Yeah Dart's a Ranger so unless they reinvent Spirit as a Special Forces or a Marine Recon windtalker, Dart seems like a bigger bad ass. He's probably a Huge guy as well although I don't know why I think that. However I always loved Spirit. And I think there is room for both as well as the rest of the American Indian Joes (Altititude, Armadillo, Airborne) |

He's From Rhode Island. I believe Army. The file card doesn't back that up in anyway though. It may be from the comics though. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Dogfight JMM's G.I. Joe Comics Home Page - Dogfight Last edited by Loose Cannon; 12-03-2008 at 03:21 PM.. |

The named Cobras never got their fair shake. They should have been at least equal (in training/skills) to the Joes. The only differences should have been in their morals, that's why they joined Cobra.
There should be Ranger-trained Cobras, SEaL-trained Cobras, etc..

I never understood that one. It didn't play out too significantly in the end. So I don't know if there were other plans for him they couldn't get to before they lost the license.

Was Bailey another greenshirt? What was the name of that Greenshirt from the Frontline story where Beachhead led a bunch of greenshirts?

Dart's figure was very muscular, so I also think he was a big guy. And his file card makes him out to be really tough. I've always loved Spirit. I put Spirit in the same category as Recondo and Low-Light... they're probably Airborne Rangers (and I would extend the same courtesy to Airborne and Rip Cord) - it's just not "by the book" correct. I'm always glad when American Indians are well represented in G.I. Joe. It's a good thing. I'm also glad when any minority group is well represented. There have been so many excellent characters who are Asian-American, and I'm proud that Mississippi's G.I. Joe is one of the many excellent African-American characters in G.I. Joe. I was thrilled when Doc's niece joined the team and we got our first African-American female member - and an Officer no less! I think Torpedo is great for so many reasons, but the fact that he's a pacific islander is even better. I think it's great we've had many hispanic and latino members, but we could use more. I just feel that if G.I. Joe is a "real American Hero" then there should be all demographics of America represented... not just white males from the North east. Just my two cents.

I assumed Range-Vipers are Special Forces equivalents Eels are SEALS there are no PJs your on your own. Vipers are either Marine equivalents or Ranger. the New Para-Vipers are somewhere up top. I pretend that most of the Cobras have some previous military background. They become disillusioned with America or their Superiors or are forced to leave for conduct unbecoming of a soldier. So they join Cobra. Or they like fighting so much, and Cobra is the best paying Mercenary gig out there. Like Gulliotine. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Guillotine |

The only Plague figures that were produced were Gallows, Grim Skull, and Guillotine. I bought these figures because they came with the Steel Brigade figures but I always hoped they would make more Plague figures. I think it would have been a great sub team - as it is, I still use it as a sub team for small missions like blowing a bridge or assassination. I have no idea why Nick Baily was such a big deal.
