I have to go with his commando routine from 109 (or 108 iirc0 where he decimated a squadron in the Cobra Consulate building and Stalker than spoke for SE and told CC to get out of town. That edge was sorely missing from the cartoon.

I like SE in issues 133-135. He was commando, but still kinda kinda ninja-ish. He used his sword a bit, but also favored his uzi. I guess once he went "Ninja Force", he lost me a bit.

Well once they had Snake Eyes vs Firefly and the Red Ninjas thats when imo, the comic jumped the shark.

Commando! Why oh why does someone have to be a "Ninja" to be proficient at unarmed combat? This doesn't even make sense. Ninja are trained for stealth not full frontal assault. Historically a ninja would not be the "best" fighter. They compensate for their lack of skill with weapons training and dirty tricks. Sure a ninja could beat a samurai, when he jumps out of a tree and stabs him in the back. Face to face would be a different story. I despise the fact that they made everyone "ninja", as if this suddenly makes them super-human. What's wrong with a character just being trained in unarmed combat, or a master of a certain martial arts style? As if all of this wasn't cheesy enough, why the hell are the good guys ninjas? Ninja are assassins, pure and simple. They are not about honor. They win at all costs, stealth, trickery, back stabbing, sand in the eyes and a kick to the balls. An "honorable" character should never be associated with the word ninja. They should have left it at Storm Shadow, one evil ninja. Anything more than that is just silly.

I'd rather he be a commando who carries a sword than a ninja with an uzi...

I prefer SE as Commando. Makes him a more vulnerable and realistic soldier.
