## Biography

### Cobra Dictatorship over America

On June 23, 2023, G.I. Steve was visited by G.I. Joe Agents Flint, Lady Jaye, and Lady Kaye. Steve refused to help them retake the United States from Cobra, and was told that he was a disgrace to his family. He then talked to his caretaker, Mercy Gale, about what to do. He then decided to help the Joes, but decided to get his muscles back first. He was told by Mercy that there is a way to get his muscles back, and the Machien to do so was in Concord, New Hampshire. After having trouble getting into the car, Steve was driven to Concord by Mercy.

The Next Day on June 24, Steve arrived in Concord. When Mercy distracted the guards to a secure facility, Steve broke in and tried to make his way to the Machine's chamber, while being spied on by security guards through cameras. He eventually made his way to the chamber, and had to face a few guards to get in. After getting in, he was reunited with Mercy, who then activated the machine and Steve's fat began to turn into muscle. After the process was complete, he ordered all personnel in the facility to let him and Mercy go. Upon leaving the Facility, Steve told Mercy that they're heading to Calgary, Alberta. *G.I. Steve*

On July 1, Steve and Mercy had arrived in Calgary, where Steve introduced himself to Big Ben's group of Joes. He then told Big Ben that he ran into Flint's Family the previous month. Hours later, Steve gave a speech to his allies about How they allowed for Cobra to take over, and how they were going to liberate the U.S. from Cobra.

A Couple of Days Later on July 3 after Flint and Lt. Falcon fought each other, Steve told Flint that he changed his mind and decided to join G.I. Joe. He gave another speech about launching Operation: Fire Age. After Zartan attacked, G.I. Steve had disappeared. *Operation: Fire Age*After Cobra fled with their quarry, Steve helped pull Flint out of the wreckage of his car and spoke to him about what to do, before deciding to head to Regina.

The Next Day on July 4, Steve arrived with Flint and demanded that someone heal his arm. He then watched as Breaker attempted to fix Flint's arm, before being reunited with Sgt. Slaughter. He was then told to head to Sudbury, Canada.

A Few Days later on July 7, G.I. Steve arrived in Sudbury, and was saluted by several Joes and 200 Canadian Soldiers. *A Cold Lie*

Weeks later on July 21, G.I. Steve watched as Sgt. Slaughter trained the 200 Canadian Soldiers, who were nicknamed "The Screaming Eagles". After speaking to Sgt. Jackhammer, he was given a file by Breaker and discovered that the captured Joes were sentenced to be executed the next day. He summoned Big Ben, Roadblock, Clutch, and Cross Country and ordered them to rescue the captured Joes.

Early on July 22, Steve travelled to Niagara Falls, where he reunited with his father, G.I. Willy. He then informed General Hawk on who truly saved Operation: Fire Age, before listening to his speech about Retaking the United States from Cobra. *Fangs in the Dark Part 1*Later that Day, Steve listened to General Hawk's plans to attack Washington. He eventually joined his fellow Joes on the First Attack to Washington. *Fangs in the Dark Part 2*

### Hunting Cobra

On July 24, Steve informed Flint that he was needed in Belarus, before taking over the Mission to rescue the President on Amsterdam "Cobra" Island. He recruited the remaining field Joes in Washington: Lady Jaye, Kaye, Cross Country, Beach Head, Dusty, & Snake Eyes. He ordered Cross Country to fire up a Great White SHARC, before taking off to Cobra Island.

The Next Day on July 25, Steve managed to survive being shot down near Cobra Island, and floated there on a lifeboat, only to be attacked by Mara Dearing. When Mara began dying, he helped his fellow Joes carry her to the water, before infiltrating the Cobra Base. He then led Beach Head, Snake Eyes, and Dusty into finding the President. He encountered Zartan, Firefly, and Major Bludd, and he proceeded to injure Bludd and Firefly. He managed to find and free the President, before being attacked by Mindbender's Meta Soldiers. He reunited with Lady Jaye's team, and was led to a B.A.T. Airship by Mara. He fled with G.I. Joe off of Cobra Island with the help of Dirk Manus and travelled to Bunbury, Australia. There, he contacted G.I. Joe for pick up, and was left frustrated by Shipwreck for leaving his fellow Joes.

A Couple of Days Later on July 27, Steve was present when the President gifted G.I. Joe with the Medal of Honor. *Fangs in the Dark Part 3*
