baroness (g.i. joe)

A fictional female character from the G.I. Joe toyline by Hasbro, originally appearing in the G.I. Joe comic series.

The Baroness is a villainess, associated with G.I. Joe's nemesis terrorist organization, Cobra Command.

Baroness serves as Cobra's intelligence officer and capable lieutenant to Cobra Commander. With long black hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a black leather outfit, Baroness is a dark, sensual femme fatale whose beauty is matched only by her ruthlessness.

Although the character was not part of the initial G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline release in 1982, she did appear in G.I. Joe #1, published by Marvel Comics in June 1982 and was, in fact, the first character to cross over from the comics into the animated series and finally into the toy line.

She made her debut as an action figure in the 1984 toy series, wearing a new dark uniform that was then carried back over to the comic and cartoon.

Sienna Miller portrays The Baroness as one of the primary antagonists of Stephen Sommers' 2009 live action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra .
