MERCENARY WRAITH was known for years by the G.I. JOE team and the COBRA organization. Each group hoped that the skilled spy and fighter would choose to join them. In the end, DESTRO was the only one who discovered what MERCENARY WRAITH truly lived for: chaos and destruction. MERCENARY WRAITH doesn't care about causes or sides, right or wrong; he cares only about the next mission or battle, the next chance to cause harm. Using stolen technology, he acquired a stealth assault suit that makes him virtually invisible. He is protected from weapons fire by impenetrable ceramic plates and is an expert marksman with the built-in forearm cannons. The only flaw in the suit is that an outline of him can be seen if he moves to fast, but by then he is so close to his target that you only get a quick, shadowy glimpse before MERCENARY WRAITH makes his move.
"Do you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you, even when no one is in sight? That creeping feeling on the back of your neck could be telling you that I am next to you, ready to strike."
Toy Notes: Item #34121. The hoses linking the forearm cannons to the upper arms are very fragile.

Toy Notes: A deliberate "chase" figure shipped alongside version 1 but in low quantities. Item #34121. The hoses linking the forearm cannons to the upper arms are very fragile.
