In the Marvel comic book, the Alley Vipers were just ordinary troopers like blue shirts and vipers. But in the DIC cartoon, which I never got a chance to watch as a kid, the Alley Viper appears as a unique character.
Watching the DIC episodes on youtube, it looks like an Alley Viper has been elevated to a lead character, which surprised me. Is the Alley Viper an individual character like Wild Weasel and Copperhead or is the Alley Viper an army builder? Both? Do you guys treat the DIC Alley Viper like the Marvel comics Crimson Guard Fred who went to 'Nam with SE,SS,Stalker? A unique character stuck in an army builder mold.

I think in general the Alley-Viper is in fact an army builder.
I def. would like a bunch of em. However in the cartoon you are right, he is treated like a unique character. I think for the purposes of the cartoon I think he was, as you surmised, supposed to be like Fred, a unique character onto himself in the Alley-Viper ranks. I dont personally think of him as a unique character just an Alley-Viper.

I believe Alley Vipers are like the elite of the elite in the Cobra corps and they specialize in urban assaults. In Operation DragonFire he says "I am an Alley Viper now." This implies that there is more than 1 AV but, from how prestigious he made it sound, I don't believe there are a lot of them in the Cobra ranks. Just my thoughts.

It depends on how you want to do it in your Joe-Verse.
I like both interpretations, either an army builder or as an urban operations specialist. |
