- General Flagg is a human affiliate of G.I. Joe from the Generation 1 continuity family.
A high-ranking Army officer who even Hawk answers to, General Flagg has the unenviable job of riding herd on a rather rambunctious team of misfits. With such oddballs and threats like a land of talking snake-people to face, you need a straight-faced, serious man at the helm and the fact neitehr Cobra nor Decepticon have yet conquered America or its allies tells you that Flagg is pretty good at being that man. When things get pretty out there though, he is capable of pulling some quite dodgy moves to win.
Fiction
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
Following a Cobra attack on peace talks in Washington, D.C., General Flagg introduced Colonel Abernathy to Officer Faireborn and Sergeant Burnett, who would form the core of a new team codenamed G.I. Joe. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #1
Once the team was assembled, General Flagg attended a briefing wherein he, Hawk, Lady Jaye, and Flint attempted to make sense of the latest data concerning Cobra and their new toys. When it was learned that the team might just finally have an edge on the serpents, he personally took on the task of introducing Mercer, a Cobra defector, to the rest of the Joe team. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2
As G.I. Joe assaulted Cobra Island in defiance of orders, Flagg listened in on a conversation between the President of the United States and some generals at the Pentagon, which resulted in the President giving the order to nuke the island. Flagg had time to radio Hawk and warn him. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5 Hawk asked if there was anything Flagg could do to prevent the strike, but the matter was out of the general's control. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #6
Some time later, Hawk and Lady Jaye managed to persuade Flagg to send the Joes to Tibet. Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe
After Snake-Eyes was disfigured during a battle with Cobra, the ninja retreated into the wilderness. General Lawrence J. Flagg went out to retrieve him when the looming threat of Cybertron became a concern. Whatever Flagg told Snake-Eyes was apparently not enough for the ninja to rejoin G.I. Joe, and so Flagg organized a "welcoming comittee" for the approaching planet's representatives without him. Knowing to stay cautious, however, he primed an orbital defense satellite to shoot a Coltonbolt down onto the aliens if they proved to be hostiles. Flagg also organized another mission that would begin while his first team met with the Cybertronians. This second team would be tasked with exploring Cybertron if its natives proved friendly, or invading the planet if they were hostile.
G.I. Joe's meeting with the Decepticons quickly spiraled out of control when Snake-Eyes showed up after all... to shoot Hawk as he was talking with the aliens. The countdown sequence for the Colton Bolt was initiated, and General Flagg rode away from the chaos on his "Bumblecycle." From a safe distance, Flagg looked on as the Colton Bolt roasted Soundwave, and declared:
Knowing that the Joe's orbital weapon would only catch the Cybertronians by surprise once, he informed Scarlett, leader of his away team, that the aliens were their enemies, as they had anticipated, and that the Joes were now officially at war with Cybertron. I Saw Three Ships
Flagg sent Scarlett and the bulk of the G.I. Joe forces off-planet to take the offensive in the inter-planetary conflict. When he next checked in on his away team, he caught Scarlett in the middle of a fire-fight with the Decepticons. She informed General Flagg that the Joes's deployment timetable had been stepped up due to complications. Targetmasters
Aboard the USS Flagg, General Flagg took part in General Hawk's mock-funeral, an elaborate set-up meant to draw Cobra into the open.
