- Major Bludd is a Cobra character from A Real American Hero and G.I. Joe vs. Cobra series.
There are many things that Major Bludd is known for. He is known for his despicability and greed. It is said that he would willingly rent out his grandmother as a tackling dummy. He has a reputation for holding poetry in high regard, if only his poems could also be held in the same standard.
Bludd served in his home country's Special Air Service force where he held the rank of major and then transferred to the French Foreign Legion before becoming embracing the life of a mercenary. He is proficient with explosives, long range sniper rifles and many forms of infantry rifles. He is wanted in three continents for numerous crimes, particularly in the countries of Rhodesia and Libya. He has engaged in assassinations, mercenary infantry and playing the part of advisor to military dictatorships. Bludd is easily identified by his eyepatch and Snidely Whiplash-style mustache.

Bludd very much played the part as Cobra's field commander. He led the assault in destroying Skystrikers at a Joe base and later spearheaded the theft of a spy satellite. He masqueraded as Dr. Vandermeer in an attempt to ambush the Joes and prevent the real doctor from being rescued. In the end, his force is overwhelmed and had to order a retreat.[2] He was next sent to gather the red crystal catalysts from the Arctic's Sea of Ice. Upon encountering the Joes, he has his contingent block his enemy's only way out of the cave.[3] He then ordered his harvester robot to gather the crystals. A radiation poisoned Snake-Eyes came out of the cave and rather than shoot him down, the Major leaves him to die in the snowy desert.[4] After succeeding in getting the crystals, Bludd earns his rest until the Joes finally find out the true location of the Cobra Temple. He was among the number of Cobras taken into custody at the end of the battle.[5]
