The two characters are related by blood, the first General Flagg being the father of the second. They are Lawrence J. Flagg, the father, and James Flagg III, the son. The five generations of Flaggs before them made careers in the military. Both became commanding officers in the G.I. Joe Team. GENERAL FLAGG I Lawrence J. Flagg is a Brigadier General in the US Army . He is responsible for creating Special Counter-Terrorist Group Delta, code named G.I. Joe, in response to rising terrorist threats, especially the evil Cobra Organization . He is the first commander of the G.I. Joe Team but often spent time in an administrative role. He was killed by Major Bludd during a major Cobra attack on The Pit , the Joe Team's headquarters. This version of Flagg did not receive his own action figure until 2004, when his figure was included in a "Comic Pack" release alongside Steeler, a Cobra Officer and issue #5 of the comic book where he played a significant role (interestingly enough, Flagg's dossier on the package used the same text as the earlier "General Flagg" figures, who represented his son). He also appeared in the first G.I. Joe animated mini-series The MASS Device but for the course of the series' run, he never appeared again. His appearance in that mini-series resembled more the character of General Austin (Flagg's immediate superior) from the early G.I. Joe comics than that of General Flagg's from the comics. GENERAL FLAGG II James Longstreet Flagg III is the son of Gen. Lawrence Flagg and he was born in Alexandria , Virginia . He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute . In a short time, he is able to rise up to the rank of Brigadier General. This version of Flagg is introduced only in the toys, he has yet to appear in any other media incarnations. REFERENCES |
