Dusty
- Dusty is a member of G.I. Joe from the G.I. Joe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Dusty is the G.I. Joe's main desert soldier. That means he can spend a lot of time out in the sun, plays in the sand a lot, and has probably ridden a camel. He once carried a dead man on his back for miles just because he told the guy's mother that he'd make sure he came home one way or another.
