The Technohol 13 Alphabetical Character Roster: B
Babau (Tanar'ri): babau are greater tanar'ri that assemble the vast armies required to wage the Blood War. They conscript their least and lesser cousins into the fight, while themselves avoiding the front lines as long as they can keep the 'recruits' coming. Availability:
Babel: after meeting KGB defector Alexi Ruyanev, Thame Panagitis became enamored of his notions of bringing about a world government, and helped him form the Medusa Web organization. To this end, he has engaged in various clandestine activities to achieve this goal ever since. Availability:
Backblast: after growing up in the shadow of New York City's greatest airport, Edward J. Menninger decided he'd had enough. Made to hate airplanes after years of exposure to their loud noise and bright lights, he enlisted to get a job in the Army blowing the things up! Backblast comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Backfire: a nondescript kind of guy before the White Event, George was a hard up loser. While the Event gave him impressive reflective powers, he's still a loser, endlessly perpetrating his raunchy personality upon the Medusa Web on its many paramilitary actions. Availability:
Backstop: though he's been run out of every sport he tried, from hockey to wrestling to boxing, Robert has finally found his home in the Gi Joe team. The man is brutally competitive, and has a habit of leaving broken opponents in his wake (and that's just his friends!) Backstop comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Badger: though lightly armed, the Badger is incredibly fast and astoundingly maneuverable. A modified, heavily armored Jeep, this lemon-colored off-road vehicle is great for leading the charge against any Cobra infantry in the field - no matter where they're hiding out! the Badger comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Doctor Lucian Ballad: a well regarded psychologist assigned to work with the Remsen kids after their parents were wiped out in a bomb blast, Doctor Lucian Ballad convinced them to use their impressive dream powers to help others in his clinic after he discovered them. Availability:
Tullius Ballad: Dr. Lucian Ballad's evil twin brother, Tullius has always been obsessed with destroying his counterpart. Believing this the only way to claim his soul for his own, he studied dark arts and became a powerful Bokor in order to defeat his 'good's side. Availability:
Kayla Ballantine: when her boyfriend Quasar returned from a cross-time adventure, he inadvertently passed the Star Brand to Kayla. Though she didn't realize it at first, various villains were able to perceive her new power, and thus schemed to take the Brand from her. Availability:
Balors (Tanar'ri): the most powerful of true tanar'ri, balors are few and far between. However, the staggering, blazing power they wield is enough to cow even the most arrogant tanar'ri into submission - further aiding their crusades against the hated baatezu! Availability:
Banzai: seeking purpose and direction, Robert J. Travalino walked the earth, and went on adventures. In Tibet, he encountered a reclusive ninja master who helped forge him into a weapon that could decide his own destiny. And Robert has since decided to become a Gi Joe ninja! Banzai comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Bar-lgura (Tanar'ri): bearing a strong resemblance to conventional orangutans, the bar-lgura aren't much smarter than those mundane creatures. Of course, normal animals don't bear an arsenal of demonic powers, much less blinding rage against anything besides themselves... Availability:
Barbecue: thrill-seeker and all around party animal, Gabriel became a fire fighter for the sheer fun of it - not to mention the ability to chop things down with an axe on the job. The only dedicated fire fighter on the Gi Joe team, he tends to be placed on missions with the flamethrower experts... Barbecue comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Seņor Barnett: the child of two super heroes, Arpad Barnett didn't develop powers initially, living a cheerfully normal life. At least, he did until his uncontrollable technopsionic legacy caught up with him, and seemingly unhinged the man! Availability:
Baron Blood: after an encounter with the mighty Dracula, malcontent blueblood John Falsworth became a vampire himself. His twisted need for vengeance against his brother eventually drove him to Nazi Germany, for aid in crushing his relative and homeland. Availability:
the Baroness: after her brother was killed while selling medical supplies to the N.V.A., the girl who would become the Baroness descended into a life consumed by a need for vengeance, and her foray into international terrorism ultimately led to her association with Cobra. the Baroness comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Barracuda: an incredibly small vehicle, the Barracuda is in effect a one man submarine. This tiny aquatic ride can swim beneath the waves to attack Cobra's sea-based vessels, rapidly sinking them with torpedoes (or just its sharpened hull) before the evil terrorists even know what hit them! The Barracuda comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Barrel Roll: Dwight E. Stall comes from a family with a long tradition of military service. He is the first of three siblings to complete the Gi Joe training course, and has proven to be the most capable Joe in his family (save where his brother Blackout beats him in sheer depravity). Barrel Roll comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Barricade: an urban combat expert by trade, Phillip was trained long and hard in his art - which made joining the Gi Joe team almost easy for him. A late comer to the group, he nonetheless works hard to prove his mettle - and to protect his fellow Joes when he leads them into a hostile city...! Barricade comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Louis 'Treetop' Barrington: this somewhat unscrupulous fellow started out as a Huey pilot doing covert op troop insertions / extractions in Vietnam, though he resorted to taking any job for the highest bidder afterwards - until inspired to do more ethical work by his pal Mark. Availability:
The Battle Blitz: a six wheeled, all-terrain vehicle with a large vertical profile, the Battle Blitz is one of the Joe team's 'Spy Troops' vehicles with a built in surprise - this being a built-in 'land luge' launcher a Joe can ride at incredible speeds! Availability:
the Battle Copter (Cobra): after the Gi Joe team developed small, man-portable helicopter vehicles to provide emergency aerial capability in a pinch, Cobra decided to get in on that action, and 'appropriated' a few examples of their prototype rides. The result is, of course, the Cobra Battle Copter! Comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Battle Copter (Gi Joe): while the Air Commandos can get somewhere in a hurry and do so in a quiet manner, they're admittedly at the mercy of the weather somewhat. Keeping this in mind, the Gi Joe team built a powered alternative to their gliders, in the form of this backpack helicopter! the Battle Copter comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Battle Wagon: a large offensive vehicle, the Battle Wagon lives up to its name. It looks like a giant, oversized pickup truck with a missile launcher mounted where the bed should be. And, well, with laser guns and a strange cab with a freaky grille. But you know. the Battle Wagon comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Bazooka: a former tank jockey until his sudden epiphany about untrained yahoos immobilizing million dollar hardware with two hundred dollar handheld rockets, Bazooka instead became a missile specialist himself. Now a highly trained yahoo, he excels in destroying enemy vehicles for the Gi Joe team! Bazooka comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Beach-Head: one of the hardest, meanest Rangers ever to come out of Fort Benning, Wayne is a perfect addition to the Gi Joe team, as his never-ending quest for personal perfection tends to rub off on others - even if it does so in a somewhat abrasive fashion...! Beach-Head comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Behemoth Remote Controlled Tank: this advanced, glossy black tank was an advanced, remote controlled weapon of war that Krotze International had developed for the Department of Defense to wage war without putting American soldiers at risk. Availability:
Big Bear: filling the role of Horror Show in the Oktober Guard after a fashion, Big Bear was recruited onto the team after the death of most of its original line-up. Big and surly, Big Bear more than makes up for his attitude with his effective performance. Availability:
Big Ben: an elite British S.A.S. soldier, David is just as competent as your average American Special Forces trooper. Though trained differently, he's just as good as his fellow Joes are in the eradication of Cobra forces, no matter what the nefarious terrorists are up to...! Big Ben comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Big Brawler: with his dual specialty in Army intelligence and jungle survival, Brian proved more than effective at rooting out jungle-based terrorists. This made him an excellent fit for the Gi Joe team, as Cobra has a tendency to hide their bases in the thickest, nastiest jungles they can find! Big Brawler comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Big Lob: a true basketball fan that may or may not have played in a professional capacity before enlisting, Big Lob showed he was a true athlete upon hitting basic training. He's since proved himself to both the regular brass and the Gi Joe team, and excels in all manner of the team's special missions! Big Lob comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Black Marvel: after one hundred Black Feet youths proved unable to pass the tests of strength, stamina and dexterity, Dan Lyons did so! Proving himself to their dying chief, he was given the costume and role of the Black Marvel, with which he protects the innocent! Availability:
Black Widow: after her sister was murdered by a mobster the legal system wouldn't touch, Claire Voyant was given an offer she couldn't refuse: the opportunity to gain vengenace! Of course, one should be careful what they vow over the grave of a dead relative... Availability:
Blast-Off: the single greatest fire fighter the state of Missouri ever knew, Jeffrey D. Thompson single-handedly put out a forest fire after his fellows were incapacitated by smoke - earning him a place on the Gi Joe team. Of course, now he sets fires as well as exinguishing them - go figure. Blast-Off comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Blaster (Gi Joe): having been somewhat taken with ground effect vehicle technology since his youth, Brian enlisted in the Army in order to acquire the funding he needed to develop the technology further. This worked out better than he imagined, and now Brian is on the bleeding edge of such development! Blaster comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Blazing Skull: while reporting on the second Sino-Japanese war, ace reporter Mark Todd wandered into the field of fire. Seeking shelter in a cave, he discovered a race of mysterious 'Skull Men' - who forged him into their champion against evil: the Blazing Skull! Availability:
Blizzard: Gregory is tough because he has to be, for he knows that with his job as a cold weather soldier - much less the instructor of other like soldiers - he will become a statistic if he goes easy on himself... and his charges will as well, if he goes easy on them. Blizzard comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Blockbuster: a large 6WD vehicle, the Blockbuster is designed primarily for Arctic combat, but can be deployed in just about any environment (though its white paint job may hinder that some). It's armed with a massive pom-pom launcher and Gatling cannon bank, so watch out! The Blockbuster comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Blocker: after driving a cab in Boston for several years, David enlisted in the Army in order to get a ride with which he could shoot back at the opposition. He's proven so good at fighting behind the wheel that he eventually got selected to be a Battle Force 2000 vehicular combatant! Blocker comes in Classic and Saga styles!
the Blonde Phantom: publicly a secretary for the Mark Mason Detective Agency, Louise Grant was secretly the Blonde Phantom! When Mark stumbled upon any threats of a serious nature, Louise'd step in as the Phantom and set things straight, one way or the other. Availability:
Blowtorch: Timothy joined the Army in order to master what he felt was the most ancient form of combat - that which involved fire! Though he wields the stuff like a demon in battle, Timothy is probably the biggest proponent of fire safety on earth - since he knows what it can do. Blowtorch comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Bludgeon (Destructicon): something of a schemer, Bludgeon is the rare, grandiose sort of villain who can back up his talk with muscle. He's strong and tough on top of his mental brawn, and had he not joined up with Scourge, he'd have founded the Destructicons himself! Availability:
Blue Blaze: exposed in the midst of a tornado to a mysterious blue blaze his father had discovered, Spencer Keen is slain outright. Rising from his grave a century later, Keen finds himself driven to fight against evil and injustice in the world - as the Blue Blaze! Availability:
Blue Diamond: when an immense blue diamond exploded in his hands, anthropologist Elton T. Morrow was imbued with the stone's strange powers. Though he did so reluctantly, Elton decided to use his new powers against the forces of evil as... the Blue Diamond! Availability:
the Bomb Disposal Unit: handy for Exposive Ordnanace Disposal work, this vehicle is a small treaded device that can handle undetonated weaponry (both allied and enemy) with relative safety. In other words, the Bomb Disposal Unit helps the Gi Joe team render an area safe - both before and after a battle! Comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Bombstrike: Alyssa has shown once again that her family is destined for greatness. Like her brother Barrel Roll, Alyssa has proven her mettle and joined the Gi Joe team as a forward air controller - much to the chagrin of her other brother, the evil Cobra operative known as Blackout... Bombstrike comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Boo-Getty: Redneck Zombie: transformed into a so-called 'greater zombie' by a mad wizard with designs on global domination, Jeb Jacobs instead decided to use his newfound physical power and renewed life to further his own ends, and not his re-creator's. Availability:
Brain Drain: a morally dubious scientist, Werner Schmidt was crushed by a falling space craft shortly after duplicating the American Super-Soldier Serum. Rebuilt by his masters in a robot body, he returned to curse the world as the bizarre Brain Drain! Availability:
Brainrave: a telepath with a severe electronica fetish, Comyna is a happy go lucky adventurer whether or not she's currently working with Mindwatch. She's as likely to go clubbing as she is stomping on Mindwatch's enemies, mind you. Availability:
the Brawler: a large, self-propelled gun, the Brawler's main feature is its' 77mm Howitzer cannon. Of course, then there's the large surface to air missile launchers, and the twinned machine gun mounts, and its freaky-cool ablative armor technology. It really lives up to its name! the Brawler comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Breaker: Alvin was schooled in at least seven languages and the operation of most NATO communications gear. Despite his lack of combat experience, and being one of the youngest men to ever become a Joe, Alvin repeatedly proved his worth as the Joes' communications officer. Breaker is available in Classic and Saga styles!
Colonel Brekhov: leader of the original Oktober Guard, Colonel Ivan Nikelovich Brekhov is notorious for his take no prisoners and make no apologies attitude. This cigar-chomping veteran is a fair and patriotic role model for his subordinates! Availability:
Brick: this bizarre thug is a trained killing machine in the C.I.A.'s employ, that has been utilized by Edmund Roth for Project: Spitfire in the past. Though he's very good at what he does, he's susceptible to the ultrasonic frequencies used to control his mind during his training. Availability:
Brick Wall: an offensive tackle for the New York Smashers, Beauford 'Brick Wall' Wohl doubles as the other half of Kickers, Inc.'s muscle, helping the team to deal with trouble while they investigate various paranormal mysteries - when he isn't balancing the books, at least! Availability:
the Bridge Layer: a perfect vehicle for a combat engineer like Tollbooth, the Bridge Layer is an armored bridge-deploying vehicle, capable of helping other vehicles (armored or otherwise) cross troubled terrain with ease. It's also heavily armed in case the enemy thinks it an 'easy target...' The Bridge Layer comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Browneye the Pirate: cursed to wander the seven seas until the end of time after offending a powerful sorceress, Alastair has taken full advantage of said 'curse' to indeed wander the earth, pillaging and looting all the while - except for all the time he's spend 'on ice'... Browneye the Pirate comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Colonel MacIntyre Browning: a high ranking Army intelligence officer, Colonel 'Mac' Browning was called in to investigate the Pitt disaster. The man did his best to contain the situation, but it was naturally beyond his - or anybody else's - understanding. Availability:
Bruno: both an ardent patriot and a fan of really big explosions, Bruno Werner turned out to be a perfect recruit for the D.A.A. - even if he managed to get himself on the F.B.I.'s Most Wanted list shortly after being put to use by those vigilantes...! Availability:
Bruticus: having taken the form of the mythical beast, Cerberus, Bruticus manages to excel in his job as Megatron's jailer. Using his vicious fangs and other sharp implements of pain, he easily keeps Megatron's Autobot prisoners (and naughty Predacons) in line! Availability:
Bucky / Winter Soldier / Captain America 11: though he died in the same explosion that put Captain America 'on ice', James' body was recovered by Soviets who brainwashed him. Recovering thanks to Captain America, James has since taken on his old mentor's role! Availability:

Given the family's ancestral home, he has tried to live up to his legacy, and done a pretty good job of it. Budo comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Bulezau (Tanar'ri): rumored to originally be the creation of mad tanar'ri lord Baphomet, the ill-tempered bulezau are hate-driven murder machines. Though somewhat concentrated in the 600th layer of the Abyss, one can find them all over that plane these days. Availability:
Bullet-Proof: Earl has done his time as a D.E.A. operative in some of the world's biggest drug hot spots, including the Golden Triangle. Earning his nickname the hard way, he's been recruited onto the Gi Joe team to lead its very own drug interdiction force, the D.E.F.! Bullet-Proof comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Bullhorn: one of the best crisis negotiators out there, Stephen is also a world class shot with a pistol and a former Quantico hand to hand combat instructor.

Jacob Burnsley: Jacob is a retired Army quartermaster who, after an encounter with the Star Child, walked away with a portion of the Star Brand! Having been implored to use his powers wisely by the Star Child, Jacob has performed various good deeds with the Star Brand. Availability:

A newer member of the Ninja Force, he has trained to become the very first snow ninja, and excels in hand to hand combat no matter how cold it gets outside! Bushido comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Buzzer: a Cambridge sociologist who snapped while studying Australian biker gangs, Dick wound up joining one, finding it a great outlet for his newly released hatred for all things modern.
