I turned Hawk into a desk driver. Duke is my field commander. Resolute Duke demands respect, damnit!

Although Hawk was officially out back in 83 with the Missile set. In the file card it just says he is the "Missile Commander." No where in the file card does it imply he is the team leader.
However, also in '83 when the MASS device series came out, Duke was the leader and Duke was the leader up until '86 when Arise Serpentor Arise came out. Then all of the sudden we get General Hawk. "First comes Hawk, then Duke, then me, and finally you." Everyone know what I am talking about. That was the little kids pep talk to teach us what the pecking order was going to be from then on. I never agreed with it. I enjoyed the episodes but after Dr. Mindbender came on the scene, I always took these episodes as semi-canon or tongue in cheek if you will. I never could grasp someone was going to be Dukes boss. He is Top Sargent. Realistically, there always will be a superior officer and Duke is only a NCO. Conversely, if you read the comics, Hama was nice to make the chain of command far more realistic. In it Hawk was the team leader. what I never been able to understand is how Hawk, Duke, and Snake Eyes without injuries appear to be the same guy! Knowing how the G.I.JOe universe is very coincidental, I say they are all cousins but it is all CLASSIFIED. "OOOOOO!!!! CLASSIFIED!!!!!! SPOOKY LANGUAGE!!!

Hawk sends the Joe's on their missions, and Duke goes on them.
When Hawk comes out to play, you know it's big. |

I suppose it all depends on who you have that outrank Duke. Leaving out Air-Force pilots;
Gen Flagg-was in the Coffin in DDP Courage-has never appeared in any media Sure-Fire-has never appeared in any media Major Storm-Has never appeared in any media Bullet-Proof-technically on loan from US Marshall Claymore-DDP appearance Grid-Iron-Cartoons and was the Leader but not in Comics Rapid-Fire never appeared in any Media The Leuitenants are almost too young to be considered main leaders. The Warrant Officers are different types of leaders compared to Senior NCO's. (Flint and Wet-Suit, Wet-Down) But Flint vs Duke is another debate. Still who is on top? Hawk, and Colton as well. I tend to prefer Duke as an officer but as an enlisted man he is a Team Leader who just happens to be the most senior NCO. I realize most people will disagree with me but I truly believe DDP had an excellent plan with bringing in the original G.I.Joe Colton to be the commanding officer. It only makes sense that the team be leaded by the group originator. I know alot of people hated what DDP did but I liked it and it made sense. Colton made a good General but I fear everyone will forget this took place. Colton kicks Hawks ass!

Hawk is it. All the way. Always has been. Duke will forever take the orders from the man.

In my Joe-verse they both take orders from Rodimus Prime.

Never was a fan of Duke and as I recall, Duke really wasn't in the comics as much as Hawk was. Personally, I've always liked Hawk. He was always tough and a strong leader. Never really felt the GI JOE Team needed Duke and everyone seems to forget, that there are a few other NCOs on the Joe team that outrank him.
