I agree. I always thought Falcon was more of a badass then he was made out to be. Especially with his background, being a Green Beret.
The cartoon was horrible, there's no way a guy like that would have made LT or even made the Joe team to begin with. That kind of attitude and such would have had him discharged awhile ago. |

As much as I love Flint, I always viewed Falcon as a step up from Flint (skills-wise). Except for some differeing areas of training, most notably helicopter piloting, Falcon and Flint are the same.

So, this is in response to something OB said earlier. If "blue light" was mentioned, doesn't that mean that Hama is acknowledging the existence of Delta Force and so GI Joe would therefore be a separate elite force and not Hama's version of Delta Force?

Good question. That's a tough one to explain.

I always thought the French Foreign Legion was just like a step below Cobra on the Crazy scale... Criminals from all over the world Join the Foreign Legion, and desertion is very commonplace within it's ranks. It's brutal training, and made up of weirdos, criminals and psychos. The Cobra Twins, Major Bludd, and Zartan all have ties to the Foreign Legion.

It was when the DEF figures came out and Falcon was wearing his Sonic Fighter uniform. All I remember is he crashed a battle copter and Duke took some pink powder off him. It was around the end of the line and possibly the last RAH cartoon made. I only remember it because that was the first time I saw The Headhunter. Does anyone else remember this at all?

Okay guys, time to help me write some filecards for my kit-bash customs.
First up: Marine Force Recon or Scout Sniper (can't decide which to make him). Brief description: He's a sniper and recon. His job on the Joe team is to go out and scout out the enemy base/location/etc.. and then report back to the Joe team. Then he goes back to the location and acts as a spotter for the assault forces moving in as well as a sniper. The card will be set up like the old style. First part will be the name and all that (I got that covered). The middle part is the qualifications and the last part is a little quote. Code Name: Lone Wolf Middle: Lone Wolf joined the Marines right out of high school and is a leatherneck thru and thru. He graduated top of his class from Marine Sniper School and is considered a legend. He joined the Force Recon School to further his chosen path in the Corps. He'd rather be the one that covers his fellow Marines and insures their survival. Last: "It takes guts to do what Lone Wolf does. Not only is he the first one in, responsible for mapping out the enemy locations. But he goes back in and acts as a spotter and sniper for the assault teams. All this by himself with no support." Definately need help on the middle. LONE-WOLF Marine Sniper File name: Wolf, Marion Hatchcock Primary Military Specialty: Marine Scout Sniper(0317) Secondary Military Specialty: Reconnaissance Man(0321) Place of Birth: Parris Island, S.C. Rank: E-7 Born on the grounds of the Marine Recruiting Center at Parris Island, LONE-WOLF is a legend in the Marine Corps. They say this 8th generation Marine skipped kindergarten and went straight to Boot Camp. Never one to shy away from an impossible mission, LONE-Wolf has been to some of the most dangerous places on earth. His skill level must remain high at all times. He is a Qualified Combatant Diver, (he also took BUDs/SEAL training for R&R). Airborne qualified as well as Mountaineering instructor certified. When asked for volunteers for sniper school, LONE-WOLF naturally stepped up to the plate. Qualified Expert in all NATO/WARSAW Pact small arms and Sniper Rifles. Explosive expert. "His constant regimen of training, to keep his skills sharp, has developed him into one of the most deadly men on the planet. This leaves him little time for friendships. He tends to keep to himself, but he likes it that way. Parachuting alone into hostile territory, only to wait ten days for your target motionlessly, takes a rare breed of individual. It's good to know he's always got your back, even though you can't see him." -Snake-Eyes |

I like that. But want to add in part about being the first guy in and the last guy out.

Hey, I posted another preview (longer) of the new comic, this one shows the Pit but the interesting thing is when Beachhead and Duke enter the Pit, a scanning system gives their ranks.
Beach is an E-6, Duke is an E-7
