By growing up in the alligator-infested swamplands of southern Florida, PATHFINDER quickly learned how to find his way around in order to stay alive! With his father's help, Pathfinder mastered the ways of jungle survival. He learned how to make trails where there were none, to detect unnatural jungle sounds, and to attack unsuspecting targets swiftly and quietly. When he was eighteen, Pathfinder enlisted in the Army and began a career as a jungle recon specialist. Almost immediately, he became the Army's premiere jungle/rain forest tactical assault expert. Pathfinder was then ordered to serve as G.I. Joe's jungle assault specialist where he is now responsible for all covert operations involving attacks on Cobra Island.
Pathfinder is a G.I. Joe team operative in the A Real American Hero line. First released as a Hasbro carded action figure in 1990, with 1 distinct figure version produced across the 1982 to 1994 vintage run.
Pathfinder appears in 3 episode synopses across the Sunbow (1983 to 1987) and DiC (1989 to 1992) runs, first appearing in DiC's "United We Stand" (1990). Full screencap and continuity review pending.
