Copperhead

Copperhead is a Cobra operative and expert water moccasin pilot who serves as one of the organization's elite aquatic specialists, using high-speed swamp skimmers to outmaneuver G.I. Joe forces in wetland combat environments.

Slithering out of the Bronze Age in 1983, Copperhead made their mark in the pages of Larry Hama and Herb Trimpe's landmark G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero — one of the most beloved action-adventure franchises in comics history. A fixture on the opposing side of the battlefield, this character keeps dangerous company indeed, sharing pages with the likes of Cobra Commander and Destro while clashing with Joe stalwarts Scarlett and Clayton M. Abernathy across titles including G.I. Joe and Action Force Monthly. With over four decades of publication history stretching from 1983 all the way to 2025, Copperhead is a testament to the enduring pull of the G.I. Joe universe and the richly populated rogues' gallery that makes it so compelling. If you're building out your knowledge of the franchise's deeper bench, this is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
