Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books, and animated series.

Gung-Ho was born as part of a large Cajun clan, in the fictional Fer-de-Lance, Louisiana.

He eventually relocated to New Orleans, earning a reputation as a bare-knuckle brawler and knife fighter.

After the team was temporarily disbanded and reinstated, Gung-Ho was offered a position as a field commander.

His expertise in the swamps of Louisiana helped him lead a mission to invade and shut down the Dreadnok compound in the Florida Everglades.

[9] A new version of Gung-Ho was released as an action figure in 1993, as commander of the "Mega Marines" subset.

[11] In 2004, he was released as part of the Toys R Us exclusive "Desert Patrol Squad" set, which also included the figures Ambush, Dusty, Snake Eyes, Stalker and Tunnel Rat.

Joe: A Real American Hero #11 (May 1983) where it was revealed that he has a kid sister who is a successful child model.

In the same issue, he helps defeat Cobra forces who were spreading a plague and stealing valuable radioactive materials.

The Baroness almost kills his entire group with a bombing run from a Rattler but they escape unharmed.

The Baroness also bombs a nearby island, making the Joes think they just witnessed the death of Snake Eyes.

[15] An attempt at relaxation leads Gung-Ho and Blowtorch to confront Crimson Guardsmen at a local fair.

They go through multiple incidents of trouble such as almost being caught by Iron Grenadiers and taking over Cobra's air traffic control tower.

[17] In the Action Force comic line, Gung-Ho is badly wounded by Storm Shadow during a confrontation in a Cobra base.

[20] Gung-Ho then joins in on the attack on the multi-Cobra force stationed in the Dreadnoks complex in the Florida Everglades.

He was voiced by Chris Latta in a southern accent, despite the fact that he is of French Cajun ancestry.

Gung-Ho comes into conflict with Guard member Horrorshow, with whom he trades insults, but they put aside their differences and work together against Cobra.
