1ST APPEARANCE: G.I.JOE: ARISE, SERPENTOR, ARISE
DIAL-TONE is the communications man for the Joe team. It is said that his job is to call for help when things get hairy. He is a bit of a nerd and the circumstances of his enlistment were so special that he has always had the chance of being discharged.
DIAL-TONE joined in time to try to stop SERPENTOR from being created. Afterwards, he went on a number of missions as the radio man. One of the missoins he went on was to find the location of the 1st Annual Cobrathon. He was also part of the group assigned to protect a vial of nerve toxin.
DIAL-TONE was finally discharged from the Joes. After a short time living alone, he was approached by a mysterious woman to be part of a dig of an old Scottish castle. The woman was really ZARANNA, and he was actually supposed to use his skills to help awaken a monster buried in Castle Destro. The Joes rescued him and it was revealed that his discharge was faked to lure Cobra. HAWK apologized to DIAL-TONE and reinstated him.
DIAL-TONE, LEATHERNECK, and WET-SUIT were all trapped in a nightclub that was actually a Cobra missle. The three worked together and managed to save themselves and the other club patrons. Later DIAL-TONE was one of the three Joes that were promoted to colonel as part of a Cobra plot. DIAL-TONE ended up getting in the way of the other colonels and the three ended up leading the Joes through an invasion of Joe Headquarters. HAWK appeared and saved the day. He later explained that out of the two things needed to led, desire and ability, DIAL-TONE only had desire.
DIAL-TONE was part of the expedition that tested out the BET. Later he helped pinpoint the BET'S location in the Himilayas and took part in retaking it from Cobra.
