Yeah. Goddard died. De Niro was the Action Force Super Trooper. Lattimer was the G.I. Joe Super Trooper.

The ironic thing is that Super Trooper is the ultimate badass but never goes on any missions or appears in any issues after this one.
I also thought it was odd that they were masters of hand-to-hand combat, yet Flint suckerpunches one of them and puts him on his ass. |

And you'd think that after the sucker punch the other one would have wiped the floor with Flint but no.. He takes 'em both down easily.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I learned from the ORIGINAL filecard that Zartan was an extreme paranoid schizophrenic.
"Disguises so well that the original personality becomes buried and forgotten" THAT was the first Zartan we got, and when they changed the filecard because of complaints by mental health officials, we have the newspaper clip that tells the story. |

Instead of this generic ninja-wannabe we ended up with.

So I got a PIT Commando today.
If you're going to make a Super Trooper squad, these guys would be perfect to use for the squad.

Still, I think Hasbro could have made a change that would have maintained the essence and flavour of the original filecard text, instead of the completely neutered substitute they came up with, but I guess they just wanted to avoid any potential problems. |

I would have love a character with Multiple IDs and Paranoid Schizo...
You think about it, he changed ids so much he'd have no clue who he was. He'd always be looking over his shoulder and I bet some of 'em would be talking in his head. It's only when he was fully immersed in a role that the voices stopped and he could be "himself". In the movie novelization, it describes him as a mimic. He doesn't realize he does it, but he's always mimicing what people around him are doing. That would have been a really complex and cool character.
