JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - Our Joeverses:Volume 1:GI Joe

Okay everybody,I've been looking at a lot of Joe Custom and Dio- Sites and was inspired to talk about how each of us has our own "take" on Joe,Cobra,and misc.

So-Vol.1-How Do You See The GI Joe Team In Your "Joeverse"?

For me,first of all-it's still 1988-1989.The Soviet Union still exists,but Glasnost is in effect,and The Oktober Guard is more an enemy of Cobra than GI Joe.

I do not use the Movie as Background-( I like the Movie,but I view it as an "alternate Joeverse

) I do use Sgt. Slaughter and The Renegades,because I like them.

Joe Colton exists,but he is a retired "inspiration" for the Joes,not an Active-Duty Commander. Hawk is my GI Joe Commander,aided by Keel-Haul( Naval Ops C.O.) General Flagg III (Executive Officer & Pentagon Go-Between),Colonel Courage(Operations)Skystriker(Air Ops)Major Storm(Armored Vehicles and Logistics)Lt. Falcon(Intelligence). I do not use "Capt. Grid-Iron".Training is handled by Sgt. Slaughter & Beach Head,aided by some of the "First Thirteen". Duke is senior Enlisted Man and Top Sergeant,even though some Enlisted Joes technically "rank him",because he has vast combat leader experience and has earned the trust and respect of Hawk and the entire Team.Hawk has stated"Duke answers to ME,and ME ALONE." Duke ALWAYS calls the Officers "Sir",even when giving them orders.

Most Missions are lead by Duke,Stalker,Flint,Scarlett,or Lady Jaye.Falcon often leads missions,but usually leads the Recon Team to gather intelligence for his Teammates.

None of the Joes are dead in my Joeverse except General Flagg II (Flagg III's father) and Joe Trainee Mangler.

I see the GI Joe Team as a "Band Of Brothers And Sisters" that are sent on dirty Covert missions by a Pentagon and National Command Authority (NCA) that don't care about them and view them as Expendable.

Relationships:Flint and Lady Jaye are long-term lovers,Scarlett finds her Heart torn between Snake-Eyes and Duke.Cover-Girl has so far resisted all attempts at romance,and Jinx and Falcon are interested in each other.( my Falcon is the disciplined Green Beret from the comic,not "Duke's Half-Brother from the Movie" ).Bombstrike hasn't met anyone she likes romantically yet.

In my -verse,only trained Aviators can fly Skystrikers or X-30's,not the entire Team.

Well,that's about it! After everybody gets a chance to talk about the "GI Joe" side of their Joe-Verse,we will move on to Cobra,then to misc. matters. Please feel free to include Action Force,Commandos de Acao,or whoever is your "Joe" Team
