Eh, never saw the cartoons and I'm just now getting into the comics. The idea of Duke seems appealing, although a bit cliche and all that.
In my Joeverse, he'd probably be completely different from his comic/cartoon portrayal. |

Put me down on the pro Duke side. He was one of my favorites as a kid.

I have always had a slight irritability when it came to Duke. The inconsistencies between the comic and cartoon may have contributed to this.

the comic version aswell as the cartoon version suck; they are both too boyscoutish. the resolute version, however, kicks major ass. overall he is lame.

I liked Duke because as a little kid picking out which action figure to get, he fit the following criteria:
1) I liked his colors. He stood out a little more from the normal olive drab characters. He still had green pants and that bandolier, but his shirt was tan. I dug it. 2) He had a lot of gear. Sometimes I would get a "lame" character just because he came with more accessories than a "cooler" character. I never owned an original 13 Stalker. Mainly because ALL he came with was his rifle. Duke came with that same rifle, a helmet, a backpack AND binoculars. That sold it for me. 3) The detail. I liked Duke's boots, his belt, his bandolier made him look like some swashbuckler, and I loved his two collars and the way his pockets on his shirt looked. Now, in the comic as far as the original 13 went, I loved Hawk. But I never had the MMS or a Hawk figure until the brown haired bomber jacket vs. 2. I did have Duke. So I made due. And the issue with the prefab fortress, captive cobra commander, storm shadow coming in under the radar with a c.l.a.w. and Duke breaking out the Sky Hawk for the first time was awesome, and one of the best drawn comics in the marvel run. That helped cement Duke as the field leader in my mind, until Flint came out anyway. I hated some of the stuff with Duke on the cartoon, of course, but not enough to sour me entirely on the character. |

I don't like Duke. Neither did Larry Hama - didn't use him that often. He, as I, preferred Hawk as the team commander. The cartoon did no favors for Duke, where he acted more like an officer than first shirt. But, in recent years, I don't like Duke because Hasbro is in love with the character, producing so many vairations on the yellow shirt/green pants figure without making any significant improvements, and then with the movie making even more Duke figures. Enough with the Duke!

I always hated Duke's character on tv and in the comics. Where was Hawk in the mini-series and in 85. I guess because he seemed to run the show instead of Hawk in those years really turned me off of Duke.
