There are devils in Tasmania and Ripper is probably the meanest of them all. Was expelled from nursery school for extorting candy from his schoolmates and spent most of his adult life in various correctional institutions. He is a professional criminal motivated by greed and a malignant dislike for the niceties of civilization. Specialty and M.O.: Edged weapons and cutting tools. Is known throughout the swamps for using his blade like a cross between a fireman's axe and a can opener to unlock gates and crack safes.
Ripper is a Dreadnok, the biker gang loyal to Zartan and aligned with Cobra. First released as a Hasbro carded action figure in 1985, with 1 distinct figure version produced across the ARAH 1982 to 1994 run.
