Shockwave is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series. He is the G.I. Joe Team's S.W.A.T. specialist and debuted in 1988.
His real name is Jason A. Faria, and his rank is that of corporal E-4. Shockwave was born in Dearborn, Michigan.
Shockwave's primary military specialty is Special Weapons and Tactics, and his secondary military specialty is choir. Shockwave was the youngest member of the Detroit Police Department S.W.A.T. Team, and had earned two citations for bravery before joining the G.I. Joe Team. Shockwave is his S.W.A.T. Team's door kicker – the first one inside, and the first to find out how bad the situation really is. As a member of a choir, he is also a tenor.
Shockwave was first released as an action figure in 1988.
The figure was repainted and released as part of the Night Force line in 1989, packaged with Lightfoot.
A new version of Shockwave was released as an action figure in 1992, as part of the DEF (Drug Elimination Force) line.
A new version of the toy was named Shockblast and released in a 25th anniversary style two-pack with Destro in 2008. Shockblast was recolored in 2009 and released in a two-pack with a Night Creeper as part of the Rise of Cobra toyline.
In the Marvel Comics G.I. Joe series, he first chronologically appeared in G.I. Joe Special Missions #17 (Jan 1989).
In G.I. Joe #86, he is with a team of Joes who respond to an emergency call from a facility at the top of the Chrysler Building. Shockwave, Hawk, Lightfoot, Repeater and Stalker learn the facility is part of the Strategic Defense Initiative and controls a 'death ray' that Cobra wishes to copy. The Joes successfully keep the information out of Cobra hands.
