Abyssal Princes and Lords (Tanar'ri): those rare few tanar'ri who live long enough, and gather enough power, can ascend past the known, common forms their race takes as they evolve, becoming unique. Even fewer of these rule a layer of the Abyss itself! Availability:

the Accountant: made an undead horror by the sorcerer Icthyon, George Zimmerman was reborn a vampire - though he didn't let that ruin his life. Using skills learned via accounting skullduggery, he began to carve out a little empire all his own...! Availability:

Ace: a gambler through and through, Brad likes nothing more than a good poker game - hence his code name. It's fitting in two aspects, as Brad is also the Joe team's crack fighter pilot, who's downed more Cobra jets than you can shake a stick at! Availability:

AceTone: possessing the natural gift of strength enhancement, Yuki was taken in by Mindwatch after her powers went out of control. Soon after she got them under control, she began work on mastering metapsi powers as a part-time Mindwatch agent! Availability:

Action Man: Matthew Exler was adopted by a world-famous rocket scientist, and embraced mental disciplines as well as the physical. Forged in the literal fire of a family tragedy, the man known only as Action Man quickly became the Greatest Hero of All! Availability:

the Acrimonious Apostate: Ethel Rhea was a professional bodybuilder who originally found the Church of Hercules appealing - until she discovered its vast corruption. Losing her faith entirely, she eventually became a Frankologist! Availability:

Aero-Vipers: pilots of Cobra's Condor Z-25 Fighter-Bomber, the Aero-Vipers corps constantly train their bodies to withstand the same punishment that their Strato-Viper counterparts can absorb - but they manage to do so without surgical augmentation! Availability:

Agent Axis: originally three separate fascist spies, Agent Axis is the result of their accidental merger in a freak accident while in flight. Though granted three times the power of an ordinary man, he is also cursed with a fractured, querulous mind. Availability:

Agent Deathmonger: having a long history with both the United States Army and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, former Mrj. Michael Shaw is an expert in investivative work, and can keep his objectivity no matter how bizarre everything gets. Availability:

Agent Delta: Lorcan Rourke was one of General Flagg's original recruits for his small, anti-terrorist operation. Sent to infiltrate Cobra early in its formation, Lorcan was believed to have been killed in the line of duty - at least, until recently...! Availability:

Agent Faces: GI Joe's resident super spy, Michelino's natural disguise and mimicry talents are backed up by top notch covert training provided by the United States Army. He can disguise himself as virtually anybody he wishes to, with but a few minutes of study! Availability:

Agent Helix: the neurodivergent covert operative known only as Agent Helix is poorly adjusted to function in modern society. Her unique mind nonetheless allows her to work well in detail-oriented combat situations, however, which she does for her own reasons! Availability:

the Aggravant: the result of a matter duplicator accident, Chuck is the counterpart of the original Charlie Chicanery. After a brief stint alongside a gang of cross-time thugs, Chuck has returned home to launch his very own career as a super hero! Kind of. Availability:

the Air Assault Glider: designed to work in two distinct modes, the Air Assault Glider can function as either a normal GI Joe glider or be converted into a fully functional Cobra jet pack - the better for Barrel Roll to slip behind Cobra lines with! Availability:

the Air Chariot: a veritable mobile throne for Serpentor to occupy whilst leading Cobra forces towards global domination, the Air Chariot is an ostentatious, snake-themed golden aircraft that the emperor may use to survey the battlefield from above. Availability:

Air Devils: while Night Vultures sometimes fight Cobra's enemies while looting their lines, their Air Devils have the inverse job. They descend upon the enemy to sabotage personnel and equipment however they can, and only relieve their gear as an afterthought. Availability:

Air Raid: a seasoned Air Force test pilot, Benjamin Thomas was a perfect fit for GI Joe, since most of its aircraft are experimental at best. The new pilot of Sky Patrol's Skystriker, Benjamin is testing their stealth technology out on a venerable craft! Availability:

the Air Skiff: whether he built it himself or stole it from someone else, Zanzibar has made his Air Skiff a vital component of his criminal self-identity. A self-proclaimed air pirate, he uses it to pilfer goods from targets on both land and sea! Availability:

Air-Vipers: the core of Cobra's air force, Air-Vipers are those pilots the organization has lured into its service. Whether highly skilled fighter pilots or washed out commercial operators, Air-Vipers either get good on the job or crash and burn. Availability:

AVACs: Air-Vipers, Advanced Class, or AVACs, are elite Cobra pilots that are seemingly fearless, and capable of performing advanced calculations in their head. Both qualities are vital if one wishes to pilot the so-called Pocket Rocket: the Firebat! Availability:

Airborne: born to oil-rich parents, Franklin E Talltree enjoyed jumping out of airplanes as a hobby - it makes him feel alive. Though a law school graduate, Franklin wanted to perform his hobby for a living, so he joined the Army to become a paratrooper! Availability:

Airborne 2: Robert is easily the most popular Sky Patrol member, but not due to any juvenile pecking order. No, he's well liked because he does his level best to get everyone to their mission in one piece, and patches them up when they get perforated. Availability:

Airtight: a merciless practical joker and fan of the bizarre, Airtight is also the GI Joe expert on nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. When Cobra breaks out the dirty tricks, he's the first to wade in after them to put a stop to such tactics! Availability:

Airwave: an electronics expert without peer, Cliff can 'kit-bash' like no one else, and is infamous for his improvisational electronics repairs. He serves as the audible frequency expert for GI Joe's Sky Patrol team - and is mean in a firefight, too! Availability:

Alkiliths (Tanar'ri): wretched corruption personified, alkiliths are formless terrors that work to spread the horrors of the Abyss throughout the multiverse. They ruin everything they can get their pseudopods on, and delight in doing just that. Availability:

the AWE Striker: a small, lightweight vehicle, this grass-green, off-road marvel was adopted by GI JOE in 1985. Weighing 2.8 tons and armed with a powerful, recoil-less rifle, the AWE Striker can offer the Joes fire support almost anywhere! Availability:

the All American: After developing paranormal powers, New York Smashers quarterback Jack Magniconte founded Kickers, Inc., to use said abilities to help others handle off-the-wall problems that no one else could! Availability:

Alley-Vipers: Cobras who excel in urban combat, Alley-Vipers spearhead that organization's inner-city warfare initiatives. Strong, tough, and brutal, Alley-Vipers are notorious for the heinous crimes they commit while active in high population areas. Availability:

Alpine: though he was a perfectly good accountant, having a decent job with prospects, Albert wanted more out of life. As such, he enlisted to use his hobby, mountain climbing, to help his country - which he does as a mountain trooper! Availability:

Altitude: a former syndicated cartoon artist and a Sergeant Major of the Army, John-Edward has a unique background. Of course, add his eidetic memory on top of that, and you have the makings for an unbelievably effective recon patrolman and combat artist! Availability:

Alu-fiends (Tanar'ri): the offspring of succubi and non-tanar'ri, alu-fiends posses of many of their mothers' abilities. They also have the skill to master sorcery, and often carry impresive magical items to make up for their physical weakness. Availability:

Ambush: Aaron has been one those quiet kinds of guys ever since he was a wee youth. In fact, he always seems to slip through the cracks, and folks tend to forget he's around - which isn't helped any by the fact that he's a master of camouflage...! Availability:

American Avenger: drafted in Argentina by the grandson of El Gaucho, American Don Caldwell became that hero's replacement. He calls himself the American Avenger elsewhere though, battling his homeland's enemies in Argentina and beyond! Availability:

the Amphibious Personnel Carrier: this versatile, armored troop carrier has been in the GI Joe arsenal for years. This because, in addition to being able to drive on land or water, it's a very safe conveyance for Joes on their way to a mission! Availability:

the Angel: Thomas Holloway was raised in a prison under bizarre circumstances, learning a whole lot about everything. With the aid of this vast catalog of knowledge, he wages a never-ending battle against villainy as the high-flying Angel! Availability:

the Angel 2: when his brother retired as the original Angel, Simon Halloway (literally) picked up the costume and ran with it. Fighting crime when he wasn't scrounging for food and shelter, Simon occasionally did some good in his time. Availability:

Angry Annie: Annie Claymore is a petulant sociopath who believes the world should both revolve around her desires, and abide by her own jaundiced view of How Things Work. Naturally, she explodes with murderous rage when it invariably doesn't. Availability:

Jake Smythe: the Angry Man: Jake became a space-faring hero after discovering the indigo Rainbow Gem on the family farm - until the sorcerer Mho stole it from him. It took him years, but Jake finally got it back, though he's been damaged by the experience. Availability:

Annihilators: thanks to the heli-pack assigned to each Annihlator, these airborne soldiers may be instantly deployed from any location! Serving as Destro's personal bodyguards, Annihlators work together to guarantee his safety - and that of their paychecks! Availability:

Anthropists (Devoted): while they hail from any number of different backgrounds, members of the Anthropy Society have the potential to have a couple of things in common, hence this sort of 'boilerplate' description of these ideologists. Availability:

Antibody: while he originally wanted to be a doctor, medical intern Randy O'Brien's life was forever changed after the White Event, when he developed the power to generate negative-image duplicates of himself, which he had little - if any - control over! Availability:

the AGP: the first mass-produced aircraft produced by Destro for his Iron Grenadiers, the Anti-Gravity Pod, or AGP, is a small and vast VTOL vehicle. Capable of independently pivoting its jet engine, the AGP is capable of truly amazing aerial maneuvers! Availability:

Antons: vaguely humanoid beings hailing from the small planetoid of Torsa, the Antons belligerently attempted to conquer our world once their own was trapped in earth's orbit. Luckily for humanity, Professor Zog was on hand to stop them cold! Availability:

Professor Appel: one of the older Crimson Guard operatives, Professor Appel is arguably its smartest. The genius behind the successful, diabolical plot to create Cobra Island, Appel is one of the few scientists that Cobra Commander trusts. Availability:

the Arctic Blast: small and fast, the Arctic Blast is comprised of two large, off-road tires driving an oversized sled. Most often driven by Windchill, this thing is armed to the teeth and a lot faster than you'd expect it to be on first glance. Availability:

Arden: Arden works as a Lateral Shifter. It's her job to cross from one variant timeline to another, to research how certain phenomena manifest in different universes, all to better predict how they will affect her own - for good or ill! Availability:

Armadillo: Philo R. Makepeace was an insanely fast driver in the civilian market before repeated complaints caused him to seek similar employ in the military. That's when it was discovered that Philo drives not just quickly, but very, very rough, as well! Availability:

the Armadillo Assault: a somewhat large ride, the Armadillo Assault is built tough. It can be configured as an armored carrier or a dune buggy depending on the Joes' needs. It also comes equipped with a one-person scout craft, making it its own air support! Availability:

the Armadillo Mini-Tank: a tank in miniature, the Armadillo packs the fire power of four linked, 60mm cannons into a vehicle the size of a Ford ™ Escort ™. Though small, and having only one real weapon to speak of, it's fast and highly durable. Availability:

Armanites (Tanar'ri): seeming masters of the Abyss' 377th layer, the armanite hordes populating that plane resemble pale, undead centaurs. They wander the land in troupes, selling their services to whoever offers them enough plunder... and fresh meat. Availability:

the Armor-Bot: the ultimate expression of Star Brigade armor technology, the Armor-Bot is a gigantic humanoid vehicle. A powerful mech, the Armor-Bot is armed to the teeth, and can walk or drive into battle on earth or amongst the stars alongside GI Joe! Availability:

Armorhide: one of the more belligerent Combatrons, Armorhide likes nothing more than to fight - especially if large explosions are involved. An expert in desert warfare, he enjoys watching his foes fall victim to the lethal traps he's set for them. Availability:

Armula: a previously low-rent mutant thug with like capability, Simon Furst was the unfortunate victim of what he thought was a random vampire attack. Rising from the dead anew, he has rechristened himself Armula - the four armed vampire! Availability:

Article II: recruited because he was a patriotic, hard-working, and most of all honest cop, Arthur Blaine Poindexter II became the D.A.A.'s worst nightmare when he decided he could do a much better job protecting Freedom than they ever could! Availability:

Asbestos Lady: a shrewd man-hater, the Asbestos Lady was driven to new heights of loathing by one man above all others: the Human Torch! Humiliating her time and again, the Torch has earned a singular place in the Asbestos Lady's blackened heart. Availability:

Asclepius: son of Apollo, Asclepius was originally the best surgeon in all of Greece, trained by the centaur Chiron. After Hades petitioned Zeus to slay him, Asclepius ascended to godhood himself... seemingly living on to this very day. Availability:

Ashiko: a professional stunt driver as well as an Arashikage ninja, it was easy to guess that the GI Joe team would recruit Ashiko to operate its Cycle Armor. Though he fights just fine without it, Ashiko is an offensive juggernat while armored up! Availability:

the Assault Quad: a small, offensive ATV, the Assault Quad is impressively armed for its size, featuring one machine gun and two missile launchers. Its armament, ordnance, and maneuverability make it perfect for scouting or dealing with small groups of enemy troops. Availability:

the ASP: a towable weapon system equipped with two powerful Eliminator cannons, the Assault System Pod, or ASP, is a menace to all Cobra's enemies. Capable of striking foes on land, sea, or air, the ASP excels for providing security or fire superiority! Availability:

Astro-Vipers: those Strato-Vipers with technical ability are often trained in combat under numerous gravitational conditions, as well as satellite and spacecraft maintenance. These Cobranauts are then let loose in orbit to further Cobra's interests! Availability:

Astronomer: mentally and physically changed by his obsessive study of the cosmos, the Astronomer is one of the Elders of the Universe. Naturally, as one of the Universe's elders, he felt that he was best suited to run the joint. Availability:

Atlanteans (Typical, v13): the odd aquatic humanoids commonly referred to as Atlanteans are a reclusive offshoot of humanity. Usually only encountered on or near the open sea, these seemingly hostile entities are hard to see - and harder to fight! Availability:

the Attack Cruiser: an improvement on GI Joe's Remote Piloted Vehicle, the Attack Cruiser has a similar vehicle which can also be used as a bomb in a pinch, and is armed with multiple personnel and vehicle counter-measures to neutralize Cobra forces! Availability:

Avalanche: Ian decided to do something better with his life than engage in the family business of bootlegging, poaching, and smuggling, and enlisted in the Army. The military then put his skills to use, and now he's a cold weather survival expert, too! Availability:

the Avalanche: the latest in a mighty line of GI Joe cold weather combat vehicles, the Avalanche is a heavily armed and armored, tracked assault vehicle, one that also contained a hidden surprise: a super-sonic VTOL support craft stowed within! Availability:

Axer: a lethally efficient bounty hunter and interdiction expert working for the Decepticons, Axer found himself on earth after a chance encounter with a black hole, and has since decided that he don't like Scourge very much - since he doesn't pay. Availability:

Aya: the goddess of dawn, Aya has the task of dispelling the darkness before the sun, Shamash, rides through the sky on his solar chariot. Though this is her primary duty, she also represents youth, love, sex, marriage, and motherhood. Availability:

B

B'ntri (Typical): inhuman monstrosities hailing from a forgotten, rogue world with no name, the B'ntri are cunning, magically inclined, tentacular horrors. These beasts spread like wildfire through known space, eating their way through the cosmos! Availability:

Babau (Tanar'ri): babau assemble the vast tanar'ri armies required to wage the Blood War. They conscript their least and lesser cousins into the fight, while themselves avoiding the front lines as long as they can keep the 'recruits' coming. Availability:

Babel: Thame Panagitis became obsessed with bringing about a world government, after his exposure to KGB defector Alexei Ruyanev's ideas. Helping him form the Medusa Web, Thame went on to lead its clandestine efforts to unite the planet. Availability:

Backblast: after growing up in the shadow of New York City's greatest airport, Edward J. Menninger decided he'd had more than enough. Hating airplanes after years of exposure to their loud noise and bright lights, he enlisted to get a job blowing the things up! Availability:

Backfire: a nondescript guy before the White Event, George was a hard-up loser. While the Event gave him impressive reflective powers, he's still a loser, endlessly perpetrating his raunchy personality upon the Web during its many paramilitary actions. Availability:

Backstop: though he's been run out of every sport he tried, from hockey to wrestling to boxing, Robert finally found a home in GI Joe. The man is brutally competitive, and has a habit of leaving broken opponents in his wake - and that's just his friends! Availability:

the Badger: though lightly armed, the Badger is astoundingly fast and maneuverable. A modified, heavily armored Jeep, this neon green off-road vehicle is great for leading the charge against any Cobra infantry in the field - no matter where they hide! Availability:

Doctor Lucian Ballad: assigned to the Remsen children after their parents died in a bombing, psychologist Lucian Ballad was amazed to find out that both were paranormals, and convinced them to use their abilities to help others. Availability:

Kayla Ballantine: when her boyfriend Quasar returned from a cross-time adventure, he inadvertently passed the Star Brand to Kayla. Though she didn't realize it at first, various villains were able to perceive the thing, and schemed to take it from her. Availability:

Balors (Tanar'ri): most powerful of the true tanar'ri, balors are few and far between. However, the blazing power they wield is enough to cow even the most arrogant tanar'ri into submission - further aiding their crusades against the hated baatezu! Availability:

Banzai: seeking purpose and direction, Robert J. Travalino walked the earth, and went on adventures. In Tibet, he encountered a reclusive ninja master who forged him into a weapon that could make his own path, which Robert decided involved becoming a GI Joe ninja! Availability:

Bar-lgura (Tanar'ri): strong resembling conventional orangutans, bar-lgura aren't much smarter than those mundane creatures. Of course, normal animals don't bear an arsenal of demonic powers, much less such sullen, blinding blinding rage...! Availability:

Barbecue: thrill-seeker and all around party animal, Barbecue became a fire fighter for the sheer thrill of it all. The only dedicated firefighter on the GI Joe team, Barbecue tends to be placed on missions with the flamethrower experts. Availability:

Barnaby Eveningstar: a scholar researching evil magic to better combat it, Barnaby Billingsly studied vampirism intently, and even managed to wield it as a mere mortal. Unfortunately for him, however, his diabolical power got the best of him. Availability:

Señor Barnett: the child of two super heroes, Arpad Barnett didn't develop powers initially, living a cheerfully normal life. At least, he did until his uncontrollable technopsionic legacy caught up with him, and seemingly unhinged the man! Availability:

Baron Blood: after an encounter with the mighty Dracula, malcontent blueblood John Falsworth became a vampire himself. His twisted need for vengeance against his brother eventually drove him to Nazi Germany, for aid in crushing his relative and homeland. Availability:

the Baroness: after her brother was seemingly killed by an American soldier, the girl who would become the Baroness was consumed with a need for vengeance, and her foray into international terrorism ultimately led to an association with Cobra. Availability:

the Barracuda: an incredibly small vehicle, the Barracuda is in effect a one-man submarine. This tiny ride can swim beneath the waves to attack Cobra's aquatic vessels, rapidly sinking them with torpedoes before the evil terrorists even know what hit them! Availability:

Barrel Roll: Dwight E. Stall comes from a family with a long tradition of military service. He is the first of three siblings to complete the GI Joe's training course, and has proven to be a most capable soldier, whether he's on the ground or in the skies! Availability:

Barricade: an urban combat expert, Phillip was trained long and hard in his art, which made joining GI Joe almost too easy for him. A latecomer to the group, he nonetheless works hard to prove his mettle when he leads his fellow Joes into a hostile city! Availability:

Louis 'Treetop' Barrington: this somewhat shady man was a Huey pilot doing covert op troop insertions / extractions during Vietnam, but resorted to taking any job from the highest bidder afterwards - until Mark Hazzard helped him to see the light. Availability:

Basher Bob: a brain-addled dwarf from elsewhere, Basher Bob was mistaken for a Warrior of Thor upon his inadvertent arrival in New York. Delivered to their lodge by the authorities, he just sort of moved in since everyone there assumed he belonged, too. Availability:

Battle Android Troopers: BATs are mass-produced in various Cobra Island factories, using factory seconds for microprocessors and mechanical components built in third world sweat shops. Though dumb as hammers, BATs are heavily armed and dangerous! Availability:

the Battle Barge: keeping a low profile as they gently float around Cobra Island, the Battle Barges are easy to miss - at least, until they attack! Armed with three powerful machine guns, the Barges packs a lot more punch than you'd expect for their size! Availability:

The Battle Blitz: a six-wheeled, all-terrain vehicle with a large vertical profile, the Battle Blitz is one of the Joe team's 'Spy Troops' vehicles with a built-in surprise - this being a built-in 'land luge' launcher a Joe operative can ride at incredible speeds! Availability:

the Battle Copter: while the Air Commandos can quietly get somewhere in a hurry, they're admittedly at the mercy of the weather. Keeping this in mind, the GI Joe team built a powered alternative to their gliders, in the form of this backpack helicopter! Availability:

the Battle Wagon: a large offensive vehicle, the Battle Wagon lives up to its name. It looks like a giant, oversized pickup truck with a missile launcher mounted where the bed should be. With, of course, laser guns and a strange cab with a freaky grille. Availability:

the BUGG: the Battling Underwater Global Guard is an amphibious vehicle with which Cobra patrols the shores of its treacherous Island. It has numerous sub-vehicles to warn off trespassers, and enough firepower to deal with those who don't get the message! Availability:

Bazooka: a former tank jockey until his sudden epiphany about untrained yahoos immobilizing million dollar hardware with two hundred dollar handheld rockets, Bazooka instead became a missile specialist himself, plying his trade for the GI Joe team! Availability:

Beach Head: one of the hardest, meanest Rangers ever to come out of Fort Benning, Wayne is a perfect addition to GI Joe, as his never-ending quest for personal perfection tends to rub off on others - even if it does so in a somewhat abrasive fashion! Availability:

Beachcomber: an expert astrogeologist, Beachcomber loves nothing more than to explore beautiful, remote reaches of worlds throughout the cosmos. Unfortunately for him, he's found himself in the middle of a war that has raged for million of years. Availability:

the Behemoth Remote Controlled Tank: this ominous, glossy black tank was an advanced, remote controlled weapon of war that Krotze International had developed for the Department of Defense to wage war without putting American soldiers at risk. Availability:

Big Bear: filling the role of Horror Show in the Oktober Guard after a fashion, Big Bear was recruited onto the team after the death of most of its original line-up. Big and surly, Big Bear more than makes up for his attitude with his effective performance. Availability:

Big Ben: an elite British SAS soldier, David is as competent as your average American Special Forces trooper. Though trained differently, he's just as good as his fellow Joes are versus Cobra forces, no matter what the nefarious terrorists are up to! Availability:

Big Boa: despised by GI Joe and Cobra operatives alike, Big Boa is the chief drill instructor of the latter group. A seeming force of nature gone wrong, Big Boa has what it takes to whip even Cobra's teeming masses of criminal scum into fighting shape! Availability:

Big Brawler: with his dual military specialties, Brian is more than effective at rooting out terrorists based in jungle environs. This made him an excellent fit for the GI Joe team, as Cobra often hides their bases in the nastiest jungles they can find! Availability:

Big Lob: an obsessive basketball fan, Big Lob showed he was a true athlete upon breezing his way through basic training. He's since proved himself to both the regular brass and the GI Joe team, and excels in all manner of the team's special missions! Availability:

(just) Billy: the only known son of the diabolical Cobra Commander, Billy's life has proven to be an endless cavalcade of calamity. He rises above his awful family life, though, by doing his best to ensure no one else suffers as he has at the hands of Cobra! Availability:

Bio-Vipers: former Cobra EELs forever altered after Doctor Mindbender experimented upon them with his latest chimeric genetic cocktail, the Bio-Vipers are now near-mindless rampaging machines, aquatic monstrosities that menace global sea lanes! Availability:

the Black Marvel: passing extensive and extreme tests of strength, stamina and dexterity, Dan Lyons proved worthy of carrying the mantle of the Black Marvel. Living up to its responsibilities, he constantly strives to right wrongs! Availability:

Black Widow: when her younger sister was murdered by a Hollywood gangster, Claire Voyant made a Faustian pact with Satan to get revenge. Of course, this damned her to a life of constantly retrieving evil souls for that demon. Availability:

the Blackstars: a secretive legion of space pilots, the mysterious Blackstars are expert space combatants. Working out an arrangement with Cobra, the Blackstars offer that organization the services of whoever is currently the best out of all their pilots. Availability:

Blast-Off: the greatest firefighter Missouri ever knew, Jeffrey D. Thompson single-handedly extinguished a forest fire after his fellows were incapacitated by smoke - earning him a place with GI Joe. Of course, now he sets fires as well as exinguishing them! Availability:

Blaster (G1): the core of Autobot communications, Blaster is an expert in radio signal transception. Overwhelmingly fond of rock music, his relentless pursuit of the latest tunes has possibly revealed the lone weakness in this otherwise solid operative! Availability:

Blaster (GI Joe): smitten with ground effect vehicle technology since his youth, Brian enlisted to acquire the funding he needed to develop it further. This worked out better than he imagined, and now Brian is on the bleeding edge of its development! Availability:

Blazing Skull: fired upon while reporting on the second Sino-Japanese war, ace reporter Mark Todd sough shelter in a cave inhabited by strange Skull-men. Finding him honorable, they made Mark into their champion - the Blazing Skull! Availability:

Blizzard: Gregory is tough because he has to be, for he knows that with his job as a cold weather soldier - much less the instructor of such - he will become a statistic if he goes easy on himself. And his charges will as well, if he goes easy on them. Availability:

the Blockbuster: the Blockbuster is a 6WD vehicle designed primarily for Arctic combat, but can be deployed just about anywhere - though its white paint job may hinder that some. It's armed with a massive pom-pom launcher and Gatling cannon bank, so watch out! Availability:

Blocker: tiring of life as a Boston cab driver, David enlisted to get a ride with which he could shoot back at the opposition. He's proven so good at fighting behind the wheel that he was eventually selected to be a Battle Force 2000 vehicular combatant! Availability:

the Blonde Phantom: a secretary for the Mark Mason Detective Agency, Louise Grant was secretly the Blonde Phantom! When Mark stumbled upon any serious threat on the job, Louise'd step in as the Phantom and set things straight! Availability:

Blowtorch: Timothy joined the Army to master the most ancient weapon: fire! Though he wields the stuff like a demon in battle, Timothy is probably the biggest proponent of fire safety on earth, knowing full well what it's capable of. Availability:

Bludgeon: something of a schemer, Bludgeon is the rare, grandiose sort of villain who can back up his talk with muscle. He's strong and tough on top of his mental brawn, and had he not joined up with Scourge, he'd have founded the Destructicons himself! Availability:

Blue Blade: riding away from his destitute farm during the Dust Bowl, Roy Chambers decied to become rich and famous - no matter the cost. And how else to do this than do what everyone else was of late: donning an ostentatious costume and doing good deeds! Availability:

the Blue Blaze: exposed to a mysterious blue blaze his father had discovered in the midst of a tornado, Spencer Keen was slain outright. Rising from his grave a century later, Keen was driven to fight against evil and injustice... as the Blue Blaze! Availability:

Bluestreak: having never been the same since his home town was destroyed by Decepticons, this lone survivor of Praxus talks non-stop to prevent himself from thinking about his past. Though this usually annoys his fellow Autobots, it sometimes works. Availability:

Blur: a former Burger King ™ manager, Jeffrey Walters was transformed into a super speedster in the wake of the White Event. Unable to deactivate his accelerated motion, Jeffrey is constantly shaking out of control - a veritable Blur! Availability:

the Bomb Disposal Unit: handy for Exposive Ordnanace Disposal work, this small, treaded device can handle undetonated weaponry (both allied and enemy) with relative safety. In other words, the Bomb Disposal Unit helps GI Joe render an area safe! Availability:

Bombstrike: Alyssa has shown once again that her family is destined for greatness. Having earned her place on the GI Joe team as a forward air controller and counterintelligence expert, Alyssa is already proving that the Joes know talent when they see it! Availability:

Boo-Getty: Redneck Zombie: transformed into a so-called 'greater zombie' by a mad wizard with designs on global domination, Jeb Jacobs instead decided to use his newfound physical power and renewed life to further his own ends, and not his re-creator's. Availability:

Boss Sarpo: a devious crime boss based in Ohio, Boss Sarpo never met a crime he didn't like. In addition to looting entire towns of everything not nailed down, Sarpo entered the big leagues when he gained control of Electro for a time! Availability:

Brain Drain: a morally dubious scientist, Werner Schmidt was crushed by a falling spacecraft shortly after duplicating the American Super-soldier Serum. Rebuilt by his new friends in a robot body, he returned to curse the world as the bizarre Brain Drain! Availability:

the Brain-wave Scanner: Doctor Venom's single greatest invention, this device gives Cobra access to the very minds of others! Capable of probing or controlling minds, use of the Scanner is itself torture, as it inflicts undue agony while operational. Availability:

Brainrave: a telepath with a severe electronica fetish, Comyna is a happy go lucky adventurer whether or not she's currently working with Mindwatch. She's as likely to go clubbing as she is stomping on Mindwatch's enemies, mind you. Availability:

the Brawler: a large, self-propelled gun, the Brawler's main feature is its 77mm Howitzer cannon. Then there's the large surface-to-air missiles, the twinned machine gun mounts, and its cutting-edge ablative armor technology. It really lives up to its name! Availability:

Brawn: a braggart boastful about his sheer physical power, Brawn is more than ready to back up his claims with results. While he's smaller than most Autobots, Brawn's definitely one of the strongest and toughest brawlers in that group's roster! Availability:

Breaker: Alvin is a master of at least seven languages and most NATO radio gear. Despite an initial lack of combat experience, and being one of the youngest men to ever become a Joe, Alvin has proven indispensible as the team's communications officer. Availability:

Colonel Brekhov: leader of the original Oktober Guard, Colonel Ivan Nikelovich Brekhov is notorious for his take no prisoners and make no apologies attitude. This cigar-chomping veteran is a fair and patriotic role model for his subordinates! Availability:

Brick: not much is known about this bizarre murder machine, other than the fact that he has been utilized by Edmund Roth in the past. A capable killer, Brick is nonetheless susceptible to the ultrasonic frequencies used to control his mind. Availability:
