G.I. Joe

Star Viper is a Cobra space trooper introduced in the G.I. Joe toyline and cartoon series in 1989. He represents Cobra's foray into space combat and orbital operations, serving as a key component of their space-based strategies.

The Star Viper's primary function is to pilot the Cobra Condor Z-25 space shuttle and engage in space-based combat against any opposing forces. He is equipped with specialized armor and life support systems designed for the harsh conditions of outer space.

In terms of background, little is definitively known about the individuals who become Star Vipers. They are generally depicted as highly skilled and dedicated Cobra operatives, rigorously trained to handle the complexities of space travel and combat. Their loyalty to Cobra is unquestioned.

Star Vipers are recognizable by their distinctive blue and silver spacesuits and specialized helmets, allowing them to function effectively in the vacuum of space. Their presence signifies Cobra's ambition to extend its influence beyond the Earth's atmosphere and into the final frontier.
