The Flat-Vipers are trained in the use of portable artillery weapons to fire at any airborne targets that can be observed, aimed at and destroyed. Their multipurpose assault weapons have a passive, infrared targeting and sighting system built into their helmets. While most Cobra troopers use computerized equipment that makes use of a G.P.S. (Global Positioning System) to obtain accurate aiming points, the Flak-Vipers have exceptional natural hand-eye coordination and the ability to concentrate simultaneously on two or more targets in their range of sight. This allows them to fire extremely accurate missiles at G. I. Joe aircraft with absolute impunity! To maintain the maximum level of effectiveness, Flak-Vipers spend long hours every day practicing simulated missile engagements using a program cartridge that plugs into their helmets.

This Flak-Viper comes from a family of bus owners in England, who watched their life’s work suffer through years of aerial bombing during times of war. He grew up hating the idea of being helpless against aircraft and joined the Cobra army, where he strove like no other Flak-Viper to personally deny the enemy air superiority. Cobra Commander took notice of his unparalleled hit ratio, and chose him for Operation: Flaming M.O.T.H.™, where he will accompany a Range-Viper into the Australian desert to retrieve a vital piece of the downed U.S. Military satellite.
