Two defectors from Cobra were Ana Lewis and Storm Shadow
Duke and Ripcord first encounter the G.I. Joes when most of their own squad is taken out during a mission to protect a case containing nanomite warheads. The Joes rescue them and although they try to take over the mission, Duke insists upon retaining control of the case, as it is his mission. Later, he manages to talk his way onto the team along with Ripcord by providing information on the Baroness, a woman he was once engaged to and that he knew as Ana Lewis. The two then successfully pass the training required to be proper members of G.I. Joe and join the group in thwarting the ambitions of Cobra.G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Sometime after this, Duke rises through the ranks and becomes the leader of an elite G.I. Joe team. Serving under him are Roadblock, Lady Jaye, Flint, Mouse and Snake Eyes. During a mission to secure nuclear warheads in Pakistan, both Mouse and Duke are taken out an airstrike orchestrated by Zartan, who has secretly replaced the President of the United States. Roadblock then takes over the team and he and the remaining members, with the help of the original founder of the G.I. Joes: General Joe Colton, work to thwart a new threat from Cobra known as Project Zeus.G.I. Joe: Retaliation
