Profile[]
Grand Slam was born as James J. Barney in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. He is very skilled with both artillery and and electronics engineer. His first training was done in conventional artillery where he honed his skills with the 155mm battery. He graduated top of his class from Special Weapons School before being recruited by the G.I. Joe team. He is a qualified expert in several weapons including the M-16, M-1911A1, the H.A.L. and J.U.M.P. He is also capable of estimating distances and trajectories without the use of technology and with great accuracy. However, Grand Slam is known to be somewhat of a recluse, often preferring to read science fiction comic books in a quiet atmosphere.
