	A sniper needs to control the high ground, but he also has to have the means to get there totally unnoticed. BARREL ROLL uses specially modified COBRA personal gliders combined with COBRA battle armor to penetrate enemy territory. BARREL ROLL jumps from a plane at an extremely high altitude, above enemy radar range, and free falls with an oxygen mask. At the last moment, he deploys his glider system and flies low to the ground below enemy radar until he lands at a suitable position where he digs in and stays motionless for up to three days before he takes his shot. BARREL ROLL has been practicing all his life to be what he is. Even as a kid, he could stay stock still for such long periods of time that teachers would think he was sleeping with his eyes open, until he blinked and faithfully repeated everything that had been discussed in the class. He was a whiz at math, which is essential for calculating trajectories. BARREL ROLL was the absolute best at anything that had to do with accuracy. "With me, it's not so much wanting to hit the bulls-eye as really hating to miss."
Variations: Most copies have a head originally molded in Barrel Roll's skin color; a few heads are painted.

	BARREL ROLL looks totally fearless when he's lining up a shot, but he's the first one to tell you that only fools aren't afraid in a dangerous situation. He just doesn't let his fear have any control over him. His steely nerves allow him to cooly concentrate on the task at hand while mortars are exploding and fighting is raging around him. He bluntly tells you exactly what's on his mind and laces his observations with ample sarcasm. His loyalty runs deep for his team and his sister BOMBSTRIKE. Since his sister's rescue, he has learned of the sinister plans his older brother BLACKOUT and COBRA had in store for her. Now more than ever he means to track down his traitor of a brother and make him pay for his betrayal. "Being big and bad doesn't impress me. Through my scope at 400 yards, everything is small and if I can see you then you might want to duck."
