Scarlett was an original 13 and the first female on the Joe team. At the time this was an interesting move having a female character in a toy line aimed at young boys.

Today i delve into the filecard of the G.I. Joe character Scarlett. She has “Intelligence” listed as her PMS and “Classified” as SMS.
