Yeah, that would be totally cool if you ever got paid to do this. I'm in a similar situation, except I decided to take it outside of GI Joe. I decided I wanted to create an elite military unit that could be traced back to the days leading up to World War II, being restructured and repopulated as the years progress, up to the present and beyond to a point three or four decades into the future when apocalypse is brought about. Very GI Joe, the key difference being that in this alternate reality, the team would also function as a BPRD-type force, because I'd also drawn heavily on mythology, parapsychology, MK-Ultra, Lovecraftian stuff with all sorts of miscellaneous stuff thrown in, like zombies, vampires, and other monsters and theoretical tech like Tesla's weapons. Sort of like the X-Files, GI Joe and Hellboy rolled into one. I've got a lot of the characters developed, a structure to the story arc, drawn out some summaries at key points along the storyline, and have a good first couple of chapters written. I don't know what I'm going to do with it when I'm finished. I would like to be able to write Cobra into the story, but I'd hate to have to go back and take it out if it ever went to print due to copyright infringement, so I just felt it was easier to start it all from scratch. I am intent on using some real historical figures, like Nikola Tesla, Howard Buechner and Hans-Ulrich Rudel.
Aside from the characters military background and training, have you ever written up any bios for your versions of these characters?
