What is the real name of the G.I. Joe character Flint?

The G.I. Joe character Flint’s real name is Dashiell R. Faireborn.

Flint is a highly trained G.I. Joe warrant officer and military tactician. His profile identifies him as being born in Wichita, Kansas, and describes him as a Rhodes Scholar with a degree in English literature. He also completed Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces and Flight Warrant Officers School, explaining his reputation as one of the team’s most capable field leaders.

The character was created for the Sunbow animated series in 1984, then introduced in the Marvel comic and toy line in 1985. Flint is closely associated with Lady Jaye; their rivalry gradually develops into a romantic relationship. He has also served with groups including Tiger Force, Eco-Warriors and Night Force.

The main continuity uses Dashiell R. Faireborn. Readers may encounter David R. Faireborn in the British Action Force version, where Flint was presented as English. That regional variation explains the tempting alternative, but it does not replace Dashiell in the standard American G.I. Joe continuity.
