G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

The third with Outback and Falcon could be Psyche-Out. Psy Ops training then he can reasonably talk people in the states that Outback bailed over the ocean.

That is a very solid pick. I've been avoiding characters who haven't shown up in Classified so far just as a way to self-manage my focus but I've broken the rule at least a couple of times so far.

Code Name: Copperhead
File Name: Unknown
Primary Military Specialty: Air driver swamp vehicle driver
Secondary Military Specialty: Swamp fighter
Birthplace: Unknown
Grade: N/A

This man's file is a collection of hearsay, conjecture, and outright lies. He has more aliases than we can name here, and none have been verified; it is believed he simply makes up names on the spot without regard for espionage or cover. His birthplace is rumored to be the Florida Everglades, the Amazon Basin, or a Mediterranean island. It is also possible none of these are true. He currently owes gambling debts not only in the U.S. but also as far as Monaco and Japan, primarily from betting on his own races. It has been recommended on numerous occasions that the Lewis administration cut ties with this individual for security and PR purposes, but Lewis himself continues to find him personally useful.

"Cobra Commander cut ties with the Dreadnoks upon taking office because they were an unmanageable crew of chaotic, dangerous anarchists he could not control. Copperhead is anarchic and dangerous, but he is a man Lewis can keep under his thumb by leveraging his gambling debts. Copperhead is, in Lewis's own words, a 'useful idiot.' He has been given nominal command over the remains of the Python Patrol, though day to day operations are managed by a pair of former Cobra officers. Meanwhile, Copperhead himself is utilized as a smuggler of guns, drugs, and illicit tech Lewis needs kept off the books. Should he become a problem, the Python Patrol remnants have permission to put him down like a dog, but for now, he remains more use alive than dead."

I like the idea that not everyone is a total badass. Copperhead just kind of... sucks. But it also feels right.

Everything in his file cards say he's a failure at life, but he can pilot watercraft like a demon. I like that in a one on one situation, he's probably pretty dangerous, but also probably consistently running for his life.

Code Name: Doc (DISAVOWED)
File Name, Greer, Carl W.
Primary Military Specialty: Medical Doctor
Secondary Military Specialty: Chaplain's Assistant
Birthplace: Concord, Massachusetts
Grade: 0-3 (Captain)

Subject begrudgingly accepted early retirement with the disbandment of the GI Joe Unit. He is, of all the disavowed Joes, perhaps the one who followed the path most likely: he was swiftly offered a role as Chief of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and began teaching part-time at Harvard Medical School. He is a minor thorn in the side of the Lewis administration as an outspoken advocate for universal healthcare, and considered a flight risk as he prepares to do work with Doctors Without Borders, but all of this has also put him in a position too high profile for Lewis to do more than spar with him on policy. It is our belief that Greer will be the first man disavowed Joes turn to if they are injured in their covert anti-government activities, and so he remains under constant surveillance.

"Never piss off a pacificist. Doc's whole thing is putting people back together again. He wants to put a bandage around the world. And he sees so much pain right now, and he's as angry as I've ever seen him. Would we rather have him there to patch us up as we make our moves against Lewis? Yeah. Yeah, I always felt safer knowing Doc was there to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. But he's fighting his own kind of fight, in his own kind of way, elbow-deep in blood, saving lives. That's what Doc was put on this Earth to do. But we also know if one of us was in deep trouble, if we need someone who can pull us back from the brink of death... he'll be there for us. He always has been the best of us."
