Range-Vipers were already mean-spirited and tough, but the one who would be known as Skull Buster was the meanest and the toughest. He relished the hard life of a wilderness survivalist, eating anything that offered enough protein to be worth killing; though he would be willing to dine on carrion, he'd be more likely to kill and eat the scavengers that came to claim it. He imagined himself the ultimate predator.

Skull Buster going native

Skull Buster decided to leave Cobra behind, and went to hide out in Namibia, along the Skeleton Coast. When World War III began, Shipwreck and Cover Girl were sent to apprehend him. When their ship sank and they washed up on shore, he kidnapped Cover Girl to use as bait for the other Joe. Shipwreck tracked them successfully, and a fight broke out. Skull Buster was getting the better of the sailor, but Cover Girl distracted him, and Shipwreck used a scorpion's sting to temporarily paralyze Skull Buster. He begged the Joes to leave him to die in the desert, because for him, that was preferable to being imprisoned. Naturally, they refused.[1]

He was held in the maximum security prison called "The Coffin," located in Greenland,[2] and was one of several operatives who escaped during a raid.[3]
