AAA


Tunnel Rat's family tree is Trinidadian Chinese with branches of Irish, Spanish, and Indian thrown in. He grew up mean on the streets of Brooklyn, got tough on the Ranger Course at Fort Bening, and honed his skills in Grenada. He is a qualified expert with all NATO small arms and is familiar with most Warsaw Pact explosive devices.
"Tunnel Rat believes that anything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. His feeling about crawling into an enemy tunnel with a knife in one hand, a pistol in the other, and a flashlight in his mouth is simple—he can shoot straighter, bite harder, and run faster than anything he's ever encountered in a tunnel, so why worry."

Nicky's family tree has more branches than most, being of primarily Trinidadian Chinese descent, with bits and pieces of Irish, Spanish and Indian thrown in for good measure. He grew up on the mean streets of Brooklyn, which made him tough as old shoe leather, and became virtually fearless in the process. Of course, after he enlisted in the Army, Ranger school finished that job, and you'd be hard-pressed to find something that scares Nicky. Oh sure, he'll run from something if he's got no chance of beating it - he's not stupid - but true fear is something you won't find in this guy... he's just too tenacious.

At the same time, he's got quite a wry sense of humor, and is a little bit reckless, which means he's got a knack for getting himself into trouble one way or another. One would think that this would be a death sentence for a guy who defuses bombs and blows things up for a living, but not in this case. It actually makes Nicky startlingly effective at what he does. This is how the man eventually got shoe-horned into working for the Joes - not that he minds being assigned to the most prestigious military organization on earth (though the Oktober Guard might disagree on that score).

Having formally joined the team shortly after the second Pit was demolished by Hawk in an effort to take out Cobra's high command (who had invaded the place while it was empty), Nicky was on the Joe's payroll just in time for the group's first meeting with the deranged Cobra accountant, Raptor. This because Raptor had used his accounting and computer hacking skills to track down Nicky's payroll records, believing him to be a Joe. Noting that his pay had been forwarded to specific locations in the Rocky Mountains, he journeyed there, and sicced his trained attack raptors on the Joes.

Once they found Hawk's convoy of Joe vehicles, which was headed to the team's new Pit base in Utah, Raptor sicced none other than Cobra Commander on the team. This villain was flying the Pogo Ballistic Battle Ball, a special invention of Fred VII's, a Crimson Guardsman with a knack for electronics. While his invention didn't take off in the Cobra arsenal, the Commander nonetheless used it to dramatic effect against the Joe team's convoy, which lacked proper air support at the time (you don't expect to get attacked by high tech terrorists while driving cross-country, you know). Despite all this chicanery, Nicky stuck with the team through thick and thin, having participated in several of its infamous battles against Cobra, including the Cobra Island Civil War, the Battle of Millville, and more. Nicky proved his worth to the team time and time again, until it was disbanded in '94.

The Joes were intermittently active once again after this point, and whenever they put out the call, Nicky was more than happy to answer it, usually helping the team when Cobra hijinks became completely out of control, as was the case during the second Cobra Island Civil War... and of course World War III.
