Candy vanishes due to interference by the Cobra agent Buzzer
. This sets Ripcord out on a mission to Cobra Island
, he tricks Ace
, during an overflight, into activating his helmet. This allows Ripcord to parachute out, an act unofficially approved by General Hawk
. However, Candy has been killed during a coincidental visit to Springfield, the headquarters of Cobra. Few realize this. Ripcord battles Zartan
, in an isolated section of Cobra Island. Both wound each other. Zartan subdues the man and switches identities with him. Ripcord's physical differences from Zartan is accepted because the Cobra agent is a master of disguise.
Zartan is taken to Joe headquarters. Ripcord ends up at the main center for Cobra, the city of Springfield. Ripcord eventually makes an escape attempt after giving Joes the location of Springfield. Ripcord is captured by a loyal Cobra child. Ripcord's information allows G.I. Joe to raid Springfield. They safely rescue him, but not before he undergoes torture in the 'Brain Wave Scanner', a device that was currently pumping information into the form of Serpentor

Ripcord returns to Sierra Gordo and again works with Recondo. Along with the Joes Dart, Tunnel Rat
and Low-Light
they investigate an invading army from a neighboring country. They work with local resistance to kill many of these soldiers; it degenerates to hand-to-hand combat and Low-Light and Tunnel Rat are severely injured. It turns out it was all a 'scam' by Destro
and his Iron Grenadiers
to set one country against another for profit. Duke
forces Destro to call this off; Ripcord realizes something stinks about the whole situation. On returning to the PITT, he confronts Duke about his actions, indicating he's unhappy with how Duke has changed.
Rip Cord is also featured in one of the famous "And Knowing Is Half the Battle" Public Service Announcement
s where he instructs a young ballplayer to have his eyes checked after repeatedly striking out due to blurred vision saying that it's best to confront a problem head-on rather than avoid it.
episode "The Descent". Ripcord is African American in this series. In this show, he was one of four rookies, along with Duke, Tunnel Rat, and Roadblock, chosen by Lady Jaye to investigate the Cobra Pharmaceutical Plant under the command of Scarlett. They discover Cobra's new top secret weapon, the Bio-Vipers, being created by Doctor Mindbender
. He is supposedly killed in an explosion with Bio-Vipers who caught him during the escape from the secret lab after they set the bomb.
In the episode "Prodigal," the Joes - upon infiltrating a Cobra Medical Facility - discover that Ripcord is the "Patient X" that was used as a test subject for the creation of the Anaconda Strain virus. Following a brief amnesia, the Joes try to get Ripcord out of there, and work to help Ripcord regain his memories. Ripcord doesn't even know how he got out of the explosion. It was soon discovered that Ripcord had been converted into a Bio-Viper while evading a Cobra Drone in the Coyote. When the Cobra Drone was destroyed, Ripcord returned to normal. Scarlett spots a control chip in Ripcord's head and wonders what happened, as Scarlett plans to turn Ripcord over to General Abernathy. Flint, Lady Jaye, and Wild Bill
arrive and are unaware of what happened to Ripcord. Just then some Cobra Drones arrive, causing the Joes to try to shoot them down. Cobra Commander then uses the control chip to turn Ripcord into a Bio-Viper, breaking free from Flint's chopper and knocking out Flint in the process. The Bio-Viper Ripcord then attacks Duke, who tries to get Ripcord to fight the control. Ripcord states that he can't control it and takes the blast from Flint's chopper. A flashback by Ripcord reveals that Doctor Mindbender used him as a test subject for a Bio-Viper/human hybrid in Cobra Commander's plans for immortality. Upon fighting the control chip, Ripcord rejoins the Joes. Cobra Commander then plans to have his men recover Ripcord alive and intact.
In the episode "The Anomaly", Ripcord is shown to also have developed an ability to detect other Bio-Vipers, when it came to a Sewer Viper in New York. When Doctor Mindbender used his neuro-link helmet in another attempt to control Ripcord's Bio-Viper form, the Sewer Viper attacked, and Doctor Mindbender sicked the Ripcord/Bio-Viper on it. The Sewer Viper managed to remove the control chip from Ripcord, freeing him from Doctor Mindbender's control, with Ripcord being able to control the transformation and abilities at will. Though Ripcord destroyed the neuro-link helmet and vowed to make Doctor Mindbender pay for what he did to him, Duke intervened when the fail-safe in the Bio-Vipers started their self-destruction, upon the helmet being separated from Doctor Mindbender. When Ripcord wanted to sacrifice himself to prevent the explosion, the Sewer Viper ended up sacrificing its own life to prevent the explosion instead.
. This version is changed significantly from his source material counterpart, including the way his codename is rendered. In the film, Ripcord is African-American, a newcomer to G.I. Joe, and one of the film's major characters; the traditional Rip Cord, however, is Caucasian, a G.I. Joe veteran, and more of a background character.
In the film, he is Duke
's best friend and partner, also attempting much of the comic relief
. Before joining G.I. Joe, they were mid-level ground troops in the U.S. Army. Unlike Duke, Ripcord loves flying planes and wanted to join the U.S. Air Force before becoming a Joe. They join the team through a series of events caused by the treacherous actions of James McCullen
. Their codenames, presumably earned in the Army, are carried over with them into G.I. Joe.
The team's commanding officer, General Hawk
states that Ripcord's test scores are comparable to Duke's, if imperfect. Also, after completing a marksmanship test, Ripcord's score comes just short of matching the best on record: Scarlett
's. Throughout the film, Ripcord tries to impress Scarlett, to whom he is openly attracted. Though she generally rebuffs his advances, they become close over the course of the film, and she kisses him by its completion.
