As far as the Snake Eyes Trilogy, it appears to take place before the incident at the LZ, since it's been established that Snake Eyes was sent home after that. The time span between the two incedents hasn't been defined, however. To hazard a guess, it appears to take place during SE'S second tour, since Stalker remarks in #26 that SE and SS have already served a tour together.

Ha. Yeah, the BoSox hat was a weird touch, but ultimately something I kept from the original design because it's a distinct part of the character's look. Doesn't make sense, though. You'd think he'd at least wear a Coast Guard Academy athletics cap. I'm guessing that one of the guys on the toy design team was a big Red Sox fan and lobbied for its inclusion and they let him do it just to shut him up. |

I grew up as a tiger's Fan so I was always partial to Magnum PI, plus crossed with Harrison Ford, He looks like my father when he was younger. |

Anytime Magnum P.I. gets added to the Joe roster, it's a good thing. Magnum should have been a Joe, was before the Fridge.

Yeah, but it seemed a bit too coincidental for me honestly, why would someone mention that? I haven't read another filecard where someone was killed by a drunk driver, and it just so happens to be a character named Hit and Run....I know its his job, but has to have a split meaning here.

So Helix...
What do you guys think? I'm loving the cover image (posted in the "Helix" thread). I like the figure but the eye make-up is a bit much. So she's some kind of special agent, probably enhanced. I'm not liking that, if she's enhanced genetically. Not going to be happy with that at all. So how will you guys use her? I'm going to have to wait and see exactly what she is supposed to be. But more then likely she'll end up in some kind of intelligence or computer role (she'd make a good Firewall).

Mainframe's apprentice or something.

Helix looks good as a stand-alone character design. Sort of like a mash-up between Joanna Dark (from the Perfect Dark video games) and Lara Croft (from the Tomb Raider series of games).
Remains to be seen how well she'll fit in the GI Joe world, though. Is she a character they're introducing in the IDW GI Joe "universe" or is she a movie character? |

I know for sure she's appearing in the new RoC video game. But the solicitations and Hasbro have hinted that she'll be in the comic as well.
