Ever since he was very young, Ace had a passion for flying and worked part time jobs for flying lessons. He served in the United States Air Force and became one of their best pilots. Because of his abilities, he was chosen to serve in the elite group of G.I. Joe. He also has a predilection for gambling but his superiors always look the other way, thanks to his flying skills. His teammates, though, argue if he is ever truly gambling as they have never ever seen him lose.

Brad J. Armbruster was born in Montreal, Canada.[3] He was part of a team who flew to the Amazonian Jungle to destroy a Cobra supply base. During the mission the Skystriker came under attack from Cobra F.A.N.G.s and the engines failed but Ace was able to refire them in air then destroy the base. On the way back to the U.S.S. Flagg the Skystriker was running out of fuel and the engines failed on arrival but Ace was able to land on the deck with only one wheel destroyed.[4] He subsequently fast flew Sci-Fi from Germany to the United Kingdom to deal with a Cobra bomb planted on Tower Bridge in London.[5] Ace and Lady Jaye were later part of a training mission in Norway that was attacked by Rattlers and a Night Raven. All the Cobra planes were shot down but it was unclear which Joe got the kill on the Night Raven.[6]
