With the Aviation guys done, I'm now shifting my attention to the Plans and Programs Directorate of the GI Joe team (basically the unit's overall HQ that oversees everything, from the military element headed by Hawk, the special activities element headed by Cullen Esterhazy, and the domestic anti-terrorism element headed by Cutter).
Here are the three guys making up the Plans Council (I'd already posted my take on Admiral Dyson from the comics, whom I've code-named Freeboard, so I won't be reposting the image here) along with a member of the Support Section:
Eagle-Eye, Ironside, Corvus, Brainstorm
Eagle-Eye is my take on the original GI Joe, Joseph Colton. The code-name "Eagle-Eye" is taken from the
1976 Eagle-Eye GI Joe figure
(I thought it would be too cheesy having the leader of an organization code-named GI Joe having the same code-name as the organization he heads). I have him as the team's Director, a retired spec-ops officer fresh from his stint as a military analyst for the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence. I like the idea of the Joe team being headed by a civilian with extensive military experience instead of just a straight-up active duty military man (so you don't get the institutional myopia that's seen in many homogeneous organisations)
Ironside is my version of General Aaron B. Austin, the guy who succeeded General Flagg as the team's commander in the comics after Flagg's death at the hands of Major Bludd. And yeah, Iron-Butt was his actual nickname in the comics. He'll be the team's Deputy Director.
Corvus is my codename for Samuel Hollingsworth, the guy who succeeded Austin in the comics. He'll be the team's senior counterterrorism analyst.
Brainstorm is based on the IDW support character. He's not a part of the Plans Council... he'll be one of the subject matter experts comprising the Directorate's support section, his specialty being the scientific and technical analysis of weapons technology. I based his appearance on
, a brilliant chemist and leading nanomaterials researcher at the university I used to work in.
Thanks for looking!
