A GI Joe costume that fans of the female gender will want to wear is the Baroness costume. The Baroness is part of the evil Cobra Command, a ruthless terrorist organization created as the nemesis of the GI Joe Team when the franchise was rebooted in 1982. Although the character was not part of the initial GI Joe: A Real American Hero release in 1982, she did appear in GI Joe #1, published by Marvel Comics in June 1982 and was, in fact, the first character to crossover from the comics, into the animated series. She also kept her GI Joe costume from the switch from the comics to the animated series.

The Baroness is known for being as ruthless and intelligent as she is beautiful. Working intelligence for Cobra Command, she is the right-hand woman of Cobra Commander and the girl friend of Destro. As with any other Cobra Command operatives, she is determined to rule the world.
