![]() On their first field assignment, Firewall and Daemon helped drive the vehicle carrying a group of children who were revealed to be the clones of Serpentor. The Joes' convoy of vehicles was unexpectedly attacked by the forces of the revived Serpentor, known at The Coil. The main vehicle was torn to pieces and Serpentor arrived to liberate his brothers inside. When Daemon tried to stop him, the former Cobra Emperor grabbed him by the throat and snapped his neck, killing him, and as Firewall and Roadblock looked on in shock. The remaining Joes were taken prisoner and held on Cobra Island until an invasion force arrived to battle The Coil. The battle was won, and the Joes headed home, later having a ceremony for their lost teammates, who included Mainframe. Firewall later assisted Barrel Roll remotely when he hacked into Cobra Island's computer system. Some time later, during a battle against Cobra, Hawk was shot in the back by Cobra Commander and paralyzed. In Hawk's absence, the Jugglers began to take control of the team to reign in it, if not disband it altogether. Eventually, the team's roster was cut down to only a dozen Joes including Firewall. That small team defended the new Pit against Cobra's attack, but Firewall and most of those Joes were quickly reassigned to other units. After the remaining Joes stopped a plot by Cobra to unleash the weapon known as the Tempest, and defeated a new threat, the Red Shadows, the military again disbanded the team. One year later, the Joe team was reformed with a smaller roster of active members. Firewall, like most former Joes, is a reserve member of the new team. Much of the Joes' current headquarters, The Rock, was designed by Firewall and the late Mainframe. Firewall was called back to work with the team to assist General Colton in his attempt to hack into encrypted files to find Duke's whereabouts. She was still at The Rock when the team was invaded by the Phoenix Guard, a team of U.S. commandos that turned out to be Cobra agents in disguise. The Joes eventually defeated them, but Firewall was severely injured spent time recovering. Some time later, Firewall joined an unauthorized mission to capture the drug kingpin known as Headman. Many years earlier, a small team of Joes that included Mainframe had failed to capture Headman. When the surviving members of that team set out to finally get Headman, Firewall came along in her late mentor's place. During the conflict known as World War III, a Cobra attack forced Firewall and other Joes to abandon The Rock and set up a small base of operations in a cabin in Idaho. Eventually, Firewall worked with Sparks and Destro find away to disable Cobra's advanced technology through the satellite network of M.A.R.S. Their efforts helped defeat Cobra and bring the war to an end. (GIv2 3, 4, 10, 16, 22-26, 29, 37, 38, 40; FL 15, 18; AE 15, 19, 20, 31, 32, 34-36; SM:B) |
