I think it was always foolish Joe mainly fought Cobra, or all the branches of the Cobra legions, There would be so many other groups to contend with.
I was telling my wife the other day how funny it is to read GIJoe 6-7(Marvel run) where the team helps the Afghanis in the desert fight the Russins. And BTW, Doom is nobodys goon! The Doom I have is the Superhero Showdown and its a pretty sweet figure, holds a Lightsaber nicely. I want to do a custom Red Skull myself but I was going to use the complete body of the German Motorcycle figure in the Indy line and a painted ASA skull |

All started from Cobra, but we've seen how loyal the commanders are, so would make sense that some of 'em went off on their own and formed their own groups. Serpentor came back and decided to start his own army, the COIL. Cobra, the CLAWS and Coil hate eachother and work against eachother. The IGs work with and against each group depending on what Destros goals are. Can't forget the Red Shadows as well.

Yeah. There's potential for the Joes to have alot of "enemies" to fight. Especially when Hasbro created so many redundant figures in Cobra. The CLAWs could replace the Vipers, so instead it makes more sense for the CLAWs to be their own seperate group.

Destro was always a favorite and I thought it was brilliant that he had his own(conflicting) agenda right from the start. Joe fought Cobra, Destro, Russians and revoluniaries(sp). There was the odd terror cell in Special Missions but I think in the Joe universe there would be Cobra, IGs and about 10 other groups. I agree with your list too Troynos, Cobra would deffenetly splinter when you think of the egos involved. I can see Mindbender going out on his own with BATs and all kinds of crazy genitic troops. I felt Major Bludd was one good story away from having his own thing too.

I can see Bludd going the complete Mercenary route and operating a small team of operatives that perform various missions for the highest bidder. Not an army, but maybe a 20-30 man group.

The potential is there for some huge stories. All these various forces working against eachother and alongside eachother, changing by the day, with other little groups getting in the way. All with Destro supplying weapons and technology to all of them.
And the poor Joe squad having to ride herd and stop them all.

But Black Dragon, Red Shadows, Serpentor and the Coil, and Destro are there own separate entities. Eventually the Red Shadows and the Black Dragon will fall under Cobra Commanders wings after he bribes everyone and their mothers to work for him. |

I can see him having Firefly, Zartan and a few others with him. I always had bludd as a troop commander, leading the mixed Viper corps. He was soooo underused in the comics it was almost a crime. I always used my Headhunter figure as a merc too, I thought the design was wasted on the DEF subset.

Bludd was never used to full potential in any of the media. He started to in the 20s series of the Marvel run, after he kills Flagg and he runs off with the Baroness. That started to show how dangerous he could be.
But then, nothing. And the cartoon. God, what a crappy use for him.
