Marvel Comics In the
Marvel Comics G.I. Joe series, he first appeared in issue #64. He joins the team with multiple Joes, including the undercover specialist
Chuckles. The two had not quite gotten the clearance to know that there is anything below ground at the new Joe base. They do not understand and are highly suspicious of clues pointing to the official Joe space shuttle, the
USS Defiant. Multiple Joes appearing from a secret trapdoor did not help. He appears in #67 to help assist in the difficult tensions that arise when the captured Joes,
Quick-Kick,
Snow-Job and
Stalker finally return. He "suggests" that
Scarlett and
Snake Eyes' defiance of orders that led to the trio's safe return was mental instability caused by a close call with a "land mine" (actually, a rigged explosion). Psyche-Out provides analysis when a Joe team sets up a Sierra Gordo terrorist group to attack the
New York Cobra Consulate building. Psyche-Out provides advice based on overhead communications; this allows the team to successfully plant spy equipment inside the building. Psyche-Out,
Lt. Falcon and
Slip Stream go in on foot to
Afghanistan to acquire and trick three Russian prisoners into rescuing a C.I.A. chief. Both groups end up tricking each other. Psyche-Out is also accused of (and admits to) being overeager in analyzing his teammates. Psyche-Out leads a secondary assault team during the
Cobra Island civil war. They lose one vehicle, the Slugger, in the swamps, but make their objective, the neutralization of the western defense line.
Devil's Due Psyche-Out makes a cameo in the
Devil's Due Joe series. He is one of many Joes that have been called back to active duty to face the renewed threat of Cobra. The Joes are spread out to many separate bases; all with cover disguises.

Serpentor and the fall of The Coil, he was seen evaluating the young child clones of Serpentor, who were now in the custody of the U.S. government. Psyche-Out assists in routing Joe assets all across the world after Cobra has caused planet-wide damage.
IDW He is seen supervising a Cobra prisoner at the new desert location of the
