I have to add, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Firefly's identities should remain anonymous.. it for me remains to be one of the biggest killers in a character.. primarily as that air of curiosity and unknown past I think is the strength of the character.. once a character is unmasked it just ruins his aura.. I look back at all the wrestlers that have had masks.. and they too have been ruined most recently and noteably kane is a prime example.

I have to agree that if parts of fireflys past are to be revealed fair enough.. but his full name, place of birth etc and full face shot should never be shown.. same for snake eyes and storm shadow..

Snake Eyes is cool.. in my Joe verse he's never going to be unmasked and will remain cool because I dont use him in every story. With anything that gets overused it will become long drawn out and boring.. I have heard lots of people that got tired of hearing about the soap opera side and how when the joes were down they constantly had snake eyes defeat everyone..

Kind of silly really because I always thought in the military the big thing was Team Work.. yet in the later issues it sure sounds like GIJOE go against this and just have Super Hero Snake Eyes defeat everyone.
