Is he a completely new character or was he born out of comics or Kindle Worlds? Is there any background information on him available?

He's a brand new character. He is being envisioned as Duke's counterpart, which would make him a field leader of some sort. Mark Weber said he wanted a Cobra who wasn't ashamed of who he was or what he did and therefore didn't feel the need to hide his face.

I noted that he could be used as a cartoon Lt. Claymore from the Sunbow line.
As soon as Hasbro releases the file card, we'll get it posted up.

Ashamed? Because COBRA doesn't have several key characters who don't wear masks -- Baroness, Major Bludd, Dr. Mindbender. But, I guess, Storm Shadow and Firefly are ashamed of what they do.

Agreed. I'm happy to see they are adding new characters (especially named Cobras) even if the execution is not that great. It's better than just getting the same characters over and over again.

I like the idea of Tombstone. From what I have heard from the Joe team - Tombstone is supposed to be a fearsome and capable commander, one who does not shy away from the cameras after he has completed an act of aggression. He's the dangerous villain that makes you sweat, not the silly villain that makes you laugh. Think Christopher Nolan's Joker and Bane, compared to Shumacher's Bane and villains.
I think it's a good idea, now hopefully we will get some fiction with Tombstone, maybe in an IDW comic.

It is a cool idea, but seeing him in hand this morning, he is a terrible figure. Just my opinion, but I didn't like that body as firefly either. He looks like the guy at the gym who always skips leg day. The giant Deebo head doesn't help.
