Bio: Backblast grew up living next to one of the busiest airports in the world. His bedroom was directly under the path of the incoming jets. At night, the landing lights from descending jumbo-jets would shine through his window and the vibrations would shake the pocket change off his dresser. When asked his job preferences upon enlistment, he answered, "Where can I go to shoot airplanes out of the sky?"

"You get your best shot at a ground attack aircraft like Cobra's Rattler when it's coming straight at you. Unfortunately, that's when it's got it's best shot at you also and it's firing everything it's got in your direction. It's the job of the air defense specialist to stand out in the open with his launcher aimed at the oncoming aircraft and wait for the 'target locked' signal so he can fire. I'm glad it's his job and not mine." -- Lieutenant Shuta Go, JSDF (On special assignment to G.I. Joe), codename: "Shooter"
