Exactly. There's nothing in the Joe mythos that makes a need to "out" any of the characters. To do so, it would be just to make a statement. And making a statement like that isn't supporting gay rights or anything like that, it's trying to get press. If there's a story reason, then fine, no biggie, but I can't imagine what kind of a story would warrant it. Hell, I could do without the Scarlett/Snake-Eyes and Flint/Lady Jaye stuff. That's a good point about Serpentor and Alexander the Great. I wonder how much of the "donor" personalities he picked up? His personality has to be a mix of all the others.

I use Starduster with Grand Slam and some other Jet Pack guys as a separate unit. Basically I use them for long range air recon, or emergency air support for Infantry operations. they are both assigned to the regular Joe Army Infantry.

I'd reassign him from Night Force. Night Force really have a use for a single paratrooper? That's one of my biggest issues with the sub-teams. For the most part, the characters are just thrown together with no rhyme or reason. Frostbite in the jungle???

Besides those two, who are the "jet pack" guys? Stalker and Duke are shown with 'em alot.

Crazylegs is a ranger. So if Freefall. Airborne is. Beachhead would be a good addition as well. Was Ripcord a ranger?

I guess it would work to be able to fire a cannon and then slap a Jet pack on to survey the damage. Still, A guy like Grunt or Crazylegs would make a better JetPack trooper, Since they are artillery Coordinators/Forward observers.

Besides Oliver, who else keeps the sub-teams intact?
I tend to break 'em up, or reassign, since the way Hasbro set up most of 'em isn't the most effiecient use of characters. I would replace Crazylegs in Night Force with Muskrat, for example. Like Flint and Duke can't be everywhere, so which "team" gets priority?

I have very few of the characters from the subteams, so I break them up. (And all I have right now are the Tiger Force 25th characters, since everything vintage is packed away at my parents' house)

I have so few vintage that it's hard to do anything with 'em, so I just "infill" the listings with the characters I don't have.
Vintage collection is growing. It's pretty much doubled in size in the last couple months.
