Out of the entire mythos, which character (based on job/file card/rare appearances) do you think has the most potential and could develop into a top-tier character if done right?
For me, it's easily Mercer Has a decent look, DDP did some more with him, but he had the most untapped potential. Military trained, Cobra trained. Privy to the inner workings. He's an ex-Viper. He's been in and he got out. Why? Why'd he leave? What made him go in the first place, and why is he working with the Joes now? What convinced the Joes that he wasn't a double agent? How does he feel about taking down people (Vipers) that used to be friends? He knows Cobra tactics, weapons, training. He knows how Cobra recruits. He knows codes and base locations. The stories that could be generated from him alone... DDP mined a little of it, but not enough. I would love to see more of him. |

There are so many to choose from ... part of me thinks Grand Slam. Very, very few times used. But, I appreciate Hit and Run too. Smart idea for a character.

ALL the rest of the Original 13. They really only used SE, Scar, Hawk and Stalker, with a lil' more than casual mentioning for Clutch....nothing for the rest. Hell Steeler is an OFFICER, yet he rarely gets used.

Countdown! With the modern military advancement I don't see him being still an astronaut persay but something like a Halo Jumper or High Attitude.

Well so many to chose from, and while most of the crew gets left behind, I gotta say Tunnelrat...he got very little use in the comics and while he was used in the movie that was it. He really didn't see much more use until S6 and Resolute...which again wasn't a hell of a lot of use.

Jinx. She had a cameo in the toons AKA: only the movie, she had a pretty nice spot toward the end of Hama's run. Featured as a satellite character in Devil's due. I needn't go into the IDW incarnation.
Jinx just always seemed so much like an after thought, but was never really fleshed out. And there aren't really that many females in the Joe verse as it is, or asians for that matter. |

I agree. I really enjoyed those early tete-a-tete between the two characters. You knew nothing would ever come of it, but it gave some much needed depth / characterization.
