IDW Generation 1 continuity
Miles Manheim encountered Action Man during his days with the Adventure Team and was present when Galvatron allied with the Earth Defense Command years later. Because of his abilities to disrupt and create conflict, Colton nicknamed him Miles Mayhem.
Manheim met with Joe Colton and Scarlett to discuss the activities of the Transformers on Earth. He interjected during Colton's rant to point out Optimus Prime had come back to save them from the Decepticons and help them rebuild, but he was pretty dismissive of G.I. Joe. Eventually Colton revealed Manheim was there because Ore-13 was going critical thanks to Transformer activity and was likely to devastate the planet, and he was hoping Manheim could reverse-engineer something to help them fight from a captive, still conscious Blitzwing. Manheim was down with that! Secret Raiders
As his investigations of his Cybertronian captive continued apace, Manheim took Scarlett on a tour of his growing enterprise, and introduced her to the operatives of his new Mobile Armored Strike Kommand unit, piloting shape-shifting vehicles perfected by studying Blitzwing's Triple Changer physiology. Miles wasn't particularly concerned for Blizwing's well-being, even when Scarlett wondered if his prisoner could feel pain. Believing that the Transformers were behind the recent explosion of Mount Olympus in Greece, Manheim ordered his team to mobilize in the hopes of catching the Cybertronians unaware when they inevitably returned to "the scene of the crime". The team got the jump on Kup and Aileron in a nearby city; behind the wheel of his new Switchblade Miles was able to take out Kup while Aileron made a break for it. When his operative Matt Trakker wondered why their targets weren't acting like the unfeeling machines they believed them to be, Miles revealed that the Transformers were living beings - and that M.A.S.K. was at war with these alien lifeforms.The Divine Source of Liberty
Notes
- Miles Mayhem was never an Adventure Team member in the toyline (nor in the Joe line). He was added to the crew by IDW in order to tie the M.A.S.K. comic to G.I. Joe and made into the toyline's Sea Adventurer figure.
- Prior to this, the only time Miles Mayhem was associated with the G.I. Joe franchise was in the bio card for Specialist Trakker, which stated that Mayhem's organization V.E.N.O.M. was in fact a sub-division of Cobra (which seems obvious in retrospect).[1]
