Fast Blast Viper

Armed with specially designed battlefield bazookas, Fast Blast Vipers are deployed to lead an attack with only one objective-destroy G. I. Joe. Each one is trained to withstand excruciating battlefield conditions and obey every order from COBRA Commander. To make them more formidable, Fast Blast Vipers have a computer chip implanted at the base of their skulls to neutralize any fear-like emotional response to attack, while enhancing their aggressive tendencies. As if they need a push in that direction! In any situation, these guys area nightmare . . . with bazookas!

Destro

The faceless power behind the largest manufacturer of weapons technology, not much is known about Destro other than his reputation for anything at a price. Power is the name of his game and he plays to win-every time. Wherever there's a battle brewing, there's Destro. In fact, he'll incite a battle where one doesn't exist just to further his cause. Doesn't mind getting into the thick of it himself, if it'll turn a profit. Hard to believe anyone could be that diabolical. Anyone but Destro, that is. The silver battle mask he wears into battle is a family tradition and one he displays with pride. Makes you wonder what those folks talked about at the holiday dinner table! The only thing more apparent than his love of cash is his hatred for G. I. Joe. He respects them for their combat skills and expertise on the battlefield, but finds their methods worthless and wasteful in the pursuit of peace. He's cold, calculating, ruthless, and despicable-and those are his better qualities.
