Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Bulletman was part of the Adventure Team along with Joe Colton, Miles Manheim, and Mike Power. Secret Raiders

During the Adventure Team's mission to rescue Garrison Kreiger at the Tomb of Amtoltec, Stalker and Mayhem called Bulletman and Atomic Man in for help with the robotic mummies. The pair of enhanced heroes took the robots out with ease, showboating for the "normal soldiers." After Joe called the team for help against Soundwave, Bulletman attacked the Decepticon by plowing into his chest. After Soundwave retreated, Ruby noticed how much interest Kreiger took in the mysterious Talisman the team had unearthed.

While shooting a movie, Ruby was approached by Ian Noble, Ayana Jones, Garrison Blackrock, masquerading as a group of movie producers looking to turn one of his Adventure Team stories into a movie. When asked what happened to Kreiger, Ruby said that he killed Mike Power. Ian then asked if he had ever heard of Baron Ironblood, to which Ruby simply responded that he "doesn't do superhero movies anymore" before returning to set. Kup commented that he was not a fan of Ruby's films. The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb

Notes

• The original Bulletman toy seems to be based on the Golden Age Fawcett Comics superhero of the same name, right down to a silver bullet-shaped helmet and red outfit.
• Bulletman's true identity was never given until the third volume of IDW's G.I. Joe.
• In Secret Raiders, Bulletman is seen next to Mike Power, the Atomic Man. This is likely a reference to the fact that the original characters formed the “Super Adventure Team”.
