Over the years, Sergeant Slaughter has headed several teams of GI Joe operatives. The first of these was the Renegades, a group of three misfits hardly fit for duty, who he turned into bona fide soldiers to make use of on 'off the book' missions.

His second team built on this success. The idea was, if he could turn a group of goons into Joes, what could he do with a team of actual Joes, given the time? The result of that work was the Marauders, and was highly successful in its anti-Cobra activities.
