His rank is a Sergeant. There are no sergeants in the Navy. He's got to be a Marine.

I'm fine with making him a Marine. I was going with being from SEaL Team 6, the Polar SEaLs (if they still are that anyways, lol). You know, with the RoC and PoC figures, we don't have to in just the US services, RoC made the Joes international. Yeah, Tank, there's no word on Arctic Duke or Desert Ripcord (which is an AWESOME figure BTW), but I'd expect them to show up sometime, with different heads.

I know they're doing different heads for PoC Duke, but what's the PoC head for ripcord going to look like?

Don't know. Not confirmed or denied that Ripcord will be appearing in PoC.

That would be hilarious if he didn't show up in PoC...
All this hulabaloo to change Ripcord's race, and have him date Scarlett in the movie and then POOF - he's gone. ridiculous. They should have just stuck with Stalker or Roadblock.

Yeah, regardless of all the explanations that have been given for his color change, none seem satisfying. Why not Stalker? Why not Hardball? Perhaps the character was white originally but when Waynes signed on, they thought he could play that character best, and so it was too late to rewrite the character.

BTW, got ahold of something that you guys in this thread will be particularlly interested in:
"Ice Storm is the G.I. Joe Team's cold water marine combat and survival specialist. Take the worst battle situation, then add subzero temperatures and freezing water: that's his environment, and he makes sure the team can fight and win under those conditions." Filename: Nolan A. MacPhee Grade: Sargeant E-5 The official Icestorm filecard. New character and new name!!!

That would be funny. I actually liked him in ROC. He should have been Stalker though. I wonder since they put him in IDW, Resolute, and ROC he's not going anywhere. Even if they switch him out with Don Cheadle.

While the rest of the books in the series are officially fiction, Red Cell includes some incident that actually happened.

Most likely explanation. Thing is even if they did call him Stalker, everyone would be complaining about how the character wasn't serious enough. I wonder how people would have felt if Zack Ward played the part.
