- Ambush is a G.I. Joe character from the A Real American Hero series.
As the Joe Team's resident concealment specialist, Ambush prefers to work alone. Few could reach his level of sneakiness and camouflage technique. Anyone else who goes with him will just give his position away. He honed his skills since he was a little boy that by age ten, he is able to put up a convincing camouflage for his hiding place. A simple game of hide-and-seek turned into an incident that caught the attention of the National Guard.
