I assume Bubbavader meant the point at which someone in Hasbro or Marvel officially revealed that Snake Eyes was a ninja. It’s trivia, but a fair question considering that nobody originally had any specific ideas for the Joes or their backstory. The only reason Snake Eyes came about was because the designers ran over budget for paint apps and thought an all-black character would be a cool work-around. The version of the story I heard was that Larry already had notes for a stealthy assassin type character, which he then turned into Snake Eyes.
I suspect Larry intended Snake Eyes to be a ninja from the beginning. It’s one of the very first issues where they reveal Scarlett (ostensibly the Joe martial arts expert) is exceeded by Snake Eyes. That doesn’t happen by accident! I can’t remember exactly which issue it is... I don’t have my comics with me at the moment.
