I think most people consider Mercer v1 and Mercer v2 as being the same guy, despite the vastly different filenames and birthplaces ("Felix Stratton" and "Spencer, West Virginia," for the former; "Richard Cecil" and "Richmond, Virginia" for the latter) as well as slightly different affiliations (v1 was a member of
Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades
, v2's filecard mentions that he was a former member of
Sgt. Slaughter's Marauders
). I consider them the same guy, myself (just easier that way). Any theories as to why most Joe fans (of the ones I've talked to here on the 'tank and elsewhere) consider them to be one and the same guy despite all the glaring differences?
Do you consider one a cover identity? Some sort of "witness protection" program identity change-up? Did this ever get brought up in the later comics for a No-Prize?
In my verse they are the same. Being from Virginia I use Version 2 as his true identity. I like to think Felix Stratton was his cover when he first left Cobra, and then later it was revealed he was Richard Cecil. The only way I figure he could be a Sgt Major, was if in fact he was already in the military prior to joining Cobra.
In my verse, Mercer along with Chuckles, and Rourke and probably a few others were sent undercover to penetrate the Cobra organization. Got too hot for Mercer so they had to pull him out. Hawk didn't say anything at first. Later we discover Mercer worked with Hawk before in Delta Force, as one of his Team Sgt. He is basically a bigger badass than most of the Joes.
