What If Snake-Eyes Didn't Exist?

[Freedom]

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"

Timber really never played a big part in the Marvel series. Timber would have just lived out his days in the High Sierras.

[spacemonkeymafia]

Yeah but some big Game Hunter could have shot him.........All kidding aside I dig the topic.....

If snake eyes didnt exist id bet a huge chunk of the Joe fanbase wouldnt exist

[fred V]

there would be more room on the pegs for bats and battle armor cc....

[Tunnel Rat]

if snake eyes didnt exist then hasbro wouldnt be able to put a snake eyes in almost every wave.....lol

[Headman]

If Snake Eyes didn't exist I'd probably be annoyed with some other character who I find completely un-interesting while others go bananas over him.

[Magick]

When you take out one equation from existance, it changes everything within that timeline, but since it never existed for us to know about it wouldn't matter. Right?

[crock master]

then no one would have an army of snake eyes

[sgtapon]

we wouldn't have 30 different version of snake eyes in which i'm guessing at least half are just repaints

[Gung.Heaux]

i guess idve had to use snow job on this.

[Cole3388]

I guess you always have to have an antagonist. It would be cool if more than one could have been worked into the comic series.

[Steel]

If there were no Snake Eyes, than Flint or Beachead would have been the team "badass".

If you don't mind me answering this one, that's from The Golden Compass toyline (awesome book, pretty good movie).

If Snake Eyes wouldn't have existed then:

* Timber dies in the cold (Trapped in the bear trap)
* The army sends another soldier named "EARL" in his place on the helicopter.
* Earl goes on to do everything SE would have done.
* Instead of Snake Eyes being included in every wave we would have EARL figures in every wave.

Because everything is pre-destined... Earl would carry the GI Joe story line.

[PathFinder]

What can I say?

Who can resist a dude with a black mask and an uzi and a sword? A man of mystery! What does he look like under that black and evil mask?

Did he scare you as much as he scared me???
