Wild Weasel is one of few Cobra pilots who have managed to gain attention by nothing more than his skill with fighter planes. He may have a nasty reputation for being a backshooter and fighting dirty but even G.I. Joe's pilots had to respect his piloting abilities. As a natural troublemaker, he has a habit of pulling pranks on his fellow Cobra pilots just as much as he gives the G.I. Joe Team something to worry about.
He learned his flying skills by piloting any aircraft he could lay his hands on. From jury-rigged machines to civilian aircrafts to sophisticated weapons platforms, if it can fly, he's flown it. Wild Weasel earned the reputation he has now in the bush wars of South America and Africa. He has a sibilance in his speech pattern, often rumored to be the result of an injury during a strafing run.

Wild Weasel first encounters the Joe team when he is ordered by the Baroness to track down Cobra Commander. His partner is Firefly. Together they confront several Joes in in the Florida swamps and deal with Zartan.
Wild Weasel is called up to sit upon the mock trial of Billy. The boy, the son of Cobra Commander, had tried to kill his own father.
Wild Weasel had a rivalry with the Skystriker pilot Ace. This rivalry began with one of the Rattler's earliest appearances in the comic book, issue #34 (Shake Down!), when Wild Weasel ambushes Ace (and co-pilot Lady Jaye), initiating a dog fight over suburban New Jersey.
Later, Wild Weasel leads a group of Python Patrol Conquest Fighters against a team of Joe members in the skies over the fictional Central American country of Punta del Mucosa. He is shot down by the Joe pilot Dogfight. He survives and continues to work for Cobra until they seemingly disband.
[edit] Devil's Due Comics continuity
For a period of about seven years, both Cobra and G.I.Joe are inoperative. G.I.Joe reforms in response to signs of Cobra activity.
In G.I. Joe: America's Elite #17 it is revealed that Phoenix Guard member Halo is really Wild Weasel; the Guard manage to kill dozens of Joe support team officers. Wild Weasel is wounded by [[Duke (RAH)|Duke] and taken into custody in #18. In #31, it is revealed that he has been held in the maximum security prison called "The Coffin", located in Greenland, and is one of several operatives who escaped during a raid in #30.
