Back in the eighties, G.I. Joe decided to let Refrigerator Perry join the team. Well, Perry (being a Chicago Bear at the time) was to be put in command of a G.I. Joe offshoot based on the Cinncinatti
Bengals, hence Tiger Force. When the Bears went to the Super Bowl back in what, 1985 or 1986, Tiger Force was put on hold for a few years. When 1988 rolled around, Tiger Force was pulled out of mothballs, but the Fridge had moved on to form (with the cancelled Rocky Balboa figure) a housing project for temporarily crippled birds in Walla Walla up there in the Pacific Northwest. Perry resigned his G.I. Joe commission after his star staus imploded and was threatened to never mention G.I. Joe to anyone, or else he would be required to take speech therapy classes if he did. Believe me, he really needed them. I never could understand a word the guy said! Then again, what do you expect from a guy you could order for five Football Points (or whatver they were called)? It was like a mail order bride thing except he was an action fi...aw, never mind. Tiger Force went on to appear in a Tony Salmons drawn adventure where they battled the elite Python Patrol -- a Cobra special ops division that was even more top secreter (you read that right) than the mostly secret Cobra organization. It's almost like a top secret offshoot of a larger entity that nobody knows about to begin with. I think they call it "top secret". And now you know...
