Who is Wildcard?

Wildcard is a member of the G.I. Joe team, the elite special-operations unit dedicated to combating the terrorist organization Cobra. He operates alongside fellow Joes including Lady Jaye, Lt. Falcon, and Rock 'n Roll.

Wildcard burst onto the scene in 1988, a Copper Age creation of the legendary Larry Hama and Ron Wagner, debuting in the pages of Marvel's G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero — one of the most beloved action-adventure franchises in comics history. Sharing panels with the likes of Lady Jaye, Lt. Falcon, and Rock 'n Roll, this character keeps impressive company among some of the Joe universe's most recognizable faces. The fact that Wildcard's adventures have been collected and revisited across Classic G.I. Joe trade paperbacks and multiple series iterations speaks to the enduring appeal of this era's storytelling. A true find for dedicated Joe completists, Wildcard is one of those catalog gems that rewards the fan who digs deeper into the roster.
