Bored while on a road trip, I brainstormed what I would put in the next Joe comic series. Slowly, based on story elements and things I always wanted to see in the Joe universe, I created my team and go to work on issue "synopsisies".
The Team:
Hawk: Unit Commander
Duke- Field Leader
Stalker- Team Leader/Medic
Scarlett- Intelligence
Roadblock- Heavy Support
Beach Head- Armorer/ PT Instructor
Dial Tone- Communications
Snake Eyes- Commando
Storm Shadow- Ninja
Kamakura- Ninja
Spirit- Tracker/Infantry
Mayday- Combat Specialist/Urban Warfare
Barrel Roll- Pilot/Sniper
Firewall- Computer Specialist
Flint- Infantry
Gung-Ho- Ordanance/Heavy Support
Covergirl- Heavy Armor Driver
Shipwreck- Naval Operations/Infantry
Mercer- Infantry/Enemy Intelligence
Wild Bill- Pilot/Infantry
Torpedo- SEAL
President's Envoy
Ace- Pilot
Rock'n'Roll- Heavy Machine Gunner
Grunt- Infantry
Mutt & Junkyard- K-9 Officer
Stipulations for this story to work-
WWIII has to end with the above characters alive, and the following Cobras alive (or able to be said are alive, or have survived the battles somehow)
Cobra Commander
Major Bludd
Firefly
Copperhead
Tomax
Munitia
Blackout
Guillotine
Aleph
Interrogator
The general idea is that the team starts out a decent size, but not gigantic. Eventually, it would split to two titles that would run at the same time, and include cross-over events. However, the first few issues would go like this----
Issue 1
The Joes arrive at their new headquarters, The Pit II, to which SS comments is an uncreative name. After a quick debreifing of all that occured during the WWIII storyline, they get down to business. The Joes know that the Cobra Commander had to have contacts in the government in order to recruit US soldiers and agents like he did, as well as operate under the radar and procure some of his resources. Believing they can find answers in the most corrupt of military sources, the Joes decide to see if they can find anything in a compound siad to be once run by the late General Gibbs. However, when the team begins prep for the mission, Scarlett decides to remain at the base, sighting health issues. Snake Eyes confers with her, but goes with the team when she tells him to go. Once they arrive at the compound, however, the Joes discover that at the very least, Gibbs had a more profitable relationship with Cobra then we the readers or the Joes had thought; a full army's worth of BATs remain active at the mothball facility. The Joes fight their way into the compound, until finally they reach the epicenter, barricading themselves inside. Flint explores the room further, only to discover the most unexpected of surprises;
Lady Jaye, living and breathing but unconsious, attatched to life support.
Issue 2
The Joes reinforce their barricade while coming to grips with their discovery. Hoping to create a surprise attack on the straight-forward BATs, the Joes send out Storm Shadow, Kamakura, Snake Eyes and Spirit to ambush them from behind using vents. Meanwhile, Scarlett calls Jinx from the Pit II and attempts to have a conversation with her whilst Jinx brings down a bounty in Japan. The topic is Arashikage tradition. Back at the compound, Spirit and theothers succesfully ambush the BATs, but their armor and superior numbers keep the BATs from being defeated. Thankfully, Firewall taps into their network and creates a remote shutdown. Beach Head, frustrated, remarks of the anti-climactic finish. Stalker merely replies that "sometimes you get lucky". In a distant location, a somehow familiar group of shadowy powerplayers convene. The Joes must not be allowed to operate, despite their "publicity value" and the amount of diversions they could be used for, not if they are to follow up on their goal without being impeded in the future. At the Pit II, the team is conflicted; Overjoyed with not only Jaye's survival, but her retrieval, the questions it creates are numerous and startling; how did she survive? What happened at her funeral? And most importantly, how did a dead corrupt general manage to procure the former Joe and put her on life support while she lay in a coma? As the discussion continues, Snake Eyes leaves to check on Scarlett. She sits him down and asks him how much leave does he think they have racked up, specifically;
Maternity and paternity.
Issue 3
Flint, stoic, will not leave the comatose Lady Jaye. In the cbriefing room, Duke demands answers. How could something like this have happened? Through discussion, the Joes decide that the only course of action, to find out how Jaye came to be at the compound as well as the Cobra-Governemt connection, is to follow up on the late Gibb's activities and interests. Duke picks four teams for four missions; Spirit, Cover Girl, Beach Head, Mayday and Barrel Roll will go to Gibbs' former estate. Shipwreck, Torpedo, Stalker and Storm Shadow will infiltrate a SEAL training camp that was once run under Gibb's orders, believing the facility could be a cover. Wild Bill, Gung Ho, Kamakura and Mercer will fly a chopper to a "place that doesn't exist", a US detention center for captured Cobras. Finally, Duke, Roadblock and Dial Tone will "visit" one Col. Embers, a "person of interest" with Duke's former black ops allies. Firewall is to reamin at the Pit II to try to find anything through recovered disks from the compound previously raided. Snake Eyes stays behind with Scarlett after requesting a temp. and immediate leave of absence. Inside Scarlett's quarters, she remarks how he has remained silent, even for him. Snake Eyes removes his mask, and smiles at her, and signs the words "baby-names?" Meanwhile, in what was once the Silent Castle, the evil figures of Interrogator, Guillotine, Munitia, Firefly, Blackout, Tomax and Major Bludd stand in what resembles a dining room. Tomax addresses the others, telling them they have been called as the first to return to Cobra, and that what is next will make everything before pale. "The Commander is coming home."
Well, there's my premise. What do y'all think?
