Hot on the tail of his Admiral Ledgers Dossier Video, Hisstank.com forum member skinny has posted another Biography very similiar to his Kwinn the Eskimo video, this time focusing on none other that Billy!
Billy Kessler is another character from the GIJOE comic series. He is the son of Cobra Commander. He has been an integral part of the series written by Larry Hama until recently when the final nail was placed in his coffin. Brainwashed several times by Dr. Venom’s brainwave scanner, at one point Dr.Venom’s mind even took over Billy’s body. Billy has appeared in the Marvel, Image, DDP and IDW comic series.At this time there has never been an official Billy figure in any of his costumes. As you can see there are several costumes that Billy has worn over the years. There are three that get the most attention however, and those are “Cub Scout” Billy, Storm Shadow apprentice Billy, and older Billy.
There was an official poll done by Hasbro to make a Billy figure but he lost to the character called Doc.
Billy is known as William Kessler Latta in the IDW series “Cobra Files”. Billy has been part of GIJOE comics as early as issue #10 to today. It will be interesting to see if there is ever a figure made of any of his incarnations.
Once you’ve enjoyed the biography, share your thoughts with skinny on his latest work after the jump!

Kreon Billy should not be that hard with a SS body, MAJ Bludd head and brown hair from any number of figures.

Been my #1 wanted figure for the last 20 years. I think people are sick of me asking every joe con.
I think you can argue that he is the center of the gi joe marvel mythos. It all revolves around billy!
Dem_Yoe'z! says
Count me on the list for wanting an official figure! How hard could it be to slap a new head on the ultimate SS body and call it Billy??
