Sergeant Joseph "Joe" Strong was a paramarine with the 1st Marine Parachute Battalion during World War II. His unit was in action at the Pacific Theater for a short period of time, during which Strong developed a deep bond and a great sense of loyalty with the men in his battalion, especially Marine Wallace Angel. During a mission, Private Doug Danville (aka the Black Owl) saved Sergeant Strong's life and years later, Strong returned the favor when he saved Danville from a certain death. After the war, Strong spent time in the Marine Corps, but eventually joined the DANGER organization. It is believed that he had a lot to do with the reactivation of the Death Patrol in the second half of the 80s.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Strong was exceptional with firearms, a great shot. He also stood out as a hand-to-hand fighter, with a rough and slum style, but tremendously effective. But the best characteristic of him, without a doubt, was his leadership ability, serving as an example for the men in charge of him in each and every one of the combat situations in which he took part.
