I honestly don't recall whether SS was infused with nanomites or not. I'm going with not, since it was never explicitly said that he was, just Baroness, Destro, Zartan, and the Neo Vipers were. My theory is a bit of a stretch, but here goes: As SE and SS were fighting, SS may have realized he was losing. He prepares himself to go into a Sleeping Phoenix trance so that when SE stabs him, he's ready. That combined with the cold water causes him to go into a state of suspended animation of sorts. SS is then rescued by Cobra agents, and his injuries are repaired. We see a similar thing in Retaliation, except that his injuries aren't as severe. Also, I believe The Doctor/CC could program them for specific purposes-the Neo Vipers were given strength, endurance, pain resistance, and healing, the Baroness was brainwashed (essentially), Zartan was given the ability to change his appearance, and Destro was given a metal "mask" to replace his burned face. Additionally, note that Neo Vipers were killed in the assault on the Pit.

and also scream in pain and panic. indicating the nanomites pain resistance wasn't complete.

Skydive has always been an E-5, on both the filecard and the field manual.

Yeah both versions have him as E-8. Although the fact he was outranked by Altitude always irked me.

Even as a child, this didn't make any sense.

I promoted Skydive to Captain, but with my expanded Sky Patrol Roster I'm not sure is that is necessary anymore. I should probably just switch his rank with Altitude as that makes more sense. I just have a hard time taking away that E-9 from anyone

The whole "Sergeant Major of the Army" thing was a bit over the top.

Yeah I disregard that altogether. But we see many of these Tier 1 rosters have many higher ranked NCOs. It was one of the first things I liked about Sky Patrol. At that point They outranked every other NCO except Duke and the Marines.

I have a friend who was an investigator for a large insurance company (discussed way back in 2008) and he is now a Deputy US Marshal. He said that they were looking for investigative experience and he was hired rather quickly.
Choir as a secondary MOS? Certainly. The Army has a Choir does it not? I can see Shockwave in his dress uniform appearing at a special event that the Choir is assigned to perform at. Shockwave has always been my favorite Joe. I had others that I liked, but when he came out in 1988, it said SWAT specialist, and I knew I had to buy him- I have always wanted to be a cop (and now I am one) and when I finally got him, his real name was Jason , same as mine. How MUCH cooler does it need to get for an 11 year old? He instantly became my favorite. AND I was in Choir all through high school, and when I got my first cop gig, I was the youngest member of our dept's SWAT team. The onyl difference for me is that he's from Michigan, and I'm from Texas./ Ah well. This thread has been fun to read. I'm currently out injured and am on light duty and this has given me something to do the last few hours. I've enjoyed it immensely. - 1242 |
