Who is Low-Light?

Origin Low-Light was born Cooper G. MacBride in Crosby, North Dakota. There is some debate about the true nature of Low-Light's upbringing. As a youth Low-light was afraid of the dark, animals, and was very timid. His filecard for his Hasbro action figure stated he overcame this by getting lost in the woods while on a hunting trip with his father. He returned ten days later with only a flashlight and his rifle and a "grin from ear-to-ear". However, in the G.I. Joe Order of Battle , Cooper's father made him overcome his fear of the dark by forcing him to stay in the county dump over night and could not return until he killed 20 rats.
