| SPARKS |
NAME: Verdi, Alessandro
Primary Specialty: Telecommunications Operator |
| SPARKS was originally recruited for the G. I. JOE support staff by GENERAL FLAGG and served as a radio operator and computer expert in the early days of the team. Unfortunately he saw little field action, and unofficially "retired" to freelance work in the media industry. But his skills were so uncanny and his loyalty so strong that he soon returned, working as a liaison to Military Intelligence and the Generals in Operations. While he serves many vital functions, his specialty is operating so-called "secret numbers stations," sending short wave radio transmissions to covert operatives throughout the free world in English, Spanish, German, French, and Slavic languages in a variety of electronically altered voices. |

| My Comments: This head sculpt actually belonged to either Airborne or Recondo, neither worked for each of those characters. For my crew, Sparks is definitely a non-combatant and a top target on Cobra's hit list. He's been too successful at electronically disrupting Cobra plans, banking, etc. Plus, he's been severely injured in a prior mission, so he primarily stays at the base. Which actually works with the SA body that the head sculpt is mounted on. The mid-chest joint came loose, some restraining part of plastic broke and the torso seperated! Severe injury indeed! |
