I want Indy to be a contemporary with Colton, maybe a little older, but still young enough to be able to go out on missions.
I was watching National Treasure the other night and that along with Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and Da Vinci Code got me thinking about secret societies and all that kind of stuff and wondering how can integrate it into the Joeverse.
Troynos, I thought you had Cobra or the COIL as some kind of secret society? If that's not enough, how about all the Ivy Leaguers on the Joe Team as members of St. Anthony Hall (it's a secret fraternal organization like YALE's Skull & Bones Society, but it's at most of the Ivy League Schools). I imagine Xamot and Tomax could be in something like that. Maybe Taurus from the Renegades... he's a gypsy. Flagg and some others might have been Masons... that's big in Virginia, and in the military in general.
About Indiana Jones - obviously you can do whatever you want in your Joeverse, but if we're talking about the character Harrison Ford played in the movies, he's simply not Colton's contemporary. He's too old. The man fought in WWI and WWII. That character was born in the late 1800's in Princeton, NJ, fought in WWI as a part of the Belgium Army and later in the French Secret Service, where he was commissioned as an officer and worked as a spy. He returned home after the war and attended the University of Chicago, majoring in Archeology. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in the same field and was a tenured professor of Archeology at Marshall College and later at Barnett College. He then went on to serve in the U.S. Army in WWII in the O.S.S., eventually achieving the rank of Colonel before leaving the Army and returning to teaching/adventuring.
So, like I said, do whatever you want, but if you want a companion for Colton that's a contemporary, you might try Rambo.
