Merc never really interested me so much as a kid, other than the fact that I found it interesting that a guy who had probably killed Joes was now one of them.
Now, I really like the figure and the character. He has an awesome realistic sculpt and is a great figure with the exception of the anti-Cobra tattoo which I plan to remove. Do any special stories of him exist outside of the GJ Joe movie and few mentions in the classic Marvel comic? Any Action Force material? In my Verse, he was more than just A Viper....he was THE Viper responsible for some heavy duty damage and ops against The Joes. |

I really would have liked the definitive Mercer, I guess in cartoon colors, first. But he is a nice figure. The head sculpt is killer.

Lol, I don't know any cool Mercer stories outside of Sunbow, lol. I'm not sure, but I think he might have been in DiC, only with his ultra manly beard though, but I could be wrong. Mercer is sick, and I love it when he spits on that scorpion. Take that scorpion, lol!

One of the GI Joe special missions comics during the devil's due era heavily featured him (and was an excellent story, to boot...).
But yeah, I love this figure. Why don't you like the anti cobra tattoo? I thought that was a cool touch. |

He was in the DD Joe/ TF crossover but I think he eats it pretty hard.

And the tat just looks...cheesy. A Cobra being eaten by flames...or a dragon eating the Cobra would have been cool...but a plain circle and bar? Too Ghostbusters for me... |

I liked Mercer and the other Renegades the second I saw them back in '87. I don't care for the modern updates too much, but Mercer is def the best out of those three.
I remember flipping through a particular Devils Due book that I hated. It had a very "average-looking" Mercer getting his ass kicked and called a traitor by the VvV character Razorclaw(?).

That's the same one I remember liking a good bit. lol. It is Special Missions: Manhattan. Haven't read it in quite awhile, but at the time, I thought it had some good character building moments between the joes.
