Team Extreme
- Team Extreme is a totally bodacious group from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Founded in the radical 1990s, the righteous dudes and dudettes of Team Extreme kept it tight, battling gnarly villains of the decade like ninjas, mutants, skateboard gangs, and eco-terrorists. Phat leader Action Man kept things real, with his bodacious lady-friend Natalie Poole providing fire support; and if things got tough, they could always call on their time-travelling homeslice Sgt. Savage for some heavy firepower. Think that evil could stand a chance against a team this fly? As if!
Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
The Action Man of the 1990s was notable for assembling Team Extreme, which eventually teamed up with a time-displaced Sgt. Savage following his accident in Brasnya and the dissolution of Joe Colton's Adventure Force. In the years before G.I. Joe was formed, Team Extreme adventured across the world, battling various period-appropriate threats.
Sgt. Savage eventually disappeared sometime around 2006 after another Talisman-related mishap, leaving the team's fate unclear. Action Man's successor Mike Brogan did not seem to have a connection to the team, suggesting it was decommissioned. When Eagles Scream
Notes
- Team Extreme — wielding ridiculous bandoliers, giant rectangular guns, and shoulder pads — are, of course, a homage to the... distinct visual aesthetic of mainstream 1990s comics, which owe something to the artistic eccentricities of 90's comic artist Rob Liefeld. The name comes from the "Team Xtreme" of the 2000 Action Man cartoon by Mainframe Entertainment, while its version of Action Man and Natalie Poole draw their designs from the 1995 cartoon. In the 1995'series, Action had the catchphrase: Come on team, lets get extreme.
