That's one failing with the GI Joe franchise, as it is owned by a corporation. If Larry Hama actually owned GI Joe, like George Lucas owning Star Wars, Larry wouldn't have allowed all those contradictory cartoon storylines to exist. Cobra-La certainly wouldn't have gotten past Larry.
Since Hasbro owns GI Joe, there exists two separate Joe canons. The comic book and the 80's cartoon. With the upcoming movie The Rise Of Cobra and Resolute, well more canon to ya! That said, I still hold Larry's Marvel run of GI Joe as canon. |

So to your original post and the confusion about Mr. Z's head, Zartan wears a hood. The comic has a hood, and so have all toy versions, except for the one with the bad, orange Mohawk, which is obviously hair.
The cartoon, on the other hand, while more-than-likely it was supposed to be a hood, the Sunbow animators either mistook it for hair or thought it would look better as hair and animated it as hair, so that the people who knew it was a hood and owned the toy or read the comic thought that it was a hood, even though there were obviously way-too-many-to-count-otherwise animation occurrences of the brown matter on his head behaving like hair—complete with visible, flowing, separate strands of hair and Zartan frequently wearing a hood or mask on top of his natural brown hair (which would logically be redundant to wear a hood underneath another hood or mask/wig). For those of us who never owned a Zartan figure as a kid or saw the various comic panels where it was obviously a hood, we saw the cartoon and knew because we're not idiots that it was hair, because it looked like hair, flowed like hair, and animated like hair, and not like a hood, which is how Cobra Commander's hood was animated, and Zartan's hair behaved more like the Baroness' hair than CC's hood.

Dude, you are so right! It's freaking poofy 80's hair! I love this thread, it will never die! I wont let it until all have seen the light.
reiterations: Toy - Hood Comic - Hood Sunbow - Hair if some dumb animator drew his hood as hair many times in multiple episodes wouldn't that be cannon? Wouldn't it be hair? I think I have seen more examples of him having hair than him changing color in sunlight or his chest piece glowing. -those are cannon. I have never confused Cobra Commanders hood for hair. Neither did the animators. Sunbow = Zartan with hair. cannon. |

I always thought of it as a hood.

This is a pretty hair-brained argument.
