Breaker, aka Alvin R. Kibbey, is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series. He is the G.I. Joe Team's original communications officer and debuted in 1982.
Overview[]
Beginnings[]
Alvin left his hometown of Gatlinburg, Tennessee and enlisted in the army. He was recruited to the G.I. Joe team in 1982 as one of its original thirteen members while still a Private First Class, but had been familiar with most military communications devices and was fluent in seven languages by that time.
Story[]
As the team's first communications specialist, Breaker, proved an invaluable asset time and time again. He became known among his comrades for his affinity of chewing gum and popping bubbles, which surprisingly enough helped get a small group of Joes out of a hairy situation on one occasion.
Breaker served as a loyal member of G.I. Joe for a number of years, becoming one of the more respected of it's soldiers. He had attained the rank of Corporal E-4 during his time. At one point, he was removed from active duty along with several other Joes, but remained as the head of communications for the Joe headquarters, The Pit. He would eventually return to the field where he felt more useful.
During a routine hit and run mission to the desert nation of Trucial Abysmia, an unmerciful Cobra SAW Viper, misunderstood his orders and viciously executed several Joes in a flurry of gunfire. Attempting to escape his assault, Breaker along with Crazy Legsand Quick Kick were killed when the Cobra Rage they'd stolen to get away exploded after being hit by Cobra troops. When the mission saw its end, Breaker was laid to rest during a traditional military funeral along with his six fallen comrades-in-arms at Arlington National Cemetery.
