Skull Buster worked his way up
through the ranks of the Range-Vipers to be their commander in 2002 by being
twice as mean and three times as nasty as the rest. He feels he is the
ultimate survivor; there is no creature that crawls, slithers, or scuttles on
six legs that he will not cheerfully dine upon. Skull Buster actually
thinks of himself as the predator at the top of the food chain. In spite
of this attitude, he does have a practical side. Taped to the inside of
his locker door is a picture of G.I. Joe members, inscribed with these words,
"Know your enemy."
Like
the rest of the Range-Vipers, Skull Buster expects to operate behind enemy
lines without communications or supplies. Trained to live off the land,
his only source of ammunition is whatever he captures from the enemy.
This makes him extremely resourceful and tenacious. One squad of
Range-Vipers made it through their survival course by gnawing on a carcass
that had already been picked clean by vultures and jackals. Skull Buster
would have eaten the vultures and jackals.
Skull
Buster wears the same uniform type as the rest of the Range-Vipers and 2000
deployment of Rock Vipers, but in oddly more
visible colors. This, however, apparently has not appeared to affect his combat
capabilities. Skull Buster has not yet been deployed outside of the United
States since his commission as Range-Viper commander in 2002.
