G.I. Joe has a new member in long-time franchise villain Baroness, and now the writer of the upcoming Energon Universe series is explaining how that decision came to be. The Baroness officially joined the team in Energon Universe 2024 Special #1 in a G.I. Joe story by Joshua Williamson, Jason Howard, Mike Spicer, and Rus Wooton, becoming an official member of the team despite her shady past.

Baroness Is a Member of G.I. Joe in the Energon Universe G.I. Joe #1 Variant Cover by David Nakayama In the Energon Universe, the Baroness is actually Anastasia Cisarovna, a wealthy heiress who grew bored with the socialite lifestyle and turned to terrorism instead. After being radicalized at university, Cisarovna trained to become one of the world’s deadliest mercenaries, committing acts of terror on behalf of whoever was willing to pay for her services.

When later assembling his team for Codename: G.I. Joe, Duke surprised his superiors when he chose to recruit the Baroness, but Williamson sees it as an opportunity to bring more drama into the group: Indeed, fans would assume the sole reason Baroness is on the team is to have her eventually betray the Joes and join up with Cobra. The Energon Universe has gotten a lot of mileage in playing fans’ expectations against themselves, so anything is possible in the new continuity.
