History

Robert S. Savage was born in Albany, New York in 1924. He joined the Army during WWII, ready to fight the good fight. He’s a light infantry commander trained for air assault operations, and has survived countless battles.

As an antitank gunner in Tunisia, he earned the Silver Star after he jumped into a burning ammunition-filled halftrack, drove it away from allied soldiers and leapt to safety just before the vehicle exploded. Not long after, he shot down a German Messerschmitt Me-109 fighter that was strafing Allied troops. Sgt. Savage, who was firing from machine guns mounted on a halftrack, hit the pilot through the windshield.

In 1944, Savage's Eagles participated in D-Day. Later in 1944, Sgt. Robert Steven Savage, the US Army’s most decorated soldier, led a covert mission behind enemy lines. Savage was betrayed by one of his own men, Garrison Kreiger, and was captured. During his capture, Savage’s body was experimented on and then he was cryogenically frozen. 50 years later, in 1994, the GI Joe team found the secret bunker where Savage’s body was kept. When they revived him, they found the genetic alterations and DNA formula he was given in the 1940s maintained his youth, but also gave him super strength. In the present day, General Hawk gave him command of a rowdy bunch of recruits, which Savage trained up and calls The Savage Eagles.
