No, but Shooter was so secret that the other Joes didn't even know her. Hawk had an idea, but not a full clue (as evidenced by the other Joes wanted to stage a rescue mission and Hawk saying something about it's already taken care of). So I'm thinking the male figure on the computer was a placeholder. Shows that there is another member, but the white male was used to hide the identity. Also, keep in mind, that Shooter was never intended to be real. It was a joke at then-editor-in-chief of Marvel, Jim Shooter. So when Larry Hama finally wrote/created a Shooter character, he made a very interesting and great character because it was essentially a blank slate.

I got the graphic novel with the story about Shooter last week when I picked up GI Joe #0 and I liked it, but wasn't sure why she had to charge Cobra with a knife when she realized they were using innocent people as ammunition bearers. She's a sharp shooter! Wait till they move out of the way, then take out your target. I think this would have been more effective, but maybe her anger got the best of her and she just reacted.

With the new continuity of the IDW comic, I really hope they can incorporate this character. Maybe Hama can do it in his "Origins" comic. the idea of a secret, female sniper is pretty cool.

Just to touch on a subject from some pages back...
what would you guys think of a code name like: Raider ? A Marine member of the team, in honor of the Marine Raiders in WW2. The Raiders were sort of a forerunner to Force Recon... so a Force Recon Marine in G.I. Joe could be named "Raider". Seems like a natural fit to me. How about it? |

I know that the newer character "Mayday" has been mentioned a lot in this and other Posts, but I would much rather have a "Shooter" figure than a "Mayday" figure.
With the new continuity of the IDW comic, I really hope they can incorporate this character. Maybe Hama can do it in his "Origins" comic. the idea of a secret, female sniper is pretty cool. The skills this person must have had. And the mindset. Operating on your own, completely self-sufficient.... Yeah, I want that character bad.

I loved the idea of a secret sniper, female or not. I loved that Flagg had a secret Joe in reserve that was back-up and clean-up.
