George Washington "G. W." Bridge is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a former mercenary and high-ranking agent of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Little is known about George Washington Bridge's early youth. He prefers to call himself "G. W." to avoid any jokes about the actual George Washington Bridge. A seventeen-year-old G. W. served in the Vietnam War before later using his military skills to become a highly skilled mercenary and a part of the Wild Pack, a group of mercenaries gathered by Cable. Other members included Theodore Winchester (Grizzly), Domino, Garrison Kane, and Eugene Eisenhower "Ike" Canty (Hammer). In one mission, Bridge and the others experienced Cable's teleportation technology, a beneficial but shocking surprise. After several successful missions, the Wild Pack was hired by Mr. Tolliver, an arms dealer, under the condition that they changed their name; agents from Silver Sable had let them know that the name "Wild Pack" was taken. The team renamed itself Six Pack and went on the mission. The mission turned out to be disastrous, as they encountered Stryfe, Cable's archenemy. Cable shot Hammer in order to prevent him from surrendering vital intelligence. Cable then left using futuristic technology that was unable to carry the other members of the team. This act convinced Six Pack that Cable purposely abandoned them. In the ensuing destruction, Kane lost both of his arms. Bridge, Domino, and Grizzly managed to escape. Kane and Hammer survived, but were heavily injured. Hammer would use a wheelchair for the rest of his life, while Kane would receive cybernetic replacements for the arms he lost.
