Letal

"You will never know what hit you - unless I want you to live to tell the tale!"

The mysterious COBRA LETAL is the commander of the South American unit of FRAG-VIPERS. He is a superb chess player and guides his troops with the same tactical efficiency of moving pawns into dominating positions around the board. He fights alongside them with an array of weapons chosen to best thwart any dominating military force. His pinpoint accuracy with a bazooka can easily destroy enemy tanks, and the hail of bullets from his sub-machine gun can compel even the bravest of infantry to retreat.

As part of the COBRA Demolitions Team, he uses the FRAG-VIPERS to spearhead assaults that destroy enemy installations, armored vehicles, emplacements, weapons, and personnel, or to weaken their fortifications. This makes it easier for CRIMSON ASP to carry out her sabotage operations for COBRA MORTAL.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Cobra's "grenade throwers". Frag-Vipers use a special manual hurling basket (based on the cesta from the sport Jai Alai) to launch grenades used normally in grenade launchers. This eliminates the sound and light of a firearm's muzzle flash, allowing the Frag-Vipers to stay out of sight. Their helmets include an automatic range-finder. G.I. Joe first encountered Frag-Vipers during a rescue mission in Rio Lindo, the capital of Sierra Gordo.

MUX History:
"A G.I. Joe armed with a M-203 40mm grenade luncher can manage a firing rate of five rounds-per-minute and as soon as he pops the first round, everybody and his uncle knows where he is. A Frag-Viper, with a fifty round magazine and automatic feeder, can deliver fifteen rounds-per-minute and you'll never have any idea where they're coming from!"

Frag-Vipers report to Cobra Letal.

OOC Notes
Letal is available on the MUX as an FC. This character is based on Letal, from Plastirama's G.I. Joe line from Argentina.
