Customizer's Comments:
With this custom I tried to play up the Robin Hood angle of the original Hunter's bio, hence the hood instead of a helmet and the Air Devil arms which, although you can't see them, have laces on the sides of the biceps. The Light Infantryman part, however, came from the Rock Viper torso and Stretcher waist.

Bio: With the defeat of the Red Shadows in the mid-eighties, the fall of the Soviet Union in the late-eighties/early nineties, and the defeat of Cobra in 1994, the members of the world's three greatest defense forces: Europe's Action Force, Russia's Oktober Guard, and the United States of America's G.I. Joe team were all disbanded. With the resurgence of Cobra in 2001 and the war on terrorism, the G.I. Joe team was reinstated and members of the team's counterparts found their way to the Joes.

Hunter could be discribed as a modern-day Robin Hood. In his native Mexico, Hunter stole from the rich and gave to the poor same as the bandit of legend, and, also similar to Robin Hood, was eventually saved from capture and death by a powerful force. In Robin Hood's case, it was the Queen, but in Hunter's case it was that he was given asylum by Action Force. As part of Action Force, Hunter drove a Wolverine missile tank, the same model of armor driven by Cover Girl of the G.I. Joe team at that time. In addition to his Armor skills, during the time between Action Force's disbandment and G.I. Joe's reinstatement Hunter refined the skills that had once made him a prince of thieves into what is easiest discribed as light infantryman training. As part of Action Force Hunter earned his parole and pardon from his 'crimes' and no longer is forced to wear his mask to hide his identity, but, like fellow former AF member Nightstalker and G.I. Joe teammates Snake-Eyes, Beachhead and Kamakura, feels more comfortable wearing it than without.

"Don't let the fact that Hunter's got an easy-going nature and is more worried about others than himself fool you, he's not that bad a shot with anything; a Wolverine's missiles, an M-16, or even that bow he sometimes carries to play up the whole 'Robin Hood' thing. Now if we could only stop him from singing Waylon Jenning's 'Good Old Boys' all the time..." -- Major John T. Magnus, codename: "Turbo."
