He seems to be a different character from the original Ace, as he has a different filename ("Wendall Armbruster") and birthplace ("Seattle, Washington"). The
original 1983 Ace
's filename was "Brad Armbruster" and birthplace was "Providence, Rhode Island." And while Joes' "jobs" can and have changed with subsequent releases, I think the difference in their specialties (the original Ace was a fighter pilot, Ace v2 was a helicopter pilot) is pronounced enough that the case can be made that they're two different characters.
Anybody know definitively if this was some sort of mistake, a deliberate attempt to rewrite the 1983 character's history, or a new character altogether?
When stuff like this happens - and this is not an isolated incedent - I think there's room for disagreement. I would want to see Ace v2 as a seperate character... mainly because I need more pilots. However, the name Armbruster is pretty uncommon. I'm sure most Joe fans would consider v2 to be the same character. Maybe they're related? Cousins? Brothers?
