I got the name for the Sigma Six version of the character ("Cedric Stone") from Pablo Hidalgo's book, GI Joe vs Cobra: The Essential Guide (Random House Publishing, 2009). He's listed in the character index at the end of the section on GI Joe (it has to be him, as Hidalgo omitted the GI Joe Extreme characters from the book but incorporated the Sigma Six characters, thus leaving only one candidate for the "Lieutenant Stone" entry).
EDIT: actually, double-checking the book, he spelled his name "Cederic," which is either a mispelling of "Cedric" or an exotic alternative spelling of the name. The Sigma Six version is probably intended to be a Para (crimson beret + English accent), not an SAS trooper, as I mistakenly alluded to earlier (for some reason, I remember him with a sand-coloured beret... my mistake).

I like the way IDW has Cobra set up. They're already a major power and behind the scenes. I don't think the MASS will work like it did in the cartoons, I think it'll send one person only.

Troynos, what makes you say that? Why do you think it'll be only one person?

Just a feeling I get from the tone of the series. It's out-there but not by any stretch.
If it was capable of sending more I think it would have already, but every usage (granted it's still being tested, but if it's capable of multiple sends woldn't you test it that way?) has shown only one person. The BET was only capable of operating a single radio.

It would be very interesting to know where Pablo Hidalgo got the name "Cederic". Did he just make it up? There's no evidence whatsoever of the character's first name ever being given in any file card that I know of. Was it ever mentioned in the Cartoon show or the Comic book? Does anyone know?

I am hoping that the revamp / lauch by DC (which is incorporating some of there own non-powered 30's / 40's pulp type heroes) is successful because I really do like the characters involved. |

DC is taking a bunch of the pulp guys: Doc Savage, Blackhawks and couple others and making a shared universe for 'em.
They are also introducing a new version of Batman into that universe. Ever read Warren Ellis' Planetary? Axel Brass and his "team" of super scientists were based on Doc Savage and other pulp heroes/villians. PLANETARY was incredible at first ... but then it was kind of hit or miss for a while (IMHO because of the lateness of the title). Now that the final issue is out, I told myself that I would go back and reread the series as a whole simply because it's been so long (and I think the final issue will read better). As you mentioned there was a lot of other pulp heroes / villians, but there was also versions of more modern heroes (Captain Marvel / Shazam, the Fantastic Four). |

Don't know if it was ever mentioned in the show or in any comic books. My first reaction would be to say he just made it up for the book. On the other hand, it is an officially licensed publication (from a major publisher no less) written by a guy who's something of a big name when it comes to writing licensed properties' histories (he's LucasArts' "continuity chief" or something like that) so it's possible he had access to production notes/character bibles that had more detailed information about the Sigma Six characters than what actually made it to the filecards or show.
