But without Hasbro: would ninjas have been there as much? would Duke have been there? Stuff like that.
You know, Duke was never really a central figure in the marvel run. It was Flint more then Duke, and Duke was taking orders from Falcon on a mission once (the one that started the whole Trucial Abysmia slaughter).
Duke was really the cartoon pushing him forward and then DDP took up that slack. I always thought DDP went to far in trying to integrate the cartoon and the comic (Shipwreck, Duke..)
I think this is very true. Duke was not much of a player in the comic book at all - in fact, on those rare occasions when Duke was showcased, he usually botched things up rather badly. If one were to make the argument that Stalker was a better NCO in the comic, I wouldn't argue.
In all honesty, when I think of Duke and Flint I think of their cartoon personalities. Certainly the cartoon can't be cannon, but in so far as how I think of these characters (The voices I hear, etc.) I think of the cartoon. Flint was pretty arrogant in the comic, and Duke was worthless.
