[QUOTE=Troynos;1140312]The thing about Wolverine now that bothers me, they say his name is James Howlett but he's not the son of Howlett, he's the son of the groundskeeper Thomas Logan.
His name should be James Logan.[/ True, however the father who raised him is a Howlett, his daddy is Logan but from an affair. |

Very true. Just bugs me that his name is James Howlett, but at least going by Logan is his way of "connecting" with his true daddy.

Gentleman, I've just made an extraordinary find. Apparently [with tongue in cheek] Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were originally apart of the Tiger Force line. Just check out this very rare ebay listing I uncovered. GI JOE TIGER FORCE STORM SHADOW SNAKE EYES RARE - eBay (item 230392074837 end time Nov-01-09 07:17:30 PST)

So, I was thinking about the whole Stalker as a Green Beret debate, and it seems to me that he should be. With his language skills and cross training as a medic (which we've never really seen him use) it just makes sense. Cool character, way underused, IMHO.

I totally agree, and that's why he's on my custom ODA Team. With his skills, he should be Special Forces. The thing is, as far as the continuity and file cards go, there is no evidence to show he's Special Forces qualified.

I'm not sure I like the way IDW is using him, but there are aspects I like. I like the IDW seems to be setting up set teams of guys that work together. Duke is with Beachhead and everytime we've seen Stalker (even in the flashback Origin issue), he's been with Recondo and Leatherneck. I like the idea of those 3 together and "out and about" doing whatever needs to be done But I don't know if it'll take full advantage of those characters "coolness"

Troynos, you mentioned Leatherneck and that got me thinking. When Gung-Ho and Leatherneck joined the Joe Team, they were old school "Force Recon" Marines. But that isn't current. MARSOC has changed things - the Spec. Ops Marines are doing all kinds of things. The Marine Advisers are like Special Forces A-Teams.
I think we have to reevaluate Gung-Ho, Leatherneck, and possibly Hollow-Point as being a whole new level of Awesome. IDW restarts the continuity after MARSOC went into effect. So the IDW Gung-Ho and Leatherneck aren't Force Recon Marines, they're MARSOC Marines. That's pretty significant IMHO.
