So in the live action movies Destro is supposed to be Scottish or Irish?
But in the old cartoon and the old Marvel Comics G.I Joe series did they ever say where hes from originally? |

In the movie I just assumed he was Scottish. I actually very much liked Eccleston's portrayal of Destro as an arms dealer before he got the mask and was embroiled in Cobra

In skeletons in the closet (Sunbow season 1), Renegades, and Rise of Cobra, He was made out to be Scottish as far as I can remember.

I'm unaware of any interpretation of Destro that was not intended to be Scottish. Even Eccleston is trying to do a Scottish accent as far as I can tell.

Destro can be whoever you want him to be. Destro can be American. Destro can be Russian. Destro can be Chinese. No nationality is excluded. Let's not put Destro in an identity box. Destro is everyone and everyone is Destro! #IAMDESTRO.

He doesn't sound remotely Scottish in the cartoons though. He sounds more like a bloody robot.
Hilariously in 2009 there were Scots getting their panties in a bunch about a Scot being the villain in GI Joe: Rise of Cobra and then arguing over who got to claim Scotty as their son with the reboot Trek movie. (Is her Aberdonian or from some where else?) |

I always thought Destro sounded black in the cartoon but new he was Scottish.
