Goes to show you, never trust anyone named Mayhem.
~ Miles Mayhem

Miles Mayhem is the cruel, aggressive leader of a deadly terrorist organization named V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem). He is the main antagonist of the M.A.S.K. franchise.

Biography[]

In the comics, he betrayed the original M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) team by killing Andy Trakker, Matt Trakker's brother who had founded the team and stealing half of the masks for evil purposes that formed his organization. In the cartoon, the origin of V.E.N.O.M. is a lot less clear, though Mayhem's connections to M.A.S.K. remain the same as the comics, and that he co-created the organization.

During the series, Mayhem, as leader of V.E.N.O.M., initiates several schemes to either become rich or to acquire more power. Naturally, these schemes always fail due to the interference of M.A.S.K or the incompetence of his minions. However, he always manages to get away, allowing him to think up new evil schemes. He primarily pilots Switchblade; an attack helicopter that converts into a fighter jet. Sometimes, he co-pilots Outlaw, which is an oil truck that deploys into a mobile base.

In the second season, known as the Racing Series, Mayhem works with his twin brother Maximus Mayhem, competing against M.A.S.K. The two brothers pilot Buzzard, an F1 race car that transforms into two motorcycles and a flying autonomous drone.

Mentioned in the 2008 file card of "Specialist Trakker" for G.I. Joe's recent line of toys, Miles Mayhem is an operative for COBRA, with V.E.N.O.M. being a technology and weapons research branch and mercenary army

Personality[]

Miles Mayhem is a domineering, greedy and egotistical man. Many of his schemes involve gaining riches by endangering the general populace. Mayhem also shows little patience for his henchmen, frequently berating them when they don't operate to his standards. Mayhem's biggest flaw seems to be his cowardice. Whenever things don't go his way due to the interference of M.A.S.K, he always flees the scene.

He does, however, feel some obligation to help his minions escape whenever M.A.S.K is winning, as he allows them to climb aboard Switchblade when their own vehicles are too damaged to flee the scene.

Appearance[]

Miles Mayhem with Viper Mask2

Miles Mayhem is a heavyset elderly man with short gray hair, thick spiky eyebrows, and a thick mustache. He typically wears a standard military outfit befitting someone with his rank, resembling a general or high commanding officer from the US army.

When donning his intimidating viper mask, his outfit remains unchanged but some armor connected to the mask is added on top.

Powers and Abilities[]

His main mask is Viper that spits out corrosive poison and pilots Switchblade, a helicopter that can transform into a jet plane.

He also has a Python mask that fires a gripping wire when he sometimes co-drives Outlaw, an oil tanker that transformers into a mobile equipment and weapons system.

While driving Buzzard in the second season, Mayhem wears the Flexor mask, that allows him to generate forcefields.

Apart from his masks, Mayhem is also an extraordinary pilot, as he expertly pilots his vehicle in both helicopter and jet mode, as well as steering it into caves and other small tunnels.
