Ever since Comic-Con when I saw the Scrap-Iron vs WildBill comic pack, I've been wondering has Scrap-Iron even been shown in the comics or cartoons with his faced so scarred. Did Snake-Eyes or Storm Shadow's swords have a go at it with Scrap-Irons face? Don't get me wrong this figure is awesome and actually gives Scrap-Iron more character. So little is know of Scrap-Iron, maybe the comic pack will reveal something in Scrap-Iron's past. Oh well just wondering if any of you know something about Scrap's past that would lead Hasbro to mold a head so scarred.

Yeah,
Probably in the comic he comes with. Maybe Wild Bill shoots an ammo dump and Scrap Iron is disfigured? Or maybe one of Scrap Iron's weapons back-fire on him? When is this comic due to hit shelves? Sab |

The original '84 Scrap Iron figure has scars on his cheek coming down from under his goggles. The card art also shows the scar. The 25th version just really elaborated on the amount of scaring he has.

I remember getting Scrap-Iron when he first came out. I liked the figure a lot, but the scar always kind of frightened me. Now I think it's a great character supplement, and it makes sense that someone who worked in his field would have more than his share of scars. Testing weapons and munitions can be risky work, to say the least.
As far as appearances, I remember him featured in the Arise, Serpentor, Arise! 5-parter. Check Propadeutic's site for a more comprehensive list. Complete Guide to G.Â*I.Â*Joe: A Real American Hero |

I think in the 80's comics there was a mention of him getting that way from a weapons malfuntion with one of his missiles. It exploded and scarred him. I remember the art in the book but I can't remember which comic.
