Pre-G.I. Joe[]
Wallace Weems participated in a HALO mission led by Conrad Hauser. When Hauser got stuck in a tree, Weems helped him down - the fast way.

While the rest of the team creates a diversion, "Weemsie" makes a move for the door of their target - a simple trailer loaded with computers - and takes a round in the chest as the big Russian inside defends his position.

While she initially ignores him, he comforts her after her loss to the Baroness and saves her in Paris after the Baroness blows her off her motorcycle.
