Description Name: Cord Dexter Lemoyne
Group: Wetworks
First Appearance: WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams #2
(October 1992)

When Jackson Dane requested that Dexter LeMoyne be transferred into his Team-7 squad, LeMoyne's Navy Seal bosses were glad to see the back of him, as they considered him a troublemaker. LeMoyne had a checkered past, complete with a conviction for voluntary manslaughter, and his problems with authority saw him jailed, so he was glad to accept his new assignment. Soon afterward Dane's squad was sent on a suicide mission and betrayed by their superiors. They became bonded to experimental symbiotes which granted them great powers, renamed themselves Wetworks, and went to war with the supernatural Night Tribes. Jester remained with the squad until it finally disbanded.

Jester's capacity for violence is matched only by his talent for self-destruction, and his time in the field is exceeded by time in the brig. When on a mission, Jester is a highly effective assassin, but his long-range military career was constantly under question by his disregard for the chain of command and his prison record.

After serving a long term in SEAL Team 6, his superiors were only too happy to give a troublemaker like Dexter LeMoyne over to Colonel Dane's Team 7 unit.

Jester went rogue with the rest of his team after being sent on a suicide mission by their superiors. The team adopted the callsign WetWorks and fought in a war between the Vampire and Werewolf nations.

Reading his tendency for putting his life at unworthy risks, his symbiote concluded he didn't need his body in its present form. So he replaced it. With no organic body, current medical science would label him as dead. When he learned and understood that, it was a big shock for him and the team. It was the obvious sign, with Dozer's growth, that the symbiotes were indeed permanently affecting their hosts.

Nevertheless, his newfound ability to shape his body at will proved quite useful. In the course of the saga, he transformed his arms into guns, transformed his whole body to take the place of Pilgrim's sniper rifle, took the appearance of various people or animals, and cover a teammate like a blanket to give him another person's appearance. He even fully transformed into a werewolf to fight him on an equal foot. It also led to weird situations, like when Claymore shot through his head to kill a blindsiding opponent. After all, a hole in the head is nothing when one can fill it instantly.

However, Jester is still vulnerable to mental attacks, like when Drakken turned his mind into a wreck so he was unable to keep a coherent shape and was thereby rendered useless.
