Story

In the original Final Fight, Cody teams up with Guy and The Mayor of Metro City, Mike Haggar to save Jessica (Cody's girlfriend and Haggar's daughter) from Belger, the leader of the Mad Gear gang. Cody takes on many of Mad Gear's worst thugs. He defeats Damnd, Edi. E (who disgusts Cody when he learns this particular gang member is a cop), and follows a dog (Shiro) in the Bay Area to Abigail, who he crushes when the thug makes comments that his girlfriend is probably having a 'good time' with Belger. Eventually, Cody takes down Belger personally (being the one to uppercut him out of the window at the top of the building they were fighting at) with the help of Guy and Haggar, and rescues Jessica. He is then celebrated as the hero of Metro City, but tells his girlfriend that he can't sit still while evil stalks the streets, and leaves the city for traveling. Storywise, it shows that Cody has probably become an adrenaline junkie who is now addicted to fighting.

Cody reappeared in Final Fight Revenge. He has returned from a year of traveling to Metro City, where he learns that the Mad Gear is beginning to reform and Jessica is kidnapped again. Hoping to prove himself that he is Jessica's hero, he again tries to come to her rescue, battling many thugs along the way, but sadly, would be set up for the crimes of Mad Gear member Poison and the many street fights he was taking part in allowed him to get arrested by Edi. E. It is unknown what happens to Jessica at this point, though in Final Fight 3 she is shown to be okay.

In Street Figher Alpha 3, Cody broke out of prison after a riot ensued. During his travels, he met up with Edi. E (who is trying recapture him into custody), Rolento, and even Guy once more. Rolento wanted him to join his militant movement, which Cody refused after a heated argument (it's unknown if they had actually fought). Guy, meanwhile, wanted to reform Cody and get him back on the good path, but Cody said that he was no hero, and basically lived for fighting. The two then had their own battle (Cody seemingly egging Guy on and welcoming it), but after the two calmed down, Guy accepted that his friend had to live his own life. The two separated afterwards when Guy asked if Cody would stay in Metro City, but Cody said he still had traveling to do. Guy bid him farewell, realizing that deep down inside, Cody is still a good person.

It is believed that after Cody got out of prison, he retired from mainstream street fighting due to his knees going out on him and has since taken to coaching his little brother Kyle into being a pit fighter. He eventually disappears during this time, kidnapped by a crime lord known as "The Stiff", which leads to his brother Kyle starting a mission to save his older brother. Cody begins to fight in the pits again, but soon gets caught up in "glow" which makes you feel no pain, perfect for Cody's knees. Cody is eventually chosen to become one of the four horseman, death. In the last instant, despite supposedly being under the control of the "glow", Cody saves Kyle from getting shot. After all is said and done Cody is in the hospital where it was said he would make a full recovery, it is also implied that his knees are feeling "better than ever".

Appearance

In his initial appearances, from Final Fight up to Street Fighter Alpha 2, he wore hand wraps, a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, he appeared in a blue and white striped prison uniform with handcuffs alongside the aformentioned hand wraps and tennis shoes. In the upcoming game Final Fight: Streetwise, Cody wears his classic original outfit, but with an orange prison shirt over the t-shirt.

Gameplay

In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Cody gained new special moves and super combos. Capcom used Joe's fighting moves for Cody in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Cody makes reference to this enrichment of his fighting style in one of his SFA3 win quotes, stating that it is good to know "more than two moves" after such a long absence.
