Profile:

Cobra Medi-Viper troopers are the battlefield medics for the Cobra infantry. Their work is basically repair-and-recycle; in other words, tend to the wounded so that they can be returned to battle as quickly as possible. Despite their grunt-level status, they are skilled medics capable of effective triage and front line treatment. When needed, the Medi-Viper troops are also required to join the main infantry forces to battle the enemy.

The potential Medi-Vipers are picked from members of various Cobra Viper forces who have demonstrated an aptitude in the medical field. They are sent to either the states or even Swiss Medical schools to develop their skills further, all paid through the Extensive Enterprises directed by the Crimson Twins Tomax and Xamot, so that it cannot be traced back to Cobra.

Personal comments:

This is one of my very earliest figures, either number three or four in the line of customs that I've made over the years, and I feel it is time that I presented it. Naturally it is all based after the Medi-Viper shown in # 139 of the Marvel comics, where he instantly fell to my liking. After all: even evil forces need medical treatments. The first half of the profile is taken from the file-card of the recent released Medi-Vipers, adapted to my own liking. I have skipped Scalpel all over, because I don't like him - he has no place in my G.I. Joe universe. And I've also described a little how I think Medi-Vipers get their training. I believe that the Extensive Enterprises is mainly responsible for most transactions through the world made by Cobra.
