Notes: DiC switched the names of Slice and Dice: The character wearing Slice's 1992 outfit is called Dice the only time his name is given, and the character with Dice's appearance is called Slice on two occasions. The numbers above reflect the character in Slice's red uniform. (In one shot, he has his mask raised and is seen to have a thin moustache.)
The Reel FX films gave Slice a uniform based loosely on the 2004 version but colored purple, and he was consistently paired with the character Slash.

| Captured COBRA documents indicate that COBRA SLICE may be a renegade ninja from the same clan as STORM SHADOW. It is believed that COBRA SLICE created his own evil sword technique by observing the battle strategies of scorpions and adapting the movements into a backhand sword slash that he calls the "Scorpion Slash." He's an expert with all edged weapons, small hand guns, and explosives, and he works with the other COBRA ninjas to form assault teams. COBRA SLICE is usually found in his martial arts studio, practicing his already perfect moves. He was humiliated when he fought SURE FIRE from the G.I. Joe team—and lost. He lives for the day when he'll meet SURE FIRE again, and this time he'll teach him a lesson he won't forget. "I fear no mortal man in face-to-face combat, but my sword cuts easiest from behind." | |

| Version 5: May 2004 Valor vs. Venom Wave 3 figure two-pack assortment | |
|---|---|
| COBRA Ninja COBRA Slice | |
|
|
| Accessories: two black knives (03 Over Kill's), black sword (92 T'Jbang's), red headband with long ends (new). | |
| Intelligence sources indicate that COBRA SLICE came to the COBRA organization through the criminal underworld and may have had connections to various secret police forces in fallen dictatorships. He may have also been a professional wrestler at one time and certainly had enough of a martial arts background to warrant recruitment into a COBRA ninja unit headed by STORM SHADOW. Although he can't quite grasp the finer points of what STORM SHADOW has to teach him, COBRA SLICE is an attentive, overly competitive pupil who makes up for his lack of surgical precision with raw strength. He is all about massive brutal power directed by evil intent. STORM SHADOW is smart enough to know that one needs a Goliath as well as a David in one's lineup. Not all tactical problems can be solved by stealth and deception. When COBRA SLICE jumps into a fight, he isn't thinking out strategy a half dozen moves ahead, he's just aiming for your head and putting all his weight behind the punch. "Somebody's technique doesn't count for much once they step within my reach." | |
| Toy Notes: Carded in a two-pack with Agent Jinx. Item #55965. This version is specially consructed for a spring-loaded Action Attack move. | |
