(I don't think Delta even requires the Language school) Most of the AF comics were pretty weak at times, and the whole transition from the Baron and Red Jackel to Cobra Commander and Destro was pure garbage. Still I think Spirit should be a Green Beret. Hawk is Delta, and Stalker could quite easily be Delta and Green Beret. SO should Duke.
But Action Force is just not a very official source of anything GIJoe for me. In my personal Joe-Verse I can do whatever I want. (That's how Patton is in charge of Joe Armor and Dr Doom is Destro's cousin) At least with Declassified Larry had a part in that so he filled in some gaps.
I certainly can't argue that Action Force continuity should be the "official" continuity, but since it was actually printed by Marvel, I think it should have more authority than what I imagine for my Joeverse.
Here's what I mean:
1. I'm not saying that Stalker is Delta Force in the Cannon of the Official Joeverse.
2. Action Force has some weight because it was an official Joe Comic printed by Marvel and authorized by Hasbro.
3. Stalker is not necisarrily Delta, but it's plausible. There's enough "room/space" within the continuity to allow for it to be possible.
4. I added Stalker to my custom ODA Team because Stalker should be Special Forces, and so he is in my Joeverse. That's just me; I'm not saying there's any evidence of it in the file cards for the comics. Although, I think he would probably be an 18C because of his EOD qualifications in his later file cards.
5. I'm saying Stalker in Delta is like Roadblock in Special Forces - there's enough evidence to suggest that it's likely, but never made explicit.
I certainly agree that there is always a difference between the official continuity and our own Joeverses... however, I think the Action Force continuity has to be seen as something more than just our own personal continuity. It's closer to the official Joeverse.
