Knockdown

Knockdown burst onto the scene in 1988 — right in the thick of G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero's celebrated run — debuting in issue #75, a landmark moment in the series brought to life by the legendary Larry Hama alongside artist Marshall Rogers. A Copper Age creation published under Marvel, this character has kept remarkable company over the decades, sharing pages with the likes of Blocker, Mutt, Zarana, and Avalanche across a mythos that has proven astonishingly durable, stretching all the way to 2025. With appearances collected in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Compendium, Knockdown is one of those intriguing figures from a beloved franchise that rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into the deeper roster of one of comics' most action-packed universes.
