Can we get a complete list of who/what/when/where of all of the deaths that have occured within the comics. Major and minor characters. I have never seen a list and it's confusing. Maybe we can sticky this.

Like I've even read that minor characters such as big boa died. Comic Experts needed. I've always wondered.

Several characters die in the Devil's Due-and-after run, including Lady J, Flash and Mainframe. They were big into killing characters for shock value, such as Overlord punching through Chuckles' stomach. Larry Hama/Marvel handled it better, though in truth the characters they killed were all out-of-production. There's a great scene in one of the Marvel comics where Stalker and Rock 'N' Roll are visiting the Joes' graves at Arlington.
In the Marvel run, a SAW Viper in Trucial Abysmia executes Doc, Thunder, Crankcase and Heavy Metal. Later, Breaker, Quick Kick and Crazylegs are killed when their captured Rage tank is blown up. All of Battle Force 2000 except one (I forget which) are blown up when they are sneaking through an oil refinery in Trucial Abysmia and COBRA Commander orders it bombed. I think DeeJay dies, too. COBRA Commander kills Dr. Mindbender (who is later cloned), Raptor, Croc Master, Voltar, and Fred the CC impostor in the battle armor by locking them up in the freighter on COBRA Island and burying it. They later die of botulism from eating contaminated rations and their bodies are later found. Zartan, Firefly and COBRA Commander's son Billy escape the freighter. Kwinn and Dr. Venom (Marvel characters) kill each other. Venom shoots Kwinn in the back and a grenade rolls from his hand and blows Venom up. They had major roles in the 82/83 Marvel series. Zartan kills Serpentor by shooting him in the eye with an arrow from a distance to end the COBRA Civil War. |

Cool Breeze is also in Trucial Abysmia, a new Joe recruit. He's only in a couple of issues, I think, before he is killed.
Mangler is another Joe recruit, a one-issue character, who's killed in Special Missions. I also forgot about Major Bludd shooting General Flagg and Scarface the COBRA Officer getting blown up in the pre-fab "Joe HQ" fortress. |

On that note; your going to need a 1:18 Joe-scale casket and hearse. I vividly recall in Joe's earliest issues; someone important, I believe a general, Flagg?, died. Can anyone attach a picture of that well-made and very moving comic panel? The funeral parade scene included a horse-drawn carriage with wooden wheels, flag-drapped casket, and a few pallbearers Joes in standard army uniform; inclusive of Snake Eyes still in full face mask yet with berret. Such a scene would make for a moving diorama that I have yet to see any customizer attempt. Can any Tanker out there help me find a toy horse carriage in 1:18 scale?

That's the issue with Destro holding a green toy Rattler on the cover. Duke and Roadblock's first appearance, and the prototype Rattler (with an awesome pilot who'd make a great action figure) which looks more like a classic A-10.
Schleich makes a covered wagon in their American Frontier line that might make a decent custom base. For some reason my cut and paste isn't working. Just go to their site and search "covered wagon." It's fifty bucks, though. There might be cheaper Western-style toys like that out there. I'm also not sure of its scale. Not quite 1/18, though, I am sure. |

The Soft Master (one of the Arashikage ninja masters and one of Snake Eyes' mentors) is killed when Scrap Iron shoots a car he is riding in with a missile. Cobra Commander's son Billy is also in the car, but he survives, although he is put into a coma for a time.

Isn't the soft master killed by Zartan too? I remember that somebody else dies in the explosion that left Billy maimed.
Also, what's the deal with Baroness/Chameleon? The Baroness is supposed to be dead, and Chameleon takes his place (she's her sister, and works undercover for the Joes). Is this correct? EDIT: ninja'd by wildscorpio67 |
