sgt (USAF)

The JOEs are a rapid deployment task force that needs to respond to the threats of Cobra, whatever clime the fight takes them. As such, they need to have consistent, up-to-date weather data to plan their missions. The SOWTs are fully trained combat meteorologists capable of deploying alongside other SF operators and providing weather intell in support of all types of action. Rain Check is one of the best SOWTs in the Air Force and came highly recommended from Hurlburt Field. When he is not actively engaged in the field on a mission, Rain Check hangs out in the PIT Meteorological Center he affectionately calls, 'Trade Winds'.

From Duke: "Hard to believe we ever really needed a combat weatherman on the team, since most of our missions are spur-of-the-moment responses to Cobra's threat. In the old days someone would get the weather report for the target area or click on the Weather Channel. Our pilots do the weather check before they fly, so we can concentrate on the object at hand. Anybody can stick their head outs and see if it is raining or snowing, but with Rain Check on the team, and in the field, we can stay on top of the weather issues and use it to our advantage. Oh, why do we call him 'Rain Check'? The guy has the worst luck with stores..."

_________________

And now, Tiger Force.

For me, Tiger Force is not just taking established characters, giving them a new paint job, and using them on a new team. I'm not a fan of that. I use Tiger Force as a Central/South American response team specializing in Jungle Ops and guerrilla warfare.

In trying to come up with a theme or some basis, I looked at other sources for inspiration. I settled on Robin Hood and the Merry Men.

I tapped Claymore to be the team leader. All established characters get renamed and parts/colors moved around. These are the figures I have allocated for the team, not going to use all of them, but mix and match designs. Basically any Tiger Force looking camo apps. Not planning of 40+ new characters.

GIJOE Air Corps

Any Codename with a * after I am looking for a new name. I am looking to use all versions of Dragonflys and Tomahawks and different airframes for different uses. Many of these have not been altered for decades.

Filename: Ross, Jason P.
SN: Classified

SMS: Private Jet Pilot
POB: Providence, Rhode Island
Grade: None (Civilian Contractor, US Navy-Retired)

There are times when the GIJOE Team has to travel by air and access to military aircraft isn’t readily available. Sometimes, depending on the mission profile, civilian transport is the best option. That’s where Hoss comes in. General Hawk and the Recruiter organized a network of stand-by planes and pilots, fully prepared to jump in with only a few hours notice. This plan works three-fold: it provides the means to shuttle GIJOEs to and from assignments safely and securely; Cobra would be hard pressed to isolate any one specific plane from the thousands in the air on a daily basis to launch an attack; and it would offer small charter services the needed revenue to remain in operation.

One of the pilots, a retired US Navy veteran, had flown F-4 Phantoms in VietNam before starting a charter service in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in the mid seventies. He'd hire out to rich business executives and oil companies, ferrying them around the country. Business slowly grew by word of mouth over the next decade. Finally during the nineties Hoss was able to hire additional pilots to take over the daily flights for his customers. At first he enjoyed the down time, but found he was flying less and less and dealing more and more with the endless paperwork. He was looking for a change of pace and flying free-lance for the GIJOE Team was just what he needed to get back in the skies again. After the prerequisite security background checks, Hoss was asked to join the GIJOE Reserves. Alpine occasionally flies in to help him keep the books in order. Hoss is familiar with F-4 Phantoms, C-2 Greyhounds, C-130 Hercules, VC-20 Gulfstreams, and Longhorn LearJets.

Wild Bill says: “Hoss is my kind of guy. He’s flown everything from single engine Cessnas to multi-engine transports, and is current on the latest civilian jet passenger aircrafts. With him around, maybe I can get outta flyin’ the Herkie-birds and get back into my Dragonfly!”

Hot Rod was always either working on cars or racing them as a teenager. He worked part time after school and on weekends at a local repair shop, changing tires, doing tune-ups, and other odd-jobs for the owner in exchange for learning how to work on cars. He restored several vehicles and raced them on the salt flats out in the desert.

After walking away from one fiery crash, he decided he needed something else in his life. He joined the Army and was soon working in the Motor Pool at Fort Belvoir. Hot Rod volunteered for Armor and Diesel Mechanics, completing both schools before being assigned to a mechanized battalion. Two tours later he was at the Pentagon driving various Officers around DC to their appointments. It was in this capacity he happened to meet General Abernathy. Hawk's flight had been delayed and he was running behind for his meeting with the Jugglers. Hot Rod made up the time, taking shortcuts, swerving through rush hour traffic, and cutting through public areas. When the JOEs were looking for a driver for the new assault vehicle-the Roughneck, Hawk remembered the brash young driver from the Pentagon Motor Pool. He was quickly reassigned, and broke in the Rougneck at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds before joining the Team.

Taking inspiration from the famous Commander Cody song and Lincoln's passion for muscle cars, the Recruiter gave him the codename, "Hot Rod". He has familiarized himself with the other vehicles in the JOE motor pool and has a friendly racing rivalry with Clutch and the other drivers.

I picked up a brochure from the office at my high school back in the late 80s/early 90s. I thoroughly scoured through the booklet, studying the contents over and over. I watched and rewatched the John Wayne 'Green Berets' movie for inspiration. I am satisfied with all of the characters other than the codenames. Each has the correct job title, rank, and position with the 12 man squad.

After the death of Doc alongside the other JOEs during the mission to Trucial Abysmia, there was a coid on the Team that needed filled. The only dedicated medical personnel left were, Lifeline, Stretcher, and Sideswipe-all field-rated medical corpsmen. The Recruiter contacted several medical personnel and interviewed them, settling on a Doctor working at Walter Reed that came highly recommended.

She had worked the Trauma Unit there for four years following two tours in Germany, specializing in emergency medicine. In addition to being a qualified surgeon, she was licensed as a Physical Therapist and had previously assisted several wounded JOEs. After both Hawk and Duke met her, the Recruiter offered her a position with GIJOE. She accepted and quickly set up a fully equipped medical facility and worked with the other new medical recruits to provide the best medicval care for the Team.

Bandaid says: "I know that Doc meant a lot to the JOEs. His loss, and even the way he died, was just a terrible blow. He had been with them from almost the beginning and was largely responsible for keeping the, in fighting shape during those early years. I realize I can never replace him and only hope my training and skills can be of use to the Team now. I am honored to have been asked to be a part of GIJOE."

Every organization needs clerks to process paperwork and maintain the efficient and productive running of everyday operations. Without highly qualified people in place to deal with it, any backlog could effectively cripple the abilities of a quick-response tactical unit like the GIJOE Team. While setting up the temporary staff to begin the process of finding new recruits, the Recruiter was referred to Staff Sergeant Mackay at the Pentagon. Realizing her skills and abilities would be an asset, Lt. Colonel Langdon requested a security background check on her. He was surprised to learn she had top-level security clearance, several glowing reviews for her organizational skills, and was finishing up her current tout of the Puzzle Palace. After her interview, she was transferred to the GIJOE Recruitment Reserves Staff. Taking the name, Bell Hop, from her after-school job, she immediately set to work setting up the GRR office.

From the Recruiter's personal notes: "Bell Hop has been the glue that has kept the whole Reserves Staff together. She set up my whole office and staff, organzied the data systems and filing cabinets, filed TDY requests faster than anyone else I've ever seen, and makes the best cup of coffee I've ever had. Of course, you don't want to get on her bad side thought. When one of the Jugglers asmitted he didn't like her coffee, she kept him out of the loop for over three months and had him signing everything in double triple-triplicate. I finally gave her a mock unit crest that reads, 'Death by Papercut'."

Chopsticks’ father, a sensei in Japan, brought his family to America to start a new life in the mid-sixties. He opened a traditional martial arts dojo in San Francisco above a Chinese take-out restaurant and began to teach again. Competition was tough as there were several other martial arts academies in the Bay Area already, and during the seventies with the rising popularity of Bruce Lee, many dojos saw an increase in the number of students wanting to learn the fighting arts.

Where the other American dojos failed, the sensei believed, was they focused too heavily on the more aggressive side rather than the passive side of the philosophy. He interviewed each potential candidate to learn why they wanted to learn martial arts and many were refused admittance to the dojo. He spent his life living the concept that the knowledge of the arts was a two-edged sword. The students were taught a wide range of styles, to better prepare them for what they might possibly encounter in their lives. Patience and the ability to know when and when not to fight were the keys to making the warrior complete. Chopsticks began studying Karate, Kendo, Savate, Aikado, Taekwondo, and Jujitsu, along with a smatering of other as soon as he could walk . By his early twenties he was proficient in seven different fighting styles and had worked alongside his mother and siblings downstairs in the restaurant for years.

He enlisted in the Army to take advantage of the Montgomery GI Bill and after his stint he enrolled at San Jose State to complete his Masters in Eastern Philosophy. He movied back home upon graduation he took over the family business and soon developed a reputation for being one of the best Senseis. The Recruiter contacted Chopsticks and asked him if he would consider teaching a hand-to-hand unarmed combat refresher course at the Presidio. Chopsticks agreed and joined the GIJOE Reserves.

When General Clayton 'Hawk' Abernathy joined the Jugglers, a top secret committee of high ranking military brass, he was assigned an Adjutant to assist him with his new Administrative needs. Hawk balked at the idea, believing this was only done to get a toady that would spy on him and report his every action back to the Jugglers. He didn't like the idea, but it was conditional to him having a seat with the cabal.

After reading her MPR (Military Personnel Records) and meeting with her, he was pleased to discover she had asked for the position rather than being assigned. When questioned on this, she revealed she desired to serve with those looking to bring peace to the world. With the ever present machinations of Cobra, she wanted to be working alongside those dedicated to ending the threat of the Terrorist organization.

From Hawk: "At first I was not happy being assigned someone personally hand-picked by the Jugglers to 'assist' me. I was sure that her involvement would jeopardize everything I was attempting to do by joining the Jugglers in the first place. The more I read her file, the more I was impressed by what she had accomplished. A naturally above average athlete, her intelligence, coupled with an analytical mind, vast knowledge of the inner workings of current geo-political events, her grace and poise, along with all the training she had received as an Officer of the United States Navy made for an impressive read. I was astounded to hear of her interests in Hellenic Studies, which she claimed from was due to her ancestry on her Mother's side of the family. She was an Expert in both Pistol and Rifle, and had undertaken numerous Language, Anti-Terrorism, Combat, Political, and Administrative courses, in addition to several tours at sea and at the Pentagon. She even studied sword fighting and self-defense. I wonder where she found the time to accomplish even half the stuff she's done. I now believe she will be an incredible asset to the JOEs!"

From Topside: "Cutter was bringing us back from a mission and when we finally got aboard, we were walking across the flight deck to debriefing. Shipwreck sees this absolutely drop-dead gorgeous dark haired vision in a Dress uniform waiting for us across the deck near the island door. He goes, 'Who's the Goddess? I'm in love!' She smiled at him and was like, 'That's Commander Goddess to you, bilge rat! You must be Shipwreck. I'm not gonna have problems with you, right?' Shipwreck gulps and stammers out, 'Yes, Ma'am, I mean, no, Ma'am!' He turns this lovely shade of red, which we all thought was a great color for him. She ducks through the door and we all look at Shipwreck. I punched him on the shoulder and told him he really did it this time. All he could say was, 'Cover Girl is gonna kill me!'"

Many of the support network personnel of the GIJOE Reserves are civilians, and feel privileged to be part of the unit in any capacity. Many have previously worn a unifomr in one of the military branches, while others have served their country in other ways. Knockout is one of the latter. Whenever a JOE has been injured in the line of duty and is undergoing physical therapy, she is brought in to help motivate and get them back into shape. Her positiveness and enthusiasm are assets to the Team.

Knockout has always been interested in medicine. Her Mother was a RN and her Father is a retired professional boxer who wisely got out tof the ring before he took one too many blows to the head. In the interest in helping his daughter protect herself, he took her aside and showed her the sweet science of pugilism. She graduated from Boston College with a degree in sports medicine, wantng to specialize in rehabilitation. Her goals changed after seeing a report on the VA hospital budget cuts on a weekly news program. Some hospitals were losing funding while others would be closed in a cost cutting measure. She volunteered to help Veterans overcome their injuries and become active members of society again. Knockout also taught classes in the gym and helped soldiers' wives lose stress through aerobics. The Recruiter discovered her when Stalker returned form therapy after spending months in a prison camp behind enemy lines. He offered her a place with the new Medical Department of the GIJOE Team in their base near DC.

From Clutch: "With a name like 'Knockout', ya know, I'm thinkin, Major Babe! I made the mistake of trying to get her number after faking an injury and the next thing I know I'm facin' off with her in the ring. I never saw the left hook that followed the right cross.

Lt. Colonel Langdon's family has a long tradition of military service. For two hundered years there has been at least one member of the family serving his or her Country, seeing action in every major conflict since the Battle of Lexington. He continued the tradition by securing an appointment to West Point, excelling in both academics and athletics. Like his Father, he attended IBOLC (Fort Moore), Airborne, Air Assault, and Ranger School, and volunteered for Sapper and Pathfinder Schools.

Subject led several ops during Desert Storm behind enemy lines, preparing the way for further missions, securing enemy positions, eliminating enemy fortifications, and extracting downed allied pilots. A leg injury sustained during a jump sidelined him to several tours at the Pentagon, where he was assigned to both Military Readiness and working with the Government Accountability Office, preparing the US Military for the future.

Lt. Colonel Langdon was approached by a secret cabal of Senior Pentagon Staff to be the head of the GIJOE Reserves, a small department who's sole purpose was to find potential new personnel and weapons systems for the Team and anticipate the needs of the growing unit. As far as most Pentagon officials are aware, they believe Langdon's appointment was an attempt to appease members of several Senate Subcommittees, including Senator John M. Langdon, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services and Lt. Colonel Langdon's Father.

From Hawk: "Ask any of the original JOEs what General Flagg meant to the Team and they will all tell you he was a real stand-up kinda guy, for a General. He always had our back and was both our greatest fan and our harshest critique. His loss had a profound affect on us. His leadership had sustained us in those early years. As for Lt. Colonel Langdon, I wasn't sure what kind of Officer we were getting. A lot of West Point guys, myself included, have a bad rap for being 'ring-knockers' and I had concerns about an outsider coming in to help us. He came in, sat down with every JOE, and asked them what they thought the Team needed and if they knew of any personnel they thought would make suitable JOEs. I feel they appreciated that and it went a long way. The Jugglers are starting to realize their appointee isn't just gonna be their yes man, but an actual soldier's soldier. That says a lot of his character and that's what separates the Officers from the Leaders. I have absolute faith in our Recruiter to get us the best of the best."

The JOEs are a rapid deployment task force that needs to respond to the constant threats of Cobra, whatever the clime the fight takes them. As such, they need to have consistent, up-to-date weather data to plan their missions. The SOWTs are fully trained combat meteorologists capable of deploying alongside other Special Forces operators and providing weatherll intelligence in support of all types of missions. Rain Check is one of the best SOWTs in the Air Force and came highly recommended from Hulburt Field. When he is not actively engaged in the field, he hangs out in the PIT Meteorological Center he affectionately calls, 'Trade Winds'.

From Duke: "Hard to believe we ever really needed a combat weatherman on the team, since most of our missions are spur-of-the-monent reponses to Cobra's threat. In the old days someone would get the weather report for the target area or click on the Weather Channel. Our pilots do the weather checks before they fly, so we can concentrate on the objective at hand. Anybody can stick their head out and see if it is raining or snowing, but with Rain Check on the Team, and in the field, we can stay on top of the weather issues and use it to out advantage. Oh, why do we call him 'Rain Check'? The guy has the worst luck with stores..."

There is a rumor that every Canadian Military Officer assigned to an American Army unit since WWII happens to be named Major Frost. No one knows why or how this rumor got started, but the personnel officers are always researching to find out. Some generals would start ticking off on their fingers all the old war movies that had a Canadian Major, while other officers swore they knew someone who actually served with a Major Frost.

After a mission to Canada that involved the RCMP, Clutch and Rock ‘n Roll, the Recruiter contacted the Canadian Government about the possability of having a dedicated military liaison for any missions involving US and Canadian interests. After the red tape had been dealt with, an exceptional officer from the Joint Task Force II was assigned to the Team. Major Fitz-Hume, a highly decorated veteran with several tours with the UN, had a long and distinguished military career with the Canadian Army prior to serving with the JTF2.

The good Major was honored to work with the GIJOE Team and naturally was given his unique codename. “I’ve always been a big fan of actor Cliff Robertson and I’ve seen ‘The Devil’s Brigade’ about a hundred times.

She knew at a young age of the troubles that came with being of mixed blood. She deeply resented the taunting from the other children in the village ans secretly plotted revenge against the man responsible for the "LASER BLAST" of her Mother. When she was old enough she joined the Israeli military (like so many of her people) and developed the skills needed for making war. After her mandatory service ended, she was approached by a senior Mossad official to become a specialis agent. Having been bilingual since she could talk, she was taught espionage, Mid-East culture, diplomacy, counter-intelligence, and 'wet-work'. Sabrina went undercover in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq and completed several 'hands-on' assignments. With her unique looks, she can easily pass as anative anywhere in the Mid East.

POB: Evansville, Indiana
Grade: US Government Agent (Secret Service)

As far back as he could remember, Boardwalk was always fascinated by early American history. He spent his spare time reading the biographies and stories of the people that helped form the United States. While his peers traded baseball cards and admired the great home run hitters of the day, his heroes were those that fought in the Revolutionary War. He admired their dedication and commitment. From Patrick Henry to Paul Revere and George Washington to Betsy Ross, these people willingly supported a cause they whole-heartedly believed in and supported during the early years that formed our country. Of a;; those heroes, it was Nathan Hale that Boardwalk respected the most. When Hale was about to be executed as a spy, he said, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."

Those simple words and sacrifice had a profound affect on him. Boardwalk knew that somehow he had to serve his country too, but didn't know exactly how to. He thought about becoming a history teacher, but decided against it because he would rather learn more about history himself than waste time attempting to teach students that didn't care to be in the class to begin with. He turned to history again, noting that most of those heroes came from simple backgrounds before becoming involved in politics-Jefferson was a landowner, Washington a scout and surveyor, and Lincoln a lawyer. Boardwalk was accepted to Princeton University, earning his Masters Degree in American History and Criminal Law. His senior thesis, titled 'Man's Contributions and Sacrifices for their Beliefs', got him noticed by the Justice Department. After many years if dedicated investigative work, he was given the opportunity to transfer over to the Secret Service. In addition to protecting the country's monetary system from counterfeits, he had the great responsibility of protecting the Leader of the free world-the President of the United States. When the JOEs needed a liaison with the Secret Service, Boardwalk's name was at the top of the list.

From Psyche-Out: "It takes someone with strong mental discipline to willingly put themselves in the line of fire to protect POTUS. When every cell in their body is screaming to get out of harm's way, they must keep a level head and put themselves at risk as a human shield. This small elite group of highly trained agents must complete extensive and rigorous psychological examinations prior to selection to ensure specific criteria are met. There are no pretenders with death wishes or wannabe heroes in the Secret Service, only those who are professionals are accepted."

It was decided that when the GIJOE missions come in contact with the other various alphabet agencies, having a dedicated liaison who could run interference would be an asset and increase the chances of completeing the missions successfully. Given that the Cobra agent, Headman, was a major player in the illegal drug world, it was decided the JOEs needed a friend in the DEA. A meeting with the head of the Agency soon brought one suitable and highly-recommended agent to the Team.

She had made a name for herself in the halls of the DEA for her aggressiveness and eye for investigative work. Her callsign during drug raids was 'Canine', because once she had sunk her teeth into a mission, she refused to let go until the perps were behind bars. Canine wasn't afraid to jump into the fray against dealers, pushers, and enforcers that were better armed than her. She was always right behind the 'doorman' and was more capable of taking down a suspect on her own. Even if she got into trouble, her loyal companion, 'Aztec', a huge German Shepherd, would be right there beside her. Aztec is a fully trained drug sniffer that is also familiar with bomb detection and rescue work.

Shockwave says: "There's only a couple of JOEs on the team who have the legal right to make an arrest during a mission. We got Bulletproof, Law, Mutt, and Sure Fire...so I think having additional badges, not only for the legality, but for the power it yields-that helps out tremednously when it comes time to knock on the door. I've seen her in action and she can be on my door breaching team any day."

Following the death of her Mother when she was eight years old, Clear Shot and her Father realized they had to make some changes in their lives. Her Dad, a former professional big game hunting guide, had tried to spend more time with his young daughter to help her (and himself) deal with their loss. After several rather ackward and unsuccessful attempts to bond, he finally hit on an idea that worked. Taking a .22 rifle out behind the barn, he patiently explained the fundamentals of gun safety and target shooting. He felt repetition of drills would keep her mind occupied. The plan worked, for on her first shot she scored a bullseye and was hooked from there. Together they went on several hunting trips and expeditions, ans she learned to appreciate the great outdoors. IN addition to stationary targets, she also took up skeet shooting, and was all-state champion for three years running.

Clear Shot joined the shooting club at her high school before attending college in New York. During breaks from school, she trained for the biathalon, eventually making the Olympic Team. She went to Albertville, but ended up watching the games from her hotel room when she got food poisoning on the flight over to France. She moved to NYC and joined the NYPD, bringing her natural skills to the SWAT Team. After two years of outstandinf service, Clear Shot was approached by the Justice Department to join their HRT based in Virginia. A referral by Horrorscope brought her to the attention of the Recruiter and a posting to the JOE Team.

Horrorscope says: "The woman can shoot! She's cool, precise, and professional. Everything a counter-sniper should be."

For as long as Dancer can remember, she has always wanted to be an author of a series of spy stories. Her Dad, a famout author of the spy genre himself, was an avid fan of the great 50s, 60s, and 70s spy movies. Every weekend the two would stay up watching old black and white film noir and reading spy novels. Dancer even helped out with several story ideas, being a sounding board and critic. She figured she had to learn how to be a spy before she could write, so she set goals and did the research to prepare herself mentally and physically. She was a trained ballerina, having started when he was old enough to walk, so she was comfortbale with the physicality. While all the other little girls were playing with dolls and flirting with the boys, Dancer was in the library stydying the history of famous spies. She collected every book she could find about the tradecraft. Dancer signed up for Spanish, French, German, and Russian language courses in high school and college. She attended VIP driving courses and acting classes, worked with a personal trainer, studied firearms, and dived headlong into physcology so she could get inside the character' heads.

Along the way, she realized the time she had been preparing herself to become a writer of spies, that she might actually be able to BE a spy herself. The CIA recruited her during college break and took her to Langley for additional training. A fully capable, yet 'unoffical' field agent, Dancer travels around Europe picking up bits of Intell to pass to her handlers. Her favorite covers allow her to jeep under the radar while operating under the very noises of her targets. They think she is doing location research for one of her Father's upcoming novels or she is studying dance and fine art in Europe.

The Recruiter says: "After several scandals involving key personnel at top levels rocked the CIA, the new director ordered a massive housecleaning and reassigned many agents. Dancer stayed on, but soon realized she was getting fewer and fewer assignments and more and more desk work. She wanted to stay out in the field, but her new supervisor denied her. Dancer left the CIA on good terms and was working for her Father when I met her in Paris. As a soldier with plenty ofdown time between assignments, I had read many of his books over the years and had met both of them previously at an insider party in DC. I asked her if she was interested in working undercover for the JOE Team. She accepted and has beenhelping us with some of our Cobra projects."

Grade: E5 Sergeant (US Army)

The day Barry graduated from high school he went down to the local Army Recruiting Office with his mom and dad and signed up for a four-year stretch so that he could earn money for college. When the sergeant at the office asked him what he wanted to do, he replied, “INFANTRY, ALL THE WAY, SERGEANT!” Within two weeks he was off to basic training. Barry volunteered for Airborne and Advanced Infantry Training and soon discovered he liked being in the Army. He applied to several colleges before finding one that offered correspondence courses and actually understood the needs of the military student. He re-upped for another hitch and used the re-signing bonus to pay for his courses.

Barry was assigned to a Helicopter Assault Squadron that helped support operations in the Middle East. His bravery under fire and calm leadership got him noticed by the GIJOE Recruiter. He was transferred over to the GIJOE Team, where he used the extra down time to complete his studies. He is currently working on getting his Master’s Degree in Architechural Engineering and is often seen studying with the original GIJOE Infantry Specialist, Grunt, in the mess hall.

From Grunt: “Air Drop is just one of those guys you need on the team. He’s not a Snake-Eyes, a Lady Jaye, or even a Duke, but he’s a hard-working, dependable, calm under fire, intelligent, and quite resourceful. It’s because he does his job so well that sometimes he’s overlooked. The only real comparison I can think of is the utility player in baseball. He may ride the bench while the stars get the glory, but when he’s called to the plate, he always delivers that clutch hit. That’s why I’m glad he’s on the team.”

Grade: E6 Staff Sergeant (US Army)

As a child Backbreaker was a fan of professional wrestling and dreamed one day pf performing inside the squared circle. After several unsuccessful years in the amateur ranks he decided to move on, working odd-jobs before joining the Army for a burst of four. Because of his height and size, his recruiter suggested he go in for Infantry Heavy Weapons. After finishing basic, Backbreaker moved to Airborne and more specialized training and enjoyed every minute of it. He re-upped and served with honor during operations in Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, and Desert Storm. It was during an operation deep behind enemy lines near Bagdad that brought him the attention of the GIJOE Team Recruiter. Backbreaker’s squad had been discovered by Republican Guards and were retreating under fire back to the LZ. Wounded himself, he carried three of his buddies one at a time to the waiting choppers while returning fire with his SAW. Only after everybody was aboard and out of enemy territory did Backbreaker agree to medical care. For his actions he received a purple heart and the personal thanks of the unit commander.

From Roadblock: “Usually the powers that be pick some poor slob to be the designated Heavy Weapons Specialist who is too small for the job. They can’t perform their duties because they’re weighed down by their load and collapse from exhaustion. And the enemy always try to take out the machine gunner first in an ambush. Backbreaker is six and a half feet tall and weighs in at 280lbs. Carrying a twenty-five pound weapon, a forty pound ruck, twenty pounds plus lots of ammo, not to mention the normal load of equipment a soldier in the field uses during missions would be the death of any man. But not to Backbreaker! He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast, and he lives to hear that SAW open up in a firefight!"

During a family trip to California, Thomas Angletti’s father bought him a small metal detector and the two spent their days walking up and down the beach searching for lost items. By the end of the weekendthey had found five watches, three rings, and two canisters of medical waste. Intrigued by the possibilities of using his metal detector to find buried treasure, Angletti began to research shipwrecks and other lost treasure along the West Coast, and also studied electronics in hopes of building a more powerful metal detector unit. His dreams of discovering the biggest lost treasure seemed unimportant after he watched a documentary on the horrible ravages of war on civilians in government class. The program showed images of maimed children, the innocent victims of the millions upon millions of land mines left unaccountable for after the cessation of hostilities. When he saw that the Army EOD personnel used various methods, including the use of metal detectors, to search for mines, Angletti realized he had seen his future. He enlisted in teh Army after graduation and recieved top marks at every tech school he attended. He is familiar with all military and civilian explosives and firing mechanisms, and has worked alongside Combat Engineers and Army Rangers to eradicate the deadly mines. He was recommended to the GIJOE Reserves by Tripwire and Lightfoot, taking the name 'Beachcomber' in hinor of his childhood passion.

From Lightfoot: "Beachcomber is cool under fire. He doesn't get rattled easily and manages to have a calming effect on every member of his EOD team. Those are really great qualities for a guy to have when you're staring face-to-face with high-explosives and the timer is counting down. I've been known to be, well, a little anal when it comes to making sure an area is totally secure before I let anyone inside, but Beachcomber is way more serious than me. I guess he just figures that if the job is done right the first time...the quicker he can get back to looking for 'treasure'. The only time I've seen him get excited is when he found that vintage VW Beetle buried in the sand at the annual GIJOE clambake! SOmehow he's even convinced Tripwire to spend their off days searching for that elusive treasure hoard he says is out there, just waiting for him to find..."

The GIJOE Team has always been at the forefront when it comes to the latest technology. Whether it be computers, equipment, vehicles, aircraft, weapons, or personnel, it has always been available to the Team. When the Recruiter heard of a new weapons systems finishing testing trials at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, he knew the JOEs had to try it out. The head tester, an EOD/Artillery Specialistwho had formerly served as a sniper with a Marine Force Recon squad, had jumped at the chance to use his new toy in combat.

The weapons, a lightweight, man-portable, anti-armor sniping platform, uses a laser designator to paint the target, and fires a variety of sealed epleted Uranium anti-armor and sabot rounds capable of penetrating the armor of enemy tanks. AN onboard computer calculates the environmental conditions and adjusts the barrel fpor optimum launch. It uses a prototype magnetic rail propulsion system to fire at high velocity for greater impact, without betraying the firing position. The mission profiles were a wide range of targets, stationary or moving, and can also be used against low flying aircraft.

From Rampart: "I really love this weapon. There's no loud backblast or tell-tale signs of a missile launch, so Bullseye can sit in his blind all day taking out HISS tanks left and right to his heart's content. He says it'll even take out a jet in mid-air. I can't wait to see that. Cobra's really gonna be surprised!"

Grade: E7 Sergeant 1st Class (US Army)

The Special Operations Force known as 'Delta' is tasked to perform many covert missions, most notably counter-terrorism, counter insurgency, and US intervention operations. The operators, mostly compromised of US Special Forces personnel, conduct raids, rescur hostages, and eliminate enemy forces. Delta was organized along the lines of the British SAS and the selection process is based on the same model. Recruits are subjected to a grueling physical test, followed by a psychological/navigation skills test, and then they are interviewed by a board of Delta brass and experts.

Once accepted, a recruit is put through an intense half-year Operator Training Course to teach them the skills they need. Due to the need for covert readiness, the members are allowed concessions in regards to their uniforms and grooming so that they can perform their duties in the field without compromising their status as US military personnel.

Subject served five years in the Army Special Forces before joining Delta Force for three tours. He is a qualified expert with all NATO small arms, assault weapons, rifles, munitions, and explosive devices; and is thoroughly versed in the art of commando tactics. Crossbow may or may not have been deployed in Central and South America, the Mid-East, Africa, Russia, and Eastern Europe. A reliable team player with a calm, unflinching demeanor, he is a highly dedicated, professional counter terrorist agent. No one to rest on his laurels. He has made it a point of pride to seek out others with unique skills to learn from them. Need a sharp-shooter? Call him. Need a mission specialist? Call him. Need someone to sneak into a fortified castle to rescue a hostage or retrieve computer discs from a lock down area? Call him.

From Shockwave: "Every team should have someone like Crossbow. He is mission-adaptable, highly motivated, and extremely dangerous. I can only imagine what he did during his years with Delta. He is a jack-of-all-trades kinda guy-able to hot wire a car, go native in several countries, kill you in twenty different ways with his bare hands, and don't even get me started about that crossbow he carries in the field. His accuracy rivals Scarlett! His stealth abilities literally have to be seen to be believed, but that sorta gives away the whole thing, right?"

The early seventies were hard years for the Hogan family, Deacon's Dad ran a local insurance company during the day and prayed every night that the War in VietNam would come to an end before his sons became eligible for the draft. When it looked like the fighting would continue, Deacon enlisted in the 'Corps and serve two uneventful tours in Southeast Asia as a Marine Marksman. He returned home and became a partner in the family business, eventually buying out his Dad when he retired. Hogan married and had three kids, but lost his family in a tragic church bus accident. After years of despair, he finally returned to God and felt the call to become an ordained minister. With the groundswell of national pride that came from Desert Storm, Deacon felt the need to work with the military. He contacted the local recruiter to inquire about serving and met the requirements for the Army National Guard. He was sent to the Chaplain School and Officer School, before being assigned to Fort Wadsworth (home of the original GIJOE Headquarters, 'The PIT').

Since he had once been an enlisted man, Deacon had no problems relating to the young troops. When the GIJOE Team was looking for a Chaplain to help deal with the recent deaths of several team members, one of the Chaplain's Assistant back at Fort Wadsworth passed on Deacon's name.

From Flint: "After we lost Doc, Quick Kick, Thunder, Breaker, and the others, the whole team had felt really down and morale was sinking fast. We couldn't really talk to anyone about it...with the JOE Team being a top-secret project and all. Hawk and the Recruiter went out and brought in somebody who had been there and had gone through the pain of not only losing his buddies in war, but his family too! He inspired us and motivated us, making us all realize it was okay to feel saddened and angry, helping us through the tough times. He is definitely a blessing to the Team!"

A student on the verge of failing, Drop Out happened to attend an outdoor sporting event with a family friend and witnessed a demonstration by the US Army Golden Knights sky-diving team. Impressed at their ability to touch down on targets after falling from tremendous heights, the youngster left his seat to go down and meet the members of the team during a break. While talking with them, he repeatedly expressed a desire to join the Army to become a Golden Knight. They answered all of his questions and gave him several pamphlets about the unit. The CO gave him a unit patch and shook his hand. All the way home he thought about jumping out of planes above the crowds of people wearing the sharp, distinctive uniform.

Whe he reached home he told his parents about the show and his Dad took him aside, pointing out the difficulty of joining the Army without the benefit of a high school diploma. He sat down and thought deeply about his decisions, deciding to turn his grades around, and become a better student. After graduation, his Father drove him down to the local recruiting officer and he proudly showed the Sergeant his diploma. After Basic and AIT, he went on the Jump School and earned his wings and Ranger tabs, becoming a Forward Observe. Prior to recruitment to the GIJOE Team, he parachuted into the very same stadium as a Golden Knight, and signed autographs for the kids.

From Rip-Cord: "I like Drop Out. He set his mind on a specific goal and worked very hard to achieve it. Becoming a Golden Knight takes a lot of dedication and perseverance. He has proved that he has the ability to get the job done. I can't wait to do an early HALO drop with him some night over Cobra Island!"

While some new JOEs are recruited from the most unlikely of sources, a few are brought to the Recruiter's attention by the JOEs themselves. Low-Light, the Combat Marksman and Night Spotter, met with the Recruiter to discuss a possible new recruit that he had previously worked with before, and believed would make a valuable asset to the Team. The Recruiter and Psyche-Out reviewed the recruit's jacket and met with him to evaluate his potential. The man, a former Marine Force Recon Sniper with CIA contacts, was very intelligent, worked well under pressure, and was capable of operating independantly in the field-all the traits needed to be a successful sniper. His psyche revealed while he believed in the sanctity of life, he had no maral qualms about acquiring a target in his sights and ending that life. On the firing range he even edged out some of the best JOE shooters and in the field couldn't even be found by Spirit or Tracker once he was in his blind.

From Low-Light: "Not only can ALan shoot, he has the patience and mental discipline to wait for hours, if not days for his target to appear. I once saw a scorpion crawl across his face with nary a reaction on one op. He just stared through the scope as immovable as a rock, waiting to strike like the Hand of God. The target had sat down for breakfast and opened the Times when Alan pulled the trigger. After verifying the scene, he immediately policed his area and was exfilling, on the move and out of sight within ten seconds. That's why in the CIA he was known as 'Horrorscope'. 'Cause when the bad guys open up their papers in the morning, they know they're gonna have a bad day!"

I've seen him crawl through a minefield, dodge a deadly crossfire, and charge a squad of Cobras-all to rescue a downed teammate. I like the way he hustles, and the fire and determination he brings to the Team. Every JOE knows that if they're wounded in the field that once the covering fire starts, Lancer will be along shortly to pull them out of harm's way! The only thing I hope for is that his enthusiasm doesn't get him killed!"

The deadly ninja now known as Darkling was a founding member of the Night Creepers, an unique band of high-tech ninjas that only hire themselves out to those who can afford their deadly services. When Cobra Commander grew tired of his main arms supplier, he offered a reward for anyone who could eliminate Destro. The Night Creepers accepted the bounty and dispatched a team. Darkling was severely wounded during the fighting and left for dead. He managed to escape from authorities and sought refuge in a safehouse known only to the elite Night Creeper Leaders. He treated his wounds and then returned to the headquarters in Switzerland.

It was there he learned that the other Night Creeper Leaders suspected him of tipping off Destro and GIJOE, for he alone returned from the mission. Darkling was imprisoned inside the building and was facing execution despite assurances he was innocent, Only the intervention of the JOE's Ninja Force and other troops led by Destro allowed him the opportunity to escape. He went into hiding, using funds and identities stashed around the globe for emergencies, knowing full well the Night Creeper Leaders would again blame him and issue a ‘kill on sight’ order.

In the following years Darkling survived several assassination attempts by the Night Creepers. Like the ronin of old he served no master and constantly looked over his shoulder. A random encounter with Snake-Eyes brought him to the Recruiter. After agreeing to join the Team and getting a new identity, Darkling participated in an elaborate and very public ‘death’ which finally convinced the Night Creepers he was dead. He underwent plastic surgery to alter his looks and emerged a new man. Now, as Darkling, he trains the JOEs in self defense and uses his business knowledge against Cobra and the Night Creepers.

SMS: Third World Covert Ops
POB: Rhodesia
Grade: None (Ex-Mercenary)

After six years with the Rhodesian Army and another seven serving with the French Foreign Legion, Buster was sick of the low pay and long hours of a professional military soldier. He wanted to get a better return of his investment, so he resigned his commission and hired himself out to the private sector for demolition jobs and other mercenary work. Over the next ten years he fought in the world’s hot spots. He trained extremist freedom fighters in Yemen, Libya, and Syria; he worked for the Triads in the East; did odd-jobs for the drug cartels in Columbia before working for a former Serbian General as part of his private security force. After the Berlin Wall was torn down Buster began working for the Russian Mafiya in the Balkans.

In the early 90’s he was approached by a representative of Extensive Enterprises, the cover company of the international terror organization known as Cobra. He was offered a job as a freelance troubleshooter working directly under the control of the Crimson Guard Commanders, Tomax and Xamot. Buster conducted several operations for Cobra over the next few years, until he was captured along with Major Bludd and two other high-ranking Cobra agents.

While being transported to a Federal prison to begin serving their sentences, Bludd managed to gain control of the vehicle. As he tried to drive away the guards managed to fight back, forcing the vehicle out of control. It plunged over a hill, and when Buster came to after the crash, he discovered he was pinned under the burning wreckage. With blood pouring down his face he watched Bludd free himself and escape, never looking back at the other prisoners trapped inside. Buster suffered severe burns before firefighters could free him. In the hospital burn ward, he dreamed of confronting the Cobra Mercenary and getting his revenge.

One day as he lay there, he was approached by the GIJOE Brass. They offered him a choice: a lengthy prison term once he recovered from his injuries or fight alongside them against Cobra. He readily accepted their offer and worked religously each day to get his body back in shape. After being released he was taken to an undisclosed facility in the Southwest that was the home of Sgt. Slaughter and the Renegades. Mercer, Taurus, and Red Dog toughened him up, stretching his damaged skin and rebuilding his strength. As the sweat pours from his brow, Buster slowly imagines the day he finally gets the chance to wrap his hands around Major Bludd’s neck and squeeze the life out of him.

Scuttle was always a problem to his superiors. He got into more fistfights, bar-brawls, wrecked more jeeps, and was responsible for putting more SPs in the hospital than any other sailor in the US Navy. His brash, abrasive personality grated on his fellow sailors and officers alike. His base commanders didn’t know quite how to handle him, knowing his talent with explosives. At his last inquiry before being reduced in grade for the third time, he was told he was being given a final chance to redeem himself and pay back the investment Uncle Sam had made in him. Scuttle blew it, literally, blowing up the senior officer’s personal vehicle. As he was being taken away to the brig, he was told he was being discharged from the Navy for his actions. The GI JOE Recruiter, already on the base to meet with another sailor, asked about the prisoner. After getting Psyche-Out to evaluate him, the recruiter approached Sgt Slaughter with the new recruit. A month later Scuttle had fit into the Renegade life, alongside Mercer, Red Dog, and Taurus.

Sgt Slaughter’s Renegades are not your standard combat soldiers. They are the social misfits, the problem soldiers, the slackers. They are made up of the unmotivated misanthropes that couldn’t hack the soldier life in the barracks. Some have served time in a military stockade; others are being given another chance to prove themselves. They are ill mannered, ill tempered, feisty, undisciplined, unmotivated, and lazy. Any of the Renegades could be card-carrying members of the Dreadnoks if Sgt Slaughter hadn’t gotten his hands on them. Each maggot, as the ex-Drill Sergeant calls them, just needs the right amount of motivation to improve, and Sgt Slaughter believes he can provide the right motivation, starting with his size fourteen boot!

Chelsea comes from a small town in West Virginia where the majority of the population worked for the local mining company. The biggest event each week was the Friday night high school football game where the entire town came out to support the team. She worked part-time afternoons at the local beauty parlor after cheerleading practice. With such a small community dependant on the revenues generated by the mine to survive, it was only a matter of time before something bad happened to the local economy.

The output of coal being processed daily shrank and the mine owners became desperate to protect their investments. They took shortcuts, sinking new shafts and branching out different tunnels in attempt to find more coal. After several cave-ins took the lives of many experienced miners and newly hired graduates, the mining company pulled out, leaving the majority of the town unemployed. Unable to find work, entire families packed up and left, never to return. Knowing she couldn’t support herself by cheerleading at football games for the rest of her life, she knew she had to study hard and get an education. The day after she graduated high school she packed her bags and left town on the first bus heading out. She stopped at the first big town she got to and got a job in a beauty saloon.

She met the owner of a tattoo/piercing parlor next door, Spike, and began dating him. When the Dreadnoks recruited Spike to be their inker and piercing guy, Chelsea went with him, changing her name to Babydoll and embracing the biker lifestyle.

DREADNOK (Undercover Agent) wm
Codename: Deadbeat
Filename: Andrews, Terry
PMS: Motorcycle Mechanics (Undercover GIJOE Agent)
SMS: Ex-Convict (Covert Operations)
POB: Provo, South Dakota
Grade: None (US Government Agent-Justice Department)

By Dreadnok standards, Deadbeat is a stand-up, dependable guy. He doesn’t touch every donut in the box before picking one, and never takes the last grape soda from the fridge. Anytime the ‘Noks are hanging out at a safe house or at the Everglades compound, Deadbeat can either be found in the garage working on the motorcycles-doing routine maintenance the gang forgets, or keeping the plumbing operational. As a result, he’s become someone they can count on to do the things they don’t do.

Little do the Dreadnoks know that Deadbeat is actually an undercover agent with the Justice Department. It isn’t easy to infiltrate the biker gang and others before him had tried unsuccessfully to do so. The lucky ones managed to crawl through the swamp and reach safety, having suffered broken bones after being stomped on, smashed-in faces, or their skin flayed off after being dragged behind a motorcycle at high speeds on gravel roads. So far Deadbeat has lasted over ten months undercover.

Agent Andrews was a natural to join the gang, having a juvenile record for breaking store windows, smashing mail boxes, and stealing cars. He served time in prison and worked in a garage as part of a work release program. Andrews was approached by a senior Justice Department official and offered a deal: join the agency, take a few special assignments, and his criminal records would be sealed so he could start a new life with a clean slate. As Deadbeat, he accepted and went through all the required training. He was introduced to the Noks in KC after a carefully staged fight broke out in a roadhouse and he backed them up. When their undercover agent opponents were all in various heaps on the floor, the Dreadnoks and Deadbeat were the only ones left standing. Monkeywrench and Torch invited him to tag along with them and the first part of Deadbeat’s undercover mission was accomplished.

The following is an excerpt from a message drop to Deadbeat’s controller: “…I can’t handle this anymore. I want out! They’re starting to get on my nerves. They smell bad, they’re belligerent, they’re gross! God, help me, I’m actually starting to like the taste of grape soda. You gotta get me outta here quick!”

DREADNOK BAT
Codename: DingBAT (Dreadnok-Intergrated Nasty Grappling BAT)
Filename: None
PMS: Computer Technology
SMS: Weapons
POB: BAT Robotics Lab, Cobra Island
Grade: None (salvaged from Cobra Island)

During a visit to Cobra Island, Monkeywrench and Thrasher were dumpster diving outside of Dr. Mindbender’s robotics lab when they found a dismembered BAT prototype. They hooked a heavy chain to the hitch of the Thunder Machine and towed the bin back to the airfield. There the two miscreants loaded every piece they could salvage, along with other high-tech parts thrown out by careless lab drones, aboard the Dreadnok cargo plane headed back to the swamp.

Once home, the two secretly restored the BAT in a remote shop, safe from the prying eyes of the other ‘Noks. They added a few extra gadgets and gizmos, painted it in the gang’s colors, and welded a frame to its back so it can carry a variety of mission variable packs: pressurized grape soda dispenser, chilled chocolate-covered donut trays, and a media system (game system, satellite radio, CD player w/bass assist, etc). Bootleg downloaded software onto its OS, bypassing the Cobra protocols and setting up Dreadnok voice-recognition programs. The unveiling before Zartan and the other Dreadnoks was a rowdy success. While the android ‘Nok can operate any Cobra or Dreadnok vehicle, its AI has convinced itself it can survive the longest when it is hard-wired into the Air Assault VTOL Copter.

The following is a partial transcript of an intercepted phone call between Cobra Commander and Destro. No voice recorded for Destro: “It wasn’t amusing to discover those two…idiot nitwits…of Zartan’s actually managed to leave Cobra Island with several million dollars worth of sophisticated android technology! Or that those simpletons could somehow share enough brain cells between them to even conceive such a plan to make it operational in the first place. What was funny, was the sheer look of incredulous shock, stupor, and horror that came over Mindbender’s face when he saw his million dollar BAT prototype serving grape soda and chocolate-covered donuts like it was the finest caviar and champagne. Now, every time he comes to me, whining about how he’s having difficulty with a project and is behind schedule, I wave my hand and tell him, ‘And there’s never a Dreadnok around when you need one.’ [snort] Ha, ha, ha, ha, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HAH, HAH, HAH, HAH, HAH, HAH!”

POB: Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyoming
Grade: None

All the Dreadnoks display aggression and anti-social tendencies, but Exile is the worst. He is quiet to the point of scary, prone to fits of rage, despondent, and totally unpredictable, Exile is loner, having seen firsthand how his fellow Native Americans have debased themselves over the years while embracing the ‘white mans world’. He believes himself to be the last pure descendent in a long line of famous Indian warriors and he must fight to the death to return the land to its rightful owners. Exile tolerates his fellow Dreadnoks because they are the only ones that can actually stand to be around him without beating him up. He has several outstanding arrest warrants for destroying government property (Post Offices) and wrecking law enforcement vehicles.

From Spirit: “I have known a lot of young braves that feel the way that Exile does. They hear the stories of the famous battles and believe they were born a century too late. They despise their families for diluting their bloodlines by marrying outsiders, accepting handouts from the government, and for not fighting for what they believe is rightfully theirs. It is a shame. In the end they turn away from their heritage and traditions and that weakens the tribes even more.”

PMS: Cold Slither Band Manager
SMS: Logistics/Record Company Exec
POB: Springfield
Grade: Commander (Retired Crimson Guard-injury)

Not every member of the elite Crimson Guard has a degree in law or accounting. When Cobra Commander formed the Siegies, he expected them to integrate themselves into communities, becoming pillars of society and upstanding citizens, until called upon to serve Cobra. In small towns across the United States there are Siegies holding various levels of political office. Some are doctors, clergy, insurance agents, law enforcement officers, realtors, lodge members, government officals and inspectors, teachers, college professors, and university presidents. They are businessmen and land-owners, serve on school boards, coach little league teams, and even have connection with the local crime gangs. In short, the Siegies have penetrated the infrastructures of small town America.

Charles Norris was a lowly band manager working for a music label in LA in the early eighties prior to his joining Cobra. Disillusioned with his career, he happened to attend a career advanced ‘seminars’ and was impressed with the motivational speaker, a European gentleman named C. Ball. He soon was approached by the local Cobra cell and realized the organization was what he was looking for. Norris was selected to join the newly formed Crimson Guard and was quickly ‘initiated’, becoming ‘Fred’ Norris after undergoing plastic surgery. Realizing the prospect of having an agent at the highest levels of the music industry, Cobra ‘arranged’ for him to become an executive, and assigned him to Project “Head-Banger.’ He spent ten years promoting various new artists, all the while feeding Cobra insider information to allow the pirating of music and the imprinting of Cobra data for distribution. Norris may or may not have been involved with the elimination of ‘problem’ performers and the escalation of the East Coast vs West Coast battle.

After seeing the impact that the ‘boy bands’ had from a financial standpoint, Tomax and Xamot knew they could make a lot of money in the music industry if they could only exploit this untapped market. They brought their Siegie music expert to the Dreadnok Roadhouse to watch the house band, Cold Slither, perform. He liked what he saw and heard, and the Twins convinced Cobra Commander to fund a Media Division to promote the band. After six months of studio work and organization, Cold Slither went out on tour across America and released several songs. Their concerts soon sold out as they got popular and their top selling item at the concession stands and online website were the female bass player’s swimsuit calendar and poster.

Head-Banger now personally oversees the band on tour, booking concert venues and arranging interviews with the media. After many years of hard work, Head-Banger will do anything in his power to keep the success he’s found with Cold Slither.

POB: Unknown

A ruthless hired assassin, Lady Lead earned her bones contracting for mobsters worldwide. Incredibly athletic and possessing lethal fighting skills, it is wise not to underestimate her will and ability to destroy an opponent or target. In her relentless pursuit of power and domination, Lady Lead previously pledged her services to the paramilitary group SCUM* prior to being recruited as a freelance troubleshooter by Zarana for when the DEF** interferes with Dreadnok operations.

Lady Lead has a deep rooted hatred and disdain for all men, and fancies herself as an Amazon warrior. She has dedicated her life to becoming stronger and more macho than any man.

From Chuckles: "Right now our best guess is that 'Lady Lead' is actually a cover ID of Zarana's, allowing her to reach her targets through alternative methods. Our intell is limited to the point we don't even have any confirmation that they have ever been seen together. After speaking with Psyche-Out, I highly recommend that any future intelligence gathering mission involving her include female agents, as Lady Lead is prone to shoot men first and skip the questions."

Businesses that decline ‘protection insurance,’ gas stations that decline the Dreadnoks ARBCO credit cards, black market vendors that shortchange shipments of product, individuals that double cross the gang, organizers that fail ton pay for security at concerts and sporting events, people that stick their noses into the Dreadnoks’ business that shouldn’t-all of these situations require a special touch to deal with them properly, so the situations never happen again. If the Dreadnoks aren’t capable of putting matters straight, Zartan has one final option-call in the Dreadnoks’ trouble-shooter and problem-solver, the enigmatic Last Ride.

There are several rumors about Last Ride’s true identity: one is that he was a Mexican hitman working for the drug cartels during the nineties, another claims he is a former KGB wetworks assassin, a third is that he is a famous craggy-faced character actor in low-budget Hollywood movies that supplements his income by working for Zartan, while others believe him to be a CIA spook gone rogue. Since Last Ride never removes his leather Lucha hood or talks to anyone but Zartan, it is speculated he is horribly disfigured. Anyone who has attempted to discover his identity has never appeared in public again, and is probably buried somewhere out in the desert in an unmarked grave.

From Zartan: “I do not care what excuse someone may have for not paying the Dreadnoks for services rendered. I don’t want to hear why you felt you had to double-cross us, sell us out, or try to cheat us in business dealings. It’s too late for that now. It’s an issue of trust. If I can’t trust you anymore, I don’t need you. There will be no more warnings, extensions, or gentle reminders. There will only be one option. And that is your Last Ride!”

POB: Cowdenbeath, Scotland
Grade: None (former Iron Grenadiers Sergeant dismissed for fighting)

The MacDonnegals have loyally served the Destro clan for several centuries and were known for their fierceness in battle, always fighting by their Laird’s side. When the current Destro formed the Iron Grenadiers, Bryson was one of the first to join. He worked hard and moved up through the ranks. His efforts had not gone unnoticed, and he was set to become an officer. One ill-fated run in with the Dreadnok Thrasher in a pub outside Castle Destro changed that.

Nosher had dressed in the formal uniform of an IG Instructor and was waiting at the foot of the stairs for Destro and Zartan to finish their meeting. Thrasher had taken one look at the burly, barrel-chested Scotsman in his kilt and burst out laughing. Nosher naturally took offense and launched himself at him, breaking Thrasher’s nose and knocking him out in seconds flat. Bottles dropped onto tables and chairs scrapped against the stone floor as one by one the Dreadnoks got to their feet to defend their mate. Nosher smashed a bottle against the bar and turned on the rest of them. Bodies littered the floor as he eliminated each one from the fight. Torch was knocked down as a table flew into him, Ripper slid the entire length of the bar and then hit the wall, Gnawgahyde’s head connected with a beer mug while Monkeywrench was hit with a serving tray Frisbee style. Road Pig was the last to fall, having been kicked in the groin so hard Donald felt it. When Zartan and Destro came downstairs to investigate the ruckus they found Zanzibar wedged head first into the jukebox and Buzzer hiding under a table by the bar. Nosher stood amongst the bodies in the middle of the room, calmly pulling shards of glass from his bald head.

Although Destro knew any Iron Grenadier was a match for the Dreadnoks in a fight, he did not want them brawling in bars like common thugs. He stripped Nosher of his rank and kicked him out of the Grenadiers. Zartan, impressed with how Nosher had taken out the Dreadnoks, decided he was a useful man to have around and asked him to join the gang. With no future left in Scotland, Nosher accepted the offer. Once they regained conciousness, the Dreadnoks grudgingly accepted him as one of them.

From Destro: “For years I have tried to gain access to Zartan’s operations, knowing his contacts with criminal organizations in America were an untapped market for my weapons and services. One of my most loyal Iron Grenadiers, Sergeant MacDonnegal, whose family has been tied to the Destros for ages, and a man I’ve personally known since my youth, volunteered to join the Dreadnoks and get me the information I require. I regret I had to rebuke him for his actions in the pub, for it was necessary to gain the opportunity to place him within Zartan’s ranks. He imagines he is getting access to the Grenadiers, when it’s actually the reverse. I wait for the day of ‘Captain’ MacDonnegal’ return.”

Embarrassed and upset for failing to accomplish her mission, it was only through Zartan’s intervention that Reef Rat managed to escape her wrath. Recognizing the potential for mayhem inherent to his nature, Zartan sent him to the Everglades hideout to meet up with the other Dreadnoks. They took a liking to the unrepentant bloke and initiated him into the gang, spraying him with grape soda and filling his shorts with donut crumbs.

From Zanzibar: “I don’t like him, not one bit. He won’t clean up after himself and the other ‘Noks are always blaming me for eating the last of the chocolate-covered donuts. Well, it’s not me! It’s him, I tell you! He’s the one who’s doing it! Wait’ll I tell Zartan…!” (stomps off to search for Zartan)

Skull Hawk prides hmself at never missing an assignment and is determined to profit from his deadly mercenary skills, He teams up with others that share in his belief that the strong should always rule the weak and that might makes right. He worked for SCUM* for several years before following Lady Lead when she left the organization to work for Zarana and the Dreadnoks.

File Addendum: Subject has been previously been mistaken for the Dreadnok Road Pig, as they both have similar height and build.

From Scarlett: "Chuckles and I have a theory that Skull Hawk and Lady Lead are nothing but alternative IDs for Road Pig and Zarana. A mask can hide a lot of facial real estate and since we already know about his 'Donald' persona, it doesn't take much to surmise there might be a correlation. I plan to find out more about these two, if only to prove one way or the other."

Once one of the popular stars of a syndicated athletic competition TV show, Cobbs quickly went into a downward spiral of depression when the show was cancelled after the third season. For someone used to performing on the national stage for millions of viewers, the abrupt end and being out of the spotlight was too much. Combined with an old injury, he slowly turned to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. From there, he acquired a record as he commited several robberies to support his addiction to pain-killers.

Cobbs worked various jobs as a roadie for a heavy metal band, a bouncer for an underground fight club, and did repo work. He ran across the Dreadnoks and joined up with them, earning the nickname, 'Squeaky', after they discovered his prediliction for wearing black leather PVC as a nod to happier times of his tv show character.

DREADNOK ROAD PIRATE wf

SMS: Hunting Guide
POB: Windorah, Queensland, Australia
Grade: None

Before the Dreadnoks became the international biker gang and the pains in the butt they are today, Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer roamed the vastness of Australia on their custom motorcycles, starting fistfights and bar brawls everywhere they stopped. Whenever the ‘Noks needed a place to crash or hide out from the law, they stayed at the Boles Car Park in Queensland.

Young Annie Boles, the daughter of the owner, followed them around as they rebuilt engines and worked on their Hogs. They tolerated her at first, partially because she had a speech impediment and a learning disability, but mostly out of respect for their buddy for letting them stay. Her Dad had ridden with the ‘Noks before opening the Park. All three grew protective of her when she threw the police off their trail after a robbery. From then on, whenever the local boys picked on her, one of the trio was always there to ‘persuade’ them not to, usually by pounding a meaty fist to the jaw, or dragging the miscreant behind a bike at 80mph.

The speech impediment, caused by TMJ, along with her difficulty in learning new things in school, gave Annie terrible headaches. Her parents tried to curb her anger by consoling her and working with the people from social services, but after several years of the screaming and her temper tantrums, they were ready to give up. After the Dreadnoks left for America, Annie ran away from home and met up with other runaways, forming a traveling band of thieves.

By the time she was twenty, ‘Tantrum’ had formed her own Dreadnok motorcycle club and was reeking havoc from Perth to Brisbane, running cars of the road, stealing transport trucks, hijacking fuel shipments, and generally making a nuisance of herself. When the Dreadnoks returned to the Outback for a job, they met up with her and invited her along when they returned to the Everglades. She quickly accepted and eventually was introduced to Dr. Mindbender. He fixed her jaw, but it didn’t change her personality-she’s still mean and cantankerous.

POB: Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
Grade: None

Nicolette Blackman grew up idolizing the big hair heavy metal bands of the eighties. Her bedroom was plastered with posters and she had an entire corner dedicated as a shrine to the gods of metal. In high school she took up playing the bass guitar and by the time she graduated she had been a member of several garage bands. These groups never seemed to work out, as her bandmates fought amongst themselves over the stupid little things every small band seems to break up for. People would stop showing up for rehearsals, hog all the credit, or leave because their creative ideas were rejected.

After several years of playing gigs and filling in as a replacement with the many bar bands in the greater Ontario area, Nicolette packed up her Gremlin and headed South of the border. She stopped in Detroit for a few years, working as a studio musician for one of the Motown labels before heading to Seattle. There she first met Rouser, a upcoming grunge/punk rocker in his own right. The local music scene wasn’t her style, so she drove down the coast to LA. After a year of waiting tables and sending demo tapes to the studios, she had enough rejection letters to wallpaper her small apartment. Her luck changed when she was hired by a movie studio to work in their music department. On the weekends she played with a few of the local bands, making herself visible in the local music scene and building a reputation as a solid bass player.

When Head-Banger was looking for another bass player to join Cold Slither, he remembered a young female musician from LA. He contacted her and offered her the position in the band. After she accepted, the idea people created a new look for her. Nicolette Blackman became Nikki Black, aka ‘Snakeskin’-the Goddess of the Bass. To play up her marketing appeal, she posed for all the mens magazines (tastefully non-nude) and shot a swimsuit calendar on an undisclosed island in the Gulf of Mexico. Each month had a different shot of Nikki posing with various reptiles around the island. Once released to the public it quickly sold out at newsstands and at concerts, and her website ‘www.nikkiskin.com’ drew millions of hits a day.

From Clutch: “So I’m workin’ on my VAMP at the Philly PIT one day, getting’ the ol’ girl up and runnin’ all smooth-like again, when Scarlett and Cover Girl come in. They see the Snakeskin calendar up on the wall and start rippin’ inta me. I throw my hands up ‘cause it’s no big deal, right? Chicks, ya know? Then Scarlett yanks it off the wall. I try to get it back ‘cause I don’t know if she’s gonna tear it or not. I mean, I paid $15 bucks for twelve months of that hot Nikki Black, see? Then she starts starin’ at it real close-like. I’m thinkin’, ‘Whoa, Scarlett!’ She waves Cover Girl over and they both take turns starin’ at it. I’m startin’ ta feel like I’m in one of those stories ya read about in the magazines, ya know what I mean? Scarlett starts flippin’ through the pages and then they both look up at me. Next thing I know we’re all talkin’ with Hawk in his office. Seems Scarlett saw sumptin’ real familiar ‘bout that photo shoot. It was Cobra Island! We’ve been there enough times to recognize the geography and landmarks. An’ thas how we found out Cobra was behind Cold Slither. ‘Sa shame though, that Snakeskin is one mighty fine lookin’ chick!"

Roland spent his formative years watching the zany antics of American movie actor Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run) dubbed into German. When he purchased his first vehicle, he tore up the Auto Bahn like his silver screen hero. Several accidents later he moved to the United States and began a career of leading high-speed pursuit chases all across the South. While serving a five year stretch for numerous moving violation charges, Roland joined up with Torch and Ripper in prison. He managed to get released with them as part of the deal the Crimson Twins worked out when they gave up arms dealers that were cutting in on Destro’s business. He was taken to the compound in the Everglades, where he met Zartan and the rest of the Dreadnoks. Roland has tried unsuccessfully to convince Heartwrencher to be his ‘Froggie.’
“Da Bandit! Mistah Buhd Reynols. He is mein hero, yah. Dat is vy I drive da ’77 Pohntiahk Trahns Zam Fiyabuhd like heem too! Oh, Heartwrencher, my liddle Froggie!”
