No man in the Joe Team had to struggle the hardest and the longest to get to where he is today than Major Altitude. Dismissed as too short or too skinny as a kid, he found his calling when he read about the Joe Team on the news. He found a benchmark to reach and go beyond. As soon as he could, he signed up to join the Army. He studied and worked more than any other candidate in the Army Aviation School, eventually reaching the top of his class and become one of the best helicopter pilots. Through it all, he has never quit on any assignment and impressed everyone with his utter determination.
Major Altitude is no genius and he's not the strongest G.I. Joe by any means, but he's certainly the most determined. Every goal he sets for himself, no matter how trivial, is attacked with the same level of intensity. This has made him extremely popular with the other G.I. Joes.
- "Let's face it. If you're pinned down in an inaccessible box canyon by a heavily armed company of Cobra Vipers, wouldn't you prefer it if the guy who was sent to rescue you wasn't a quitter?"
History[]
Pre-MUX History[]
Robert Owens announced his ambition to be a member of the elite G.I. Joe team when he was eleven years old. His parents scoffed, "You're too young, too small, and not even out of school yet!" Determined to fulfill his dream to be a G.I. Joe copter pilot, he wrote to the local Army Recruiting Office to find out education and physical requirements for the G.I. Joe Flight program. He then prepared himself in mind and body for the day he would be a Real American Hero. Eight years later, after finishing at the top of his class in both Aviator School and Flight Warrant Officer School, Major Altitude received his orders to report for duty at G.I. Joe Headquarters.
Shortly after joining G.I. Joe in 1991, Major Altitude was able to commandeer a copy of Interrogator's Battle Copter personal transport, after which both Cobra and G.I. Joe used copies of them before phasing them out in 1993.
Major Altitude served in the Joes until 1994, when he was moved to the reserves.
