Tunnel Rat

Tunnel Rat is a G.I. Joe operative who first appeared in Marvel's G.I. Joe Order of Battle #2 in 1987. A skilled combat engineer specializing in underground warfare, he serves as the team's expert at navigating and clearing tunnels and confined spaces behind enemy lines.

Few characters capture the gritty, boots-on-the-ground spirit of the G.I. Joe universe quite like Tunnel Rat, who tunneled his way into comics with a 1987 debut in The G.I. Joe Order of Battle #2 — right in the heart of the Copper Age, when Marvel's Real American Hero franchise was at the peak of its cultural power. Over nearly four decades of publication, he's held his own across multiple G.I. Joe series, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Flint, Lady Jaye, and Hawk. That kind of enduring presence alongside the franchise's most iconic figures speaks to a character who genuinely belongs in the thick of the action, and for collectors who love the deep bench of the Joe roster, Tunnel Rat is exactly the kind of find worth digging for.
