CHIP CHASE was a man who demanded total perfection in body and mind. A master programmer, he defied the “basement nerd” stereotype by running several miles a day and working out almost religiously. He was powerful, smart, and strong, and looked down on anyone not as well-developed mentally and physically as he was – which was almost everyone. He cracked high-level secure mainframes for fun, and probably knew more about what G.I. Joe was up to than even President Colton. In 2011, Chip Chase died after being shoved into a boars den by Buster Witwicky.
