| - A former gang leader, STALKER joined the military to perfect the deadly arts he learned on the streets of Detroit. He graduated at the top of his class in Basic Combat Training and Advanced Infantry Training. He also trained at the U.S. Army Language School and the Intelligence School. Before joining G.I. Joe as one of its original 13 members, Stalker served as a member of a LRRP (Long Range Recon Patrol) with Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow in southeast Asia during Vietnam. Stalker has been strike team leader on more missions than anyone else. He functions well under high stress situations. He is intelligent and perceptive. He moves like a jungle cat – silent, fast, and strong. It seems like he almost knows what his opponents are going to do before they do. This makes him the perfect assassin, toying with his victims before coldly dispatching them at last. Stalker also loves to fly, and is a helicopter pilot, a qualified jump instructor, and a JUMP jetpack operator. He is fluent in Spanish, French, Arabic and Swahili. Stalker is also proficient with just about every military firearm, but is most skilled with: M-14; M-16; M-1911A1 (Auto-Pistol); M-3A1 Grease Gun; and the M-32 "Pulverizer" Sub-Machine Gun. Because of his lethal skills and psychotic efficiency, he has become one of President Colton’s favorite tools for eliminating dissidents. Stalker has a drug-addiction problem he's dealt with since his teen years, that's only gotten worse in Vietnam and since. He thinks he has it under control, but it often affects his capabilities and judgment.
