Wild Weasel

Wild Weasel is Cobra's elite fighter pilot, a fearless and reckless ace who flies missions too dangerous for ordinary pilots. He serves as the primary airborne threat to the G.I. Joe team, manning Cobra's Rattler ground-attack aircraft.

Few villains in the sprawling G.I. Joe universe have proven as durable as Wild Weasel, who first took flight in the pages of G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero #24 back in 1984, brought to life by the legendary Larry Hama and artist Russ Heath right in the heart of the Bronze Age. Over four decades — from Marvel's original run through crossovers like Transformers / G.I. Joe — this Cobra operative has kept some seriously dangerous company, sharing panels with heavyweights like Cobra Commander, Destro, and the Baroness. Two of those appearances carry key-issue weight with collectors, a testament to the kind of lasting impression Wild Weasel has made on fans who grew up with the franchise. If you're building out your G.I. Joe collection or just want to trace the full rogues' gallery of Cobra, Wild Weasel is absolutely worth tracking down.
