| LT. FALCON VOICE ACTOR: Don Johnson ALLEGIANCE: G.I.Joe SPECIALTY: green beret 1ST APPEARANCE: G.I.JOE: THE MOVIE FALCON is the younger half-brother to DUKE, the second-in-command of the GIJoe team. FALCON joined the military but gained the reputation and record of being a slacker who constantly failed to do his duty. He also dated JINX but the despite the attraction the two felt for each other, FALCON'S lousy attitude ruined it. DUKE thought he had potential so he arranged for FALCON to be transfered to the Joe team as part of a training group called the Rawhides. FALCON quickly went back to his old ways by skipping a pratice fight with JINX and instead taking a blonde named Heather on a tour of the Joe stockade where SERPENTOR was being held. DUKE found them and stopped them for getting too far. Heather, however, was actually ZARANA. She took pictures using a camera hidden in her earrings and led her fellow DREADNOKS in a successful raid to free SERPENTOR. FALCON was suppossed to be on guard duty but he blew it off to go talk to JINX. By the time he got back to his post it was already too late. HAWK grew enraged and demanded FALCON be court martialed. At the hearing, DUKE spoke out and revealed his and FALCON'S family ties to HAWK. HAWK decided to send FALCON to train under SERGEANT SLAUGHTER. Under SLAUGHTER'S watchful eye, FALCON began to show his true potential. He accompanied SLAUGHTER and the RENEGADES on a recon mission to the TERROR DROME. During the mission, the group found out about a Cobra attack on the BET. FALCON was ordered to find a radio and warn the Joes. FALCON found the radio room but was captured before he could send a message. SLAUGHTER went back for him and rescued him. FALCON and the others then hooked up with the Joes just as they were fighting Cobra for the BET. SERPENTOR destroyed the vehicle SLAUGHTER and FALCON were riding on knocking both men off their feet. He then approached FALCON and tried to stab him with one of his snake spears. DUKE intervened and ended taking the spear in his chest. As a result he went into a coma. FALCON wanted in on the mission to track the BET down to COBRA-LA and attack. However, HAWK had FALCON and the Rawhides guard the base instead. When HAWK and most of the Joes were captured, FALCON and his friends joined up with a unit led by FLINT and rescued their teammates. FALCON, SLAUGHTER, and JINX then made it to the BET and FALCON got into a fight with SERPENTOR. He defeated him but was then attacked by GOLOBULOUS, the leader of COBRA-LA. The evil fiend started to snap FALCON'S back but the Joe grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the eye. He then shut off the BET. However, GOLOBULOUS pointed out that the spores the BET were powering had burst and were about to rain down on the Earth. FALCON turned the BET back on and overloaded it so it would fry the spores in orbit. the blast was going to destroy COBRA-LA. FALCON was going to stay behind but SLAUGHTER and JINX pulled him out. All the Joes made it out safely and DUKE meanwhile recovered from his coma. Shortly after, FALCON and JINX watched the rest of the spores burn up. (Note: FALCON is portrayed differently in the Marvel Comics series. He is also not related to DUKE in the comics. Don Johnson is most famous for his role as Sonny Crockett on Miami Vice and as the title character on Nash Bridges.) Back to Main Page Back to table of contents |
