| A master of both psychological warfare and hand-to-hand combat, Big Brawler has engaged in top secret operations against despots and terrorists worldwide. When it became evident that most of the world's terrorist activities were orchestrated by COBRA, Big Brawler transferred from Army Intelligence to the G.I. Joe team. He now takes his battle directly to the snake pits, while acting as liaison to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). He has a natural ability to persevere in the adverse conditions of the world's jungles, in ways that Tarzan himself would be envious of. Big Brawler has refused all officer-level promotions, preferring to remain on the front lines where the real action takes place. Despite his superior intelligence-gathering and infiltration skills, Big Brawler is quick-tempered and can't resist the urge to pound any COBRA on sight. Since his first mission, when he was only supposed to take photos of a secret spy headquarters but "improvised" and blew up the island instead, he has been regarded as a loose cannon. Good thing he's a G.I. Joe - he's too dangerous to be anything else. | |

| A master of both psychological warfare and hand-to-hand combat, BIG BRAWLER has engaged in top secret operations against despots and criminals worldwide. When it became evident that most of the world's nefarious activities were orchestrated by COBRA, BIG BRAWLER transferred from Army Intelligence to the G.I. JOE team. He now takes his battle directly to the snake pits, while acting as liaison to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). He has a natural ability to persevere in the adverse conditions of the world's jungles. BIG BRAWLER has refused all officer-level promotions, preferring to remain on the front lines where the real action takes place. "I'll gather the intel as specified in my mission, but while I'm there, I might as well pound some sense into a COBRA or two!" | |

| BIG BRAWLER started out in Army Intelligence before he was tapped to join the G.I. JOE team and brought along an impressive catalogue of specialized skills and talents. Equally at home in dense tropical undergrowth as he is in concrete urban badlands, his survival and observation abilities put him on a par with jungle cats and the most feral street criminals. His main annoying trait is his tendency to scarf up junk food when he gets back from long jungle missions and has to work twice as hard to burn it off. Totally proficient in small arms, squad-level infantry weapons and most platoon support weapons, BIG BRAWLER also holds rank in several obscure martial arts disciplines. He has always maintained, however, that his chief weapon is his mind. Trained as a psychologist and having participated in several military psychological operations, he knows that as good as you are with a weapon, you can't win a fight unless you can think three moves ahead of your opponent, and then have a surprise for him! "Never start a fight you can't finish, never drink water that a purification tablet won't dissolve in, and always brush your teeth when you're in the jungle!" | |
