Mercer is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and animated series. He is a member of the G.I. Joe Team as one of Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades and debuted in 1987. Profile His real name is Felix P. Stratton, and his rank is equivalent to that of sergeant E-5. Mercer was born in Spencer, West Virginia. Mercer's primary military specialty is small arms armorer. He was the only known Cobra Viper to defect to the G.I. Joe team and survive. He joined Cobra for the adventure and promise of material gain, but soon grew disenchanted with Cobra's philosophy. He was able to escape from Cobra Island by hot-wiring a hydrofoil and outrunning his pursuers across the Gulf of Mexico. Mercer is proficient with all of Cobra's small arms and explosive devices. The Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades sub team does not officially exist, and they don't answer to anyone but themselves. They are able to function with very little restraint, but on the other hand they are on their own if they become compromised.
