So I think a good topic for a round-robin discussion would be Starduster. He was a pretty cool figure from '87 but one that seems to receive very little fanfare today. I don't know if he's ever appeared in the cartoons or even the comics (at least not in the Marvel series if I remember correctly) so he's one of the least developed characters but he has great potential.
The silly circus background and jetpack aside, his duties involve recon and helicopter assault, he's an actual Ranger (not just Ranger qualified) and a sergeant to boot. For some reason I've always made him a door gunner/crew chief like Airborne because hey, someone's gotta do it, but really he could do so much more. Why don't we see him on more recon teams or assault squads? Does he appear in any Joe media? How do you employ Starduster in your Joeverse? Is he just another backdrop or does he ever take center stage? Who is John Galt (just kidding)? Starduster was always one of my favorites- I still have my original and the figure holder that came with him. I think his V2 filecard is better than the first (YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Edward "Starduster" Skylar) and I'm not a fan of renaming him Skyduster. Both names are kinda weak IMO but I guess I favor Starduster because it was what I know. In my verse he is on my Air Assault Team along with Airborne, Ripcord, Crazylegs, Freefall, Air Raid, Barrel Roll, Cloudburst and some of the Sky Patrol guys. I'd like to see him get some more love. |

I've always liked the character and I use him on my Custom Ranger/Delta Team. He's pretty awesome, and I never minded the Circus background - he'd have to be pretty athletic, and it's a neat idea: he wanted to leave the Circus lifestyle of his parents and the Army provided a way out. Not all that far fetched. Seems like it would also give him a special Skill Set.
I use him with my other Ranger/HALO guys like Crazy Legs and Free Fall.

Mel Gibson.
I used to imagine him playing Skymate. After this recent unpleasantness, I'm thinking he would make a good Major Bludd.

How could I forget the Great Ten..aarrggghh.
On another note. I've always liked Star Duster. I use him as part of my Airborne Assault unit (Helicopter insertion). He's the NCO of the team under Barrel Roll (who is a USAF CRO in my 'verse). My vintage Skyduster has a broken thumb and crotch, he's sorely in need of an upgrade but have you seen those prices? Crazy. |

Also a huge Starduster fan. (GIJoe cereal was not good, but I think it was the same recipe as Mr. T cereal)
Didn't Starduster launch the Joe Cereal Line? I thought I remember him on the box. YOJOE.COM I use him as part of my Airborne Assualt team. I can't remember if I have him at E-7 or E-6 now? But that team is most of the Airborne Rangers. Duke (As a Major is in charge of this team) Skydive (As a Captain is XO) Barrel-Roll Altitude Drop-Zone (Who I may move since I decided to get another POC Beachhead and use as Drop-Zone) Airwave Starduster Airborne (Talltree) Sgt Six (Airborne V2) Shooter (I use the DTC Barrel-Roll who is really Randu Shughart) Static Line Ripcord Free Fall CrazyLegs Sneak Peek Skymate Cloudburst I feel Like I'm missing one of the Airborne guys or a Custom character I use.

Does anyone else include the Marvel Universe Figures in your Joeverse. I'm liking a lot of them and most of them I can find a home but then occasionally I can't. Or I switch them from bad or good guys. But right now it all seems to be driven by Iron man tech.
Really this is a topic for another thread but I was thinking about Guardian who I have working for Destro. Sort of goes against the character. Maybe I should start another thread.
