All this talk about SS in the new movie had me thinking about his comic evolution and regression of sorts.
I loved Storm Shadow while he was a Cobra..enjoyed him as a Joe somewhat..more so in later incarnations with Devils Due than with Marvel. It makes me laugh now when I look at back at his appearances as a Joe..when he is unmasked/unhooded he looks more American..in some cases you can't tell he's Asian at all. That being said: What your favorite Storm Shadow era? I will always remember SS as a man on a mission to find his Uncle's killer. He did unspeakable deeds and was even ready to strike down Billy when he attacked CC at the Springfield ceremony. Favorite look? Mine is the classic Cobra uniform, sleeveless uniform. Nothing fancy, but truly iconic. Least favorite era and look? I actually like all of the looks he had, although the last version which was more black than white would probably be my least fav. Was SS being groomed to be the next Snake Eyes as the main Joe/hero focus in the book? I never realized how much time he was getting in the later years and forgot he was the Leader of Ninja Force, not Snake Eyes. |

I still want him to be a bad guy just because I think Cobra is nothing without him. I prefer the idea of a man on a violent road to justice who doesn't care about the innocents that are harmed along the way as opposed to the "ignore my evil deeds, I'm now a Joe".
If he discovers the killer, and it causes him to question his allegience to Cobra. Fine. That doesn't mean he gets immunity. I don't think he ever was officially the leader of NF, just a guy trying to reclaim his honor by training the Joe ninjas. |

My favorite figure of all time. He will always be Cobra to me.

Joe in my eyes but not a goody too shoes tool. Tragic hero, flawed, definitely nowhere near perfect, messed up, but one who does right in the end and only joined Cobra to find out who framed him.
Favorite costume, hard to say, toss up from Ninja Force and V2 88, 2002 GVC and the DDP Mike Zeck and later, solo series designs were great. I felt that Master and Apprentice II's whole point was just to return him to the good side but the way Jerwa ended it was awesome; Snake Eyes passing over leadership of the remaining Red Ninjas/Arashikage Clan to Storm Shadow, and the Young Master ascending to Phoenix Master. This was a highly overlooked miniseries, especially the last issue. |
