Range-Vipers are trained to survive long-term operations deep within unfriendly territory, completely cut off from communications or supplies. They have an unusually high tolerance for discomfort and can survive on a diet of snakes, grubs, roots, berries, nuts, and whatever slow rodents they can catch. They are expected to procure their own ammunition by way of hit and run raids on enemy camps and ammo depots. These troopers are the top of the food chain and can flourish in the uninhabited wastelands of any region.

The sole survivor of a suspicious accident in the Simpson Desert that claimed his entire family, this anti-social youth grew up to be the perfect candidate for the Cobra corps. Coincidentally, it was years later as a Range-Viper that he was the only survivor of a long range recon team that went into the rugged desert and disappeared without a trace. He actually enjoys being posted in remote locations, left to his own devices, and lying in wait to take out a G.I. Joe patrol. He was chosen by Skullbuster, the Range-Viper Commander, to return to the Australian Outback for Operation: Flarning M.O.T.H. because of his knowledge of the area and his apparently uncanny knack for survival. He grudgingly accepts the aid of one of Cobra Commander’s top Flak-Vipers, but no one is counting on them both making it back.

“No one enters my territory and leaves alive!”
