Wild Weasel (G.I. Joe)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wild Weasel is a fictional character appearing in the G.I. Joe series and comic-books. He's a member of COBRA and pilot of the COBRA Rattler. He uses a red flight suit with a helmet that hides his face.

[edit] Character

Wild Weasel is an ace pilot who has never been seen outside of his flight suit. He is arrogant to a fault, favoring the Rattler ground support jet. The pilots of G.I. Joe hate him as a person, but respect him as a pilot. Wild Weasel does not have friends, even among the ranks of COBRA. The reason for this is that he only talks about jets and motor parts, something that the other COBRA members find boring. Wild Weasel doesn't realize this and thinks that everyone avoids him because they fear him.

Wild Weasel had, in both the comic book and cartoons, a rivalry with the Skystriker pilot "Ace" (both characters were voiced by Pat Fraley). This rivalry began with one of the Rattler's earliest appearances in the comic book, issue #34 ("Shake Down!"), when Wild Weasel ambushes Ace, initiating a dog fight over suburban New Jersey.

In G.I. Joe: America's Elite it has been revealed that Phoenix Guard member Halo is really Wild Weasel.
