| NAPOLEON. One of ten clones created by
Dr. Mindbender when trying to create Serpentor, named for Napoleon Bonaparte.
The nine young clones would grow at a slower rate than normal, and Mindbender
nearly abandoned them once he perfected the process to create the mature
clone that became Serpentor, but instead placed them in stasis and left
them alive unbeknownst to Cobra Commander. Each clone was the amalgamation
of history's greatest soldiers. After the defeat of Cobra in the 1995,
the U.S. government raided Mindbender's secret lab on Cobra Island and
recovered the clone children. They were placed in foster care until Serpentor
and Dr. Mindbender gathered them in secrecy. All the children joined Serpentor
on Cobra Island during a battle between his forces and Cobra and G.I. Joe.
After the battle, Napoleon and the other boys were again placed in the
care of the government. (GIv2 24, 25) |
| NIKITA, COLONEL. A former agent of the
KGB. Years after the fall of the Soviet Union, Nikita hired mercenary Major
Bludd. (GIv2 5) |
 NUNCHUK.
The
code name used by U.S. Army Sergeant Ralph Baducci. Nunchuk was born in
Brooklyn, New York, and eventually made his way to Denver, where he was
trained in the martial arts with the Blind Master. He later moved to San
Francisco and enrolled in the Arashikage Martial Arts Academy. He caught
the eye of Storm Shadow, who then continued the training begun by the Blind
Master. Years later, Storm Shadow recruited Nunchuk for the G.I. Joe team's
Ninja Force. On Ninja Force's first mission, Nunchuk and his teammates
Dojo and Tj'bang fought Cobra Night Creepers in Beirut while helping Destro
to avoid assassins hired by Cobra Commander. Continuing their protection
of Destro, the Ninja Force and other Joes traveled to the Silent Castle
in Trans-Carpathia, where they fought Cobra Vipers and a group of Red Ninjas.
It was the Ninja Force who discovered Firefly's connection to the Arashikage
ninjas when the mercenary appeared in command of the Red Ninjas. The team
later helped liberate the Cobra-controlled town of Millville from Cobra,
fighting a band of Night Creepers. Shortly before the G.I. Joe team was
shut down, Nunchuk and the Ninja Force opened up a martial arts training
school on the site of the Soft Master's restaurant where Nunchuk's teammate
Dojo had been trained many years before. The school was free to the underpriviledged
young people living in the neighborhood. In the years after the Joe team was
disbanded, helped Snake-Eyes train
young Sean Collins aka Kamaura as a ninja apprentice. (GI 117, 118, 120-124, 126, 128-131, 135-137, 140, 141, 144, 145; MA 1, 2, 4; Figures: 1, 2, 3, 4) |
