Character history

Overkill was one of three COBRA™ special operatives who guarded the organizations secret excavation site. They had uncovered a buried place which was codenamed "Greendale" and resembled a Community College. The operation was overseen by the Vice Assistant Cobra Commander. When Xim Xam and Major Dick were talking to the Commander, Overkill flipped into the room. He informed the Vice Commander that Joe's had infiltrated the base. The Vice Commander was in a panic as his three subordinates stated blankly at him awaiting orders. The Commander than pleaded that Overkill and the others protect him.


Overkill was the first to engage the enemy unaware they were actually fugitives from the Joes. He found Wingman, Buzzkill, Fourth Wall, Tight Ship and Three Kids in the school's library. Overkill taunted the intruders before activating a device on his wrist. Multiple holographic versions of Overkill surrounded Wingman and his squad. After a brief discussion, Wingman agreed with Fourth Wall that the real one was in the middle. Wingman shot Overkill in the shin and his holograms disappeared as he collapsed from the wound. Xim Xam appeared but he got shot in the shin as well. The two COBRA™ operatives limped away as Overkill complained about the pain claiming they tire his meniscus ("G.I. Jeff").

Trivia

Homage

  • "Overkill"'s overall appearance is inspired by the G.I.JOE™ character Quick Kick but his personality is perhaps more in line with the character of Storm Shadow who often switched his loyalty from COBRA™ to G.I.JOE™ in various media depicting the ninja master.
  • The gi worn by the Cobra Ki members in the 1984 film "The Karate Kid" was also a possible inspiration for "Overkill"'s appearance.
  • The codename "Overkill" is probably a reference to actor Ken Jeong's over the top comedic performances. In an interview with Coming Soon.net, Jeong mentions his overacting tendencies and overcommitments to roles.
