Always figured it was Hawk, with Breaker (and later, Sparks) leading the communications section. Of course, once they bumped up Hawk to general, it started to get iffy, since it seemed like he retained his position as a field commander whilst becoming a general & staff officer as well.

Seeing as how Chimera is a former Special Forces operator and Army doctor, it's certainly possible that his actions are all part of an elaborate and byzantine DoD scheme. Heck, given how Hama has written Hawk in the past in the Marvel series (the team's first meeting with the Oktober Guard comes to mind), it's reasonable to suspect that he knows a lot more that he's not telling Duke, Stalker, Scarlett at al and that there's more to Chimera than just a disgruntled ex-military man with a messianic complex.

Hey, here's something unusual and it's file card related. Sideswipe has a paygrade of E-5A. What the hell is that?

Here's something that I don't think has been brought up in this thread before (granted, I've only read maybe half of the 755 pages in this thread). A couple of later GI Joe characters re-used names from the 1988 and 1997 "Bronze Bombers" line of toys. The Bronze Bombers were a product of the Olmec toy company, which specialized in creating African-American action figures. IIRC, Olmec had a special arrangement with Hasbro at the time that allowed them to use the proprietary ARAH molds and articulation design.
Here are the links for comparison: Bronze Bombers Sure Fire (1988) vs. GI Joe ARAH Sure Fire (2001) Bronze Bombers Hi-Tech (1988) vs. GI Joe ARAH Hi-Tech (2004) Bronze Bombers Hard Drive (1997) vs. GI Joe ARAH Hard Drive (2004) Also, the one-off GI Joe comic book character Cool Breeze (who debuted, and died, in issue #112 of the Marvel series) actually had a namesake in the 1988 Bronze Bomber line: Bronze Bombers Cool Breeze (1988) There are even some similarities visually (African-American male with facial hair... although that description probably fits most of the black GI Joe characters). This gives me an idea and inspiration for adding more characters to the Filecard Project, up the diversity quotient a bit to reflect actual military demographics. |

Then if you consider all the Computer tech guys those may be the better choices for HQ comm/Situation room:
Mainframe Hi-Tech Hard Drive Sgt. Hacker Firewall but what about the INtelligence people? Scarlett Lady Jaye Quick-Kick Mace Chuckles Faces Jinx Who else? Duke |
