Shipwreck is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe series of toys, cartoons and comics. He was originally created as a character for the Sunbow cartoon series in 1984, and later produced as an action figure, and finally introduced into the comic book in 1985.

According to his file card, his real name is Hector X. Delgado and born in Chula Vista, California. He is a sailor in the US Navy. He grew up near the San Diego Navy Yards. He enlisted in the Navy at 16, after getting permission from his parents. He participated in patrolling and engaged in action in the Mekong Delta and served on carrier operations in the Middle East before joining the G.I. Joe Team.

The character first appeared in the 1985 edition of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy series as a sailor in the Joe Team. Despite being a fairly popular character, it was not until nine years later (1994) that he received a second version of his action figure, this time revamped as a Navy SEAL. All later figures have used his status as a SEAL since. He also had a 12" edition figure produced as part of the G.I.Joe vs. Cobra line. Though Shipwreck did not appear in the G.I. Joe: Sigma Six TV series, a figure in his likeness was released.

Shipwreck’s first appearance was in issue #40 (October 1985) of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comics published by Marvel Comics where he played a major role in the story, along with Barbecue. This concerns the testing of a mobile weapons platform. He then helps the Joes deal with the aquatic effects of the creation of Cobra Island. The Joes make a pre-emptive attack on the island but are ordered off before anything definite happens. . In issue #51, he and Alpine are part of a squad sent out to stop Zartan's escape attempt. The two team up to stop a Dreadnok "Swamp-Copter"; Alpine launches a hooked rope at it and Shipwreck ties it to a nearby tank. This works, gaining them temporary custody of Zarana and her brother Zandar. A spray of machine-gun fire from the Thunder Machine sends Shipwreck diving for his life and the prisoners escape. Shipwreck has a cameo as part of a Joe team spying on Cobra Island.
