The character of Shooter, one of the O14. has been a long mystery, never really explained till image/idw
Yes, Shooter was the name of a Marvel's exec at the time, and who wants a team with only an unlucky 13? Especially MARVEL at that time while competing with DC. So of course, Shooter..a sniper, when back in the day no-one would want to touch on the intricitities of war. Strike first, and hard.... Deadly. It wouldn't really be till 86' when Hasbro/Marvel intro'd a sniper/NIGHT SPOTTER, LOW-LIGHT, that people began to take interest. And like all the other characters in 86', they were all a plan to take the place of the O13 (CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!)

The real question should be who are the other 6 members? Look at the panel in question. You see the Original 13 we all know and love, you see the mysterious Shooter, but look at the screens showing the faces, each screen shows 4 faces, well half of the first screen is "off camera" so there should be two more Joes there and on the other end of the console you can see the corner of another screen so logic dictates that there should be 4 more faces there...Who are the mysterious 6?

I have never heard of her so I opened my GI Joe #1 comic and finally noticed her. I don't think I ever paid that much attention so thanks everyone for sharing.

Wasn't Shooter that movie with Marky Mark from the funky bunch in it? Kind of a piece of stinking ofal, if I remember correctly.

I think somebody did a custom of Shooter (G.I.Joe version not Marky Mark version) some time ago - or was I dreaming that? |

Good call, Shogi!
The one on the top right clearly shows a bald head. Can we suppose it is Gung Ho? (I know this was not the case at the time they wrote it because Gung Ho wasn't thought up yet, but it's fun to think about stuff like this!) JLT |

Second series Joes of course! Torpedo, Snow Job etc... but just in their Green Shirt attire. (and just out of sight so we didn't know they were coming)
