Spirit Iron-Knife

Stepping onto the battlefield in 1985's G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #32, Spirit Iron-Knife is a Bronze Age creation from the legendary Larry Hama and Frank Springer — born into one of Marvel's most beloved action franchises at the height of its cultural moment. Over nearly four decades of publication, this character has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with icons like Duke, Cobra Commander, and the Baroness. With a key collector's issue among their appearances and a presence that has endured from the Reagan era all the way to 2024, Spirit Iron-Knife is a testament to the depth and staying power of the G.I. Joe universe — the kind of character that rewards fans who dig deeper into the roster.
