Who is Scrap-Iron?

Scrap-Iron is a Cobra specialist and one of the organization's premier anti-armor experts, deploying remote-controlled rockets and missiles against G.I. Joe forces. His technical mastery of armor-defeating weaponry makes him a dangerous adversary on the battlefield.

Scrap-Iron is a Bronze Age villain who made his mark when Larry Hama and Herb Trimpe introduced him in the pages of G.I. Joe Yearbook #1 in 1985, dropping him straight into one of Marvel's most beloved military action universes. Over four decades of publication β€” a testament to real staying power in a crowded field β€” he's kept dangerous company alongside the likes of Destro, Cobra Commander, and Snake-Eyes, the kind of roster that tells you everything about the high-stakes world he inhabits. With a collector-significant key issue to his name and appearances stretching all the way to 2025 across multiple G.I. Joe series under Devil's Due Publishing and beyond, Scrap-Iron is the sort of deep-cut antagonist that rewards the dedicated fan who goes looking past the headliners.
