For some reason Outback and Alley viper always survived. Alley viper was undefeated. He was a stand alone character. These are the last two I actually played with.

When I was a kid collecting Joes it was never even something I considered possible, so it was never something I wanted. Then the SAW Viper executed a bunch of Joes out of nowhere. Part of me was sad, but part of me was amazed.

I do t see it like that. There were a lot of non core character joes. You could easily kill off 40 and still have an amazing roster.

I am actually okay with killing all the dreadnoks except zartan. I find they are the three stooges of gi joe. Now if they made them a cool biker gang and not a bunch of morons than maybe.

GI Joe Kill list: Duke,Falcon, Dusty,Big Lob,Chuckles,Kamakura, Law and Order, Salvo, Agent Faces, Chameleon..and there's more but it's long list

Cobra kill list: Serpentor, Ghost Bear, Cobra Mortal, Venomous Maximus, Overlord, Hannibal, Scalpel..and a few more

As a kid, the deaths of the large group of Joes occurred about the same time I decided I was too old for toys and it sealed the deal. Why have a box of characters that are dead to me now.
Inintally I thought the group dying was to just make it easier for the lifelines, dial tones and the such to become more prominent, many of the, had been in uniform since the 60s.
I think seeing them retire would have been worse. Having Flint and LJ both retire to start a family would have really let me down.
The list of who I think now could have died is almost endless, some many one hit wonders like airtight, dusty, alpine, bazaooka. I loved them as a kid but now I just envision every few years a writer brings them out of the drawer to fill an environment. We also have a few obsolete skill sets like anyone in the US military with a flamethrower or anyone who’s specialty was “computers” since computers are common day now.
For cobras, I hated when some from the freighter entrapment somehow survived like firefly. The Zartan twins could have died and I would have been fine. Major bludd should have eaten a bullet from Destro of CC.

Really, a Joe needed to die in the Borovian failed mission on the gulag, to send that story home. I nominate Snow Job.

Scarlett's bullet to her head should've ended her. Then Snake-Eyes could go after the Baroness or she'd die as a result of his vendetta (not by SE's hands because he's still a "hero") , putting firmly Destro back in the villain camp forever.

Hawk dying from his wounds in Borovia...yeah...do it. New Joe leadership shake-up.

Darklon never should've been "killed" the first time.

El Jefe needed to eat a few hundred bullets.

These are epic.

Can't really think of anyone I'd actually want killed off other than some recent and rather obnoxious "gimmick" characters like Helix and Dawn Moreno. Hell, I was kind of pissed when Raptor died...

Snake Eyes should have died around 89. Give him his final figure then off him in the Marvel comic, and never bring him back.
