A Para-Viper is an specialized EEL. EEL's are Cobras SEAL team. SEAL stands for Sea, Air and Land. The Navy SEALS are troopers that can fight and kick-ass in any territory. They can go from the sea onto the land and the gear reflects that.
The Para-Viper is even more specialized to be equipped to be dropped from high altitudes. EELs would drop from Helicopters, Para-Vipers would drop from C-130s high up. The flippers are so they could land in the water and swim to shore to do their dirty work. These guys come with everything they could possibly need for any condition. Hasbro should take a nod from these guys and remake Torpedo. Torpedo is not a diver, he's a SEAL. Torpedo should not have high alitude drop gear, but he should have gear to be able to function on land. He should have flippers that he can carry with him, like the Para-Viper. I love the Para-Viper. It's such an awesome figure.

It's a lot easier to land in the water and swim to shore. It's a big open area, nothing to hit, don't have a small target to try to land in, etc..
