No...no, it's not like that.
It's more like Blue Beetle, Question and Captain Atom being in a greatest DC characters list. Or Angela on a Marvel characters list. They weren't originally in the universes but were brought into the fold. It also doesn't appear you've read Marissa's file card. Add gen hawks son and dread head billy bob Suddenly cross country seems like a masterpiece hashtag emoji

Ok. So her parents were joes. And she worked for a guy who used to run the joes.
What did she do for the Joe team? Nothing. To fight cobra? Nothing. To be involved in any situation where G. I. Joe was active with cobra in the general vacinity? Nothing. To live in the world where gG. I. Joe and cobra were doing things? Unclear from lack of birth year, but teath and drool is the most optimistic option. Sort of like calling someone born in the 1990s a "Cold War survivor" because their parents lived through it and they worked for someone who did. That's completely illogical. There is nothing in that card that has HER doing anything related to the G. I. Joe universe.

Well the only thing she does is to be born. That said I would give her as much impact as Sgt Slaughter's or Snow Job's or Gung-Ho's little sisters. Or really any other Joe siblings with the added benefit of a figure. The figure helps make her a real character we can introduce into our Joeverses, much the same way the troopers are considered characters. Technically I guess that would qualify someone like Checkpoint from C.O.P.S., but he doesn't count to me, but by my logic he would. He's just a fun fact we all recognize as a Joe connection.
This makes me wonder, what if there was an alternate future Joe world? Why this hasn't happened I don't know but I wish it would. You know something like Falcon is a Colonel and Hit&Run is a Sgt Major. The older Joes are retired from the military but maybe involved as CIA agents since they could be still useful in their fifties.

Zarana does make a good point about character stereotypes but wouldn't Spirit make the top of that list?

The crossovers do blur the lines between multi brands but I agree with Loose that the figures help to solidify their inclusion in a way that I don't mind as much.
