Feel free to ask anything. We've gone through so many filecards it sometimes hard to find new secrets. But sometimes a new set of eyes helps see things differently plus I love rehashing old topics. I would say the one thing that has kept it together is our focus on what is considered Canon and as close to a real military unit vs. what is cartoons and everything else: but we all have our own joeverses and we sometimes borrow ideas from each other or have slowly transformed our joeverses to fit a more realistic and
likely story. We really do welcome all new comers. And thank you gentlemen for reading all our posts. It certainly is fun to rehash old topics.

Here's a question, and I think it might say something about how we understand and think about the Joes...
What is the Height/Weight of the Joes? We might then discuss how the joes might match up in a fight... obviously not the "experts" like Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, or Sgt. Slaughter. What do y'all think?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe like a card game like they had before or just a full webpage per character. If it's a webpage it could have a POWERGRID like Marvel.com has or like how the Transformers had. But I don't care for things like Durability and speed, because I'd want to see basic stats like Ht Weight. But why not both? Then we could determine who is the strongest of all.
Like: Major Barrage: 6ft 8in wt. 309lbs Lift Weight 752lbs (max bench) then a power grid with; POWERGRID 1-20 durability, energy, fighting, intelligence, speed, strength, rank, any others? (Officers make up the 11-20 for ranks ie Colton is a full 20 Keel Haul 19; All Warrant Officers 10, and enlisted 9 and below)

I'm not interested in the game aspect, though trying to work out weights and heights from the info we have would be an interesting challenge.
What is even more interesting, if we take Loose's idea of creating web pages for each character, is to also start wikifying some of this thread as part of those pages. |

I suppose there are other stats that may be more important but I was just throwing this out there. It could probably use MOS's but too much might not be a good thing.
Something like this:

Going back to our Indiana Jones conversation from earlier...
I found this on ebay today. Pretty interesting. It might make room for an argument that Indy could been as as officially part of the Official Joe Cannon.

I was watching some of the James Bond 007 movie Octopussy and saw something interesting. The plane that James Bond was flying around in looks a little like a prototype of the Cobra Firebat.

What might be interesting besides Hieght/Weight for the Joes might be their average PT scores (and breakdown of each event) based on the Joe PT Test we talked about years ago. I'll try one for example... Flint: 6'2" 210 lbs Average PT Scores Push-ups: 100/100 Pull-ups: 25/25 Sit-up: 100/100 5 mile run: 29:54/30:00
