| ~ Ripper's first line. |
Ripper is a recurring antagonist of the G.I. Joe series, serving as a member of the Dreadnoks (led by Zartan) and a supporter of Cobra Commander of COBRA.
Profile
Ripper was known as Harry Nod who was born in Grim Cape, Tasmania. As a child, Ripper was expelled from nursery school for his mean nature and extorting candy from his classmates. He grew up to be a professional criminal, spending most of his adult life in various correctional institutions, and is motivated by greed for money and a distaste for civilization, though he does love motorcycles in general. He also specializes in edged weapons and cutting tools, and is known throughout the swamps for using his blade like a cross between a fireman's axe and a can opener to unlock gates and crack safes.
