- Mutt is a member of G.I. Joe from the G.I. Joe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A master at his trade, Mutt has been raising and training dogs since childhood. He gets along quite well with them... far better than he gets along with his fellow Joes, in fact.
Don't cross him, or else you risk having a snarling beast set upon you. And then if there's anything left of you, his trusty dog Junkyard will have it as a snack.

Mutt was one of the unlucky Joes who formed the first line of defense around Power Station Alpha, making him not only among the first to deal with Bumblebee but also among the first to deal with a furious Superion. Blood on the Tracks Rather than just count his lucky stars that Superion abandoned the fight (possibly due to Mutt's mouthwash, or lack thereof), he opted to question Hawk and Sergeant Slaughter as to what would make the giant robot leave.
Later, when Serpentor ordered some Rattler pilots to strafe a cruise liner in order to create a diversion, Mutt was among the Joes ordered to help evacuate the wounded vessel. Power Struggle

All three were soon knocked out by an invisible Zartan, who had infiltrated the complex using Decepticon cloaking technology. Mutt and Quick Kick eventually got up and followed the sound of their attacker's footsteps, with Mutt wanting to get even with him for hurting his dog. However, once the two Joes reached Zartan, they found that he had an accomplice in the form of Ravage.
Mutt fought bravely but futilely against the snarling robot jaguar, getting multiple cuts and having his leg fractured during the fight.
