I was always really into the comics and Stalker was one of the really key characters - one of Joes with a little more substantial personality.
He was the natural small unit leader - highly capable in all fields, without being a superman. He wasn't the scariest or the deadliest or the best shot or the most intimidating or the most badass. He was aggressive and decisive, but never gratuitously ruthless. Compared to characters like Duke, Beachead, and Flint you got the sense that he was in a healthy place mentally, and wasn't trying to prove anything to himself or others.
He was the powerful personality that could keep the Joes with the really big egos in check, the guy who made the tough calls without flinching, the guy who kept an eye out for everyone on the team, the leader who lead through respect rather than testosterone or intimidation.
Check out the original Borivia story arc to see Stalker at his very best, and also the war in Trucial Abyssmia.
