So, I liked the idea of using Recondo as sort of a "make shift" sniper.
I once read a web page where the author was a huge Beach-Head fan. So in his Joeverse, Beach-Head was a sniper and a hand-to-hand specialist. Beach-Head could do it all in this guy's Joeverse.
So, here's my question/discussion topic:
In your Joeverse, have you ever given a character an ability or a skill that there was no real justification for, just because it was cool? Or, have you given them an unjustified qualification that you think can be reasonably extrapolated?
For example, Flint's 8" figure file card has him listed as a Martial Artist on par with Snake-Eyes. It goes on to say that Flint and Snake-Eyes work as partners with the same level of expertise and that they're a complimentary team. This was new information for me, but it gave me an idea...
In my Joeverse, Flint is a serious hand-to-hand combatant. He's right up there (almost) with Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow (who are both toned WAY down from the later Marvel Comics). Flint's skills are on par with nearly anyone in the Joeverse.
Another case in point: The U.S. Army Rangers have opened a center for Hand-to-hand combat skills. It's serious stuff. So, all my serious Rangers... Beach-Head, Repeater, Recoil, Roadblock, Stalker, Side Track v2, Skydive, Duke, etc. who don't already have hand-to-hand expertise (like Claymore) are also considered to have some expertise in hand-to-hand combat.
Do you guys have any body that you've designated with additional expertise?
