The Night-Viper helmet is a miracle of electronic-miniaturization. Aside from its Monocular Night Vision Device (MNVD), it includes a wide-angle, third-generation, image-intensifier, directional sound amplifier, laser range-finder, and boasts a passive infrared detector that can spot the body heat of a lizard at 100 yards. The Night-Viper combat suit, helmet and weapons are mostly made of synthetic composites that reduce the wearer’s own infrared signature and defy most ground radars. He can use either electronically-assisted ranged weapons or vicious CQB (close quarter battle) techniques to accomplish any mission. All these components give him a “see first … eliminate first” advantage in any night fighting scenario.

In his youth, this future Cobra found comfort in perpetual darkness, hating sunlight and those who would revel in it. His criminal exploits in the dark hours of night lead him to join Cobra and gradually rise within its ranks. He gained the attention of Cobra high command after leading many successful raids on G.I. Joe outposts. It was Cobra Commander who personally chose this Night-Viper squad leader for Operation: Flaming M.O.T.H. and teamed him with a Frag-Viper for the satellite recovery mission. Combining their specialized skills and equipment, the jungle duo must creep into the deepest, darkest jungles of South America to locate the first of four components from the sabotaged U.S. Military satellite. They must find this crucial piece wherever it may be hidden in the nearly impenetrable labyrinth of trees and vines before any G.I. Joe troops can intervene.

“Every piece of shrapnel counts!”
