->'''Voiced By:''' Pat Fraley (''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'', Sunbow series), Alistair Abell (''Valor vs. Venom''), Gavin Hammon (''VideoGame/GIJoeOperationBlackout'')
Air Force captain, and lead fighter pilot.
----
* TheAce: This goes beyond his CodeName:
** AcePilot: As his name may suggest, he is a well-seasoned pilot.
** CardSharp: His codename comes from his love for cutthroat poker, which he ''never loses... and he doesn't even cheat!''.
** TheGamblingAddict: This would normally not be accepted in the military, but as Hawk states that it's not really gambling since he always wins.
* CaptainCrash: He holds the dubious record for more [[CrashCourseLanding crash landings]] in the USAF. This doesn't mean he is an awful pilot, but a survivor of the worst dogfights most fighter pilots have ever seen.
** TheDreaded: Some in the upper brass even doubt about sending him on missions fearing his multi-million dollar aircraft ends up as a pile of smouldering junk.
* CoolPlane: Though fully rated on all of the Joes' fixed-wing craft, he's most closely associated with his original plane, the [[{{Expy}} XP-14F]] ''Sky Striker'' [[note]]Expy on the RealLife F-14 Tomcat[[/note]].
* IntercontinuityCrossover: It was implied he later became Sabre Jet of the Earth Corps, who fought against the WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}. (That said, [[YouDontLookLikeYou he didn't look or sound like the same person]]; most likely the production team hadn't caught wind of this idea.)
* OldSchoolDogfight[=/=]SkyConsumingDogfight: His specialty, and the reason why he was summoned to the Joes.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Ripcord and Wild Bill.
* WorthyOpponent:
** Wild Weasel. In a memorable Rattler-against-Skystriker dogfight (Vol. 1 #34). Both fought until they were mutually out of ammo, saluted, and flew back to their bases.
** Ripcord, in the poker table.

[[caption-width-right:100:"Some people think a great view means a serene mountain scene, mine is clear line to the enemy and an open path from bomb to bunker."]]
The sister of Barrell Roll and Blackout, Bombstrike became a capable soldier in her own right, serving as a Forward Air Controller in the Air Force before joining the Joes as an infiltration specialist.
----
* ActionGirl: She trains alongside ninjas (Snake-Eyes, Jinx, Budo, and Helix) and has no real problem keeping up. She also proved pretty handy with a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gijoe/images/e/ea/Bombstrike5.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190519050247 lightsaber]].
* AscendedExtra: In the ARAH comic, she gets more focus than either of her brothers.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Analyzes intelligence imagery, then makes the call to "pull the trigger or slip away undetected."
* TheFettered: What separates her from the likes of Blackout.
-->'''Leila:''' Why did you leave him alive? Aren't you going to kill him?\\
'''Bombstrike:''' No, that's not how we operate. I had no choice with the OPF Insurgents, but killing the Black Major would have been a summary execution. We abide by the rules.
* MadeOfIron: Survives getting shot in the head. Deconstructed:
-->'''Bombstrike:''' Weak load. Hit my skull at an angle and didn't have the velocity to penetrate. So it skidded around through my temple through skin and bone and popped out the back of my scalp. Got a bad headache, but no wound channel through my cerebral cortex.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Plays soccer when she's off duty, and it was there she learned the importance of calculating what will give her team the winning move of the day.

[[caption-width-right:100:"It's O.K. General, don't worry. Nobody remembers my code name."]]
The Joes' stealth pilot, not to be confused with the [[ComicBook/GhostRider superhero of the same name]].
----
* AlliterativeName: '''J'''onas '''J'''effries.
* BeneathNotice: His main job is to stay out-of-radar for thats his X-19 ''Phantom'' shtick but personally he does just the same and this is apparently of his own volition; his ActionFigureFileCard points out that he's been trying to be invisible the best he can since he was in second grade.
* NiceGuy: He's notably cheerful and friendly at all times, and it doesn't bother him that nobody remembers his namey.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Inverted as the Joes can't ever remember what his codename is, and refer to him as "pal" or "stealth pilot"; sometimes they remember his file name and just call him "Captain Jeffries". This was to avoid confusion during Marvel's run of the comics, especially since they would soon be relaunching their ''Ghost Rider'' series.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A long, bright red one.
* WritingAroundTrademarks:
** As stated above, Ghostrider was never addressed by his codename in the Marvel Comics continuity because of the risk of getting confused with the similarly-named Marvel Comics superhero Ghost Rider. The trend continued when he resurfaced in [[ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroIDW the IDW continuation]], either because Larry Hama was requested to not use the codename by Marvel's attorneys or because he deliberately chose to continue the gag of not using his codename.
** ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe'' references this practice in the sixth issue, where Ghostrider's introduction has his codename on the provided narration box partially obscured.

----
* AcePilot: ...IN SPACE! Although he's also a USAF Colonel who flies fighters as well as space shuttles.
* AlliterativeName: '''M'''ark '''M'''organ.
* TheBridge: His workplace, from there on he has to maneuver in order to survive in an OldSchoolDogfight, recover some friendly SpySatellites or destroy the Cobra's latest KillSat.
* InSpaceEveryoneCanSeeYourFace: ...it's a given since standard SpaceClothes fashion is very limited.
* SpaceFighter: The ''Crusader'' doubles as this, for it contained a small recon/fighter jet called The ''Avenger'' armed with twin laser cannons.
* SpaceStation: The original ''Defiant'' was part of a full complex, once in space it was docked to a proper station called The ''U.S. Booster''.
* StandardSciFiFleet: Sadly Payload's most prominent moments in the original Marvel saga came around 1993, when the franchise itself went south and had to draw upon this tired old cliché, having to fight against Cobra's own Sci-Fi mooks and some sort of SpaceOrcs called the ''Lunatrix'' empire.
* ThoseTwoGuys: As friendly and open as he is, his bestie is his taciturn "Mission control guy", Hardtop. He even admits that "Affirmative" and "Over" is the most he hears him to say while working on regular basis.
