![]() Two Joes disguised themselves as Cobra Vipers and staged an attempted kidnapping, which led to a "rescue" by other Joes. Sturgis awoke in the Pit, where Duke briefed him on the history and status of G.I. Joe and its battle with Cobra. To keep tabs on Sturgis, and to make use of his skills, Duke recruited him and assigned him to a Joe team field office in Reykjavík, Iceland that was essentially a listening post. Under his new code name, Scanner, he oversaw satellite surveillance and other communications monitoring. Later, when the committee of corrupt generals, The Jugglers, tried to reign in and take control of the Joe team is Hawk's absence, rogue agents Duke, Snake-Eyes and Scarlett joined Scanner at the newly-established underground base in the frozen wilderness of Iceland. While they monitored Cobra activity, the mercenary Mikhail Derenko, aka Overlord, infiltrated the base and mortally wounded Scanner. Overlord captured the Joes, but Scanner, with only moments to live, sealed the others in a secure, armored room and set off explosives that killed both Overlord and himself. Much of the base was destroyed, but the other Joes survived. (GIv2 26, 40, 41)
