Born with a natural talent for mimicry, AGENT FACES amused his fellow recruits during basic training with his uncanny imitations of the drill sergeants and company cadre. He was doing a brutally accurate impression of the First Sergeant, when that self-same top-kick caught him in the act. Instead of drawing punishment duty, AGENT FACES found himself before an evaluation board and was summarily whisked off to a top-secret intelligence school where they taught him how to sculpt life-like masks, apply make-up, and generally transform himself into whoever he wanted to be. Other infiltrators need a long time to study their subject before they can assume their identities. AGENT FACES needs only a few minutes to become the subject. Being a qualified expert with pistol and commando knife comes in handy if COBRA sees through his deception, but that is rarely the case. His many impersonations have gained the team much valuable information on the enemy—as well as extra leave time when he has impersonated DUKE and signed his own leave request form.
"I'm only successful if I'm undetected. Even if I do get caught out, I can still remain undercover as long as I beat the Cobra who caught me to the draw—and that's a given."

Instead of drawing punishment duty, AGENT FACES found himself before an evaluation board and was whisked off to a top-secret intelligence school where they taught him to sculpt masks, apply makeup, and change himself into whoever he wanted to be. Disguised as a COBRA CRIMSON GUARD, he infiltrated Cobra Mountain as part of a daring mission, working with SHIPWRECK to open the mountain's hangar doors and allow the rest of the G.I. JOE team to storm the stronghold.
