Fighting the evil Cobra organization calls for powerful weapons and skilled soldiers trained to use them. Mirage is just such a soldier. He´s a specialist in weapons from machine guns to the TOW missile systems. Trained to lay down heavy cover fire and launch shoulder-mounted rockets while under an enemy attack, he has become an expert in all individual and crew-served weapons as well as anti-armor systems. Mirage advices and trains the G.I. Joe on what to use and when to use it. He takes particular delight in going up against the Cobra Vipers, who have lots of weaponry but don´t know the best way to use it. Mirage showed them that all the firepower in the world won´t beat a team of highly trained soldiers.

“It´s not just knowing how to use your weapons; it´s knowing when to use them.”
