In the Marvel series, Snake-Eyes was pretty much the hub of the Joe verse.
What if Snake-Eyes didn't exist?
1) Storm-Shadow wouldn't have met him in Viet-Nam
a. Storm Shadow wouldn't have invited him to "join the family business"
b. Cobra Commander wouldn't have sent Firefly then Zartan to kill Snake-Eyes
c. Zartan wouldn't have accidentally killed the Hard Master.
d. Prof. Onahashi, the sword smith, wouldn't have committed hari kari.
e. Zartan wouldn't have killed The Blind Master.
f. Storm Shadow wouldn't have joined Cobra to find out the identity of his uncle's killer.
g. Without Storm Shadow to rescue him, Billy would have been executed.
h. The Soft Master wouldn't have been in Springfield to be killed by Scrap-Iron.
i. The Red Ninjas may have not separated from the Arashakage clan
2) Stalker wouldn't have met him in Viet Nam
a) Stalker wouldn't have asked him to Join the G.I.Joe team.
b) Scarlett may have died in the helicopter crash that disfigured Snake-Eyes.
c) If Scarlett did survive, she may have gone on to have a perfectly healthy relationship with a nice normal man. lol
d) Several Joes may be dead w/o Snake-Eyes to save them, i.e. Stalker, Gung-Ho, and Breaker in #12.
3) Snake-Eyes parents wouldn't have been on the road to the airport to pick him up.
a) Cobra Commander's brother, Dan, wouldn't have gotten into the car accident that killed him and them. Although, I think he probably would have had an accident with somebody else.
b) The death of CC's bro seemed to be the catalyst that pushed him over the edge. CC would have found an excuse sooner or later.
4) Snake-Eyes wouldn't have been in Viet-Nam and tried to save the Baroness's brother to have her think he was the killer. The Baroness probably would have been bad anyway.
5) We'd never have wondered what that "thing in his boot" was that Breaker referred to in #3.
6) All the Cobras that Snake-Eyes killed may be alive! (DD brought half of them back anyway!)
I know there wouldn't have been much of a story, but I always like to have fun with "What If's"
