	Games - General Flagg

General Flagg is the code name as well as the rank and surname of two characters from the toyline, cartoon and comic series, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.

The two characters are related by blood, the first General Flagg being the father of the second. They are Lawrence J. Flagg, the father, and James Flagg III, the son. The five generations of Flaggs before them made careers in the military. Both became commanding officers in the G.I. Joe Team.

General Flagg I

Lawrence J. Flagg is a Brigadier General in the US Army. He is responsible for creating Special Counter-Terrorist Group Delta, code named G.I. Joe, in response to rising terrorist threats, especially the evil Cobra Organization. He is the first commander of the G.I. Joe Team but often spent time in an administrative role. He was killed by Major Bludd during a major Cobra attack on the Pit, the Joe Team's headquarters.

This version of Flagg did not receive his own action figure. He did appear in the first G.I. Joe animated mini-series The MASS Device but for the course of the series' run, he never appeared again.

General Flagg II

James Longstreet Flagg III is the son of Gen. Lawrence Flagg and he was born in Alexandria, Virginia. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. In a short time, he is able to rise up to the rank of Brigadier General.

This version of Flagg is introduced only in the toys, he has yet to appear in any other media incarnations. Interestingly, the third version of his action figure is based on his father's often appearance in Army dress uniform.
