Crystal Ball

Crystal Ball is a Cobra operative and hypnotist who serves as one of the organization's more eccentric agents, using his alleged psychic and mesmerism abilities to manipulate enemies of Cobra.

Emerging from the pages of The G.I. Joe Order of Battle #3 in 1987, Crystal Ball is a Copper Age figure woven into the sprawling, action-packed world of G.I. Joe — a universe populated by heavy hitters like Cobra Commander, Destro, and Xamot. Catalogued across an impressive stretch from 1987 to 2022, this character has maintained a presence in the IDW corner of the G.I. Joe mythos, appearing in flagship titles like G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and the eye-popping G.I. Joe in 3-D. For collectors who love digging into the deeper roster of one of comics' most beloved military franchises, Crystal Ball is one of those intriguing figures worth tracking down.
