Brendan Fraser's character is not Gung-Ho. his character's reportedly a sergeant o'connell, tying GI Joe to the Mummy franchise.

No idea where you got that from IMDB and wiki as him listed as uncredited with no character name

it was in a variety of articles i've read. including the one on wikipedia.
Brendan Fraser as a yet-unnamed motorcycle-riding Sergeant. It was initially rumored he would play Gung-Ho, but those rumors turned out false. [23] According to Fraser himself, he plays a motorcycle-riding sergeant who is the descendant of Rick O'Connell, Fraser's own character from Sommers' The Mummy film series. [24]
Brendan Fraser plays a motorcycle-riding sergeant, Gung-Ho, whom he dubbed a "refugee from the Village People". Fraser stated "i'd like to think of him (the character) as a descendant of Rick O'Connell from The Mummy, thus linking both of Sommers' films.[38] Fraser said that he asked to have a cameo in the film after producer Bob Ducsay told him that the project had been green-lit.[39]

Sundance, the second paragraph you got refers to Fraser's chara as Gung-Ho rather than denying (I guess it's a mistake)

Then :zartan: does descend from Imhothep? Then his chamaleonic powers could be based on residual magic inherited from his ancestor ;-) .
