It seems general, but I just couldn't get more specific in the title.
I got some questions that I just can't seem to find the answers to... I was hoping you could all help... 1. What is with the name Snake Eyes? I don't get it, what is snakeish about his eyes? Does the name mean/describe anything? 2. Does anyone know Snake Eyes real name? 3. So armored Cobra Commander isn't the REAL Cobra Commander? If it was someone else in that suit wouldn't everone in Cobra know that it isn't the real CC because the real CC never wore the Battle Armor? 4. If the Crimson Guard don't fight on the battlefield, than just where and how do they fight? 5.What's a lower rank, a Cobra Trooper or a Cobra Viper? or are they the same? Thanks in advance. These might be stupid questions but whatever, I just don't get it. |

1. Snake Eyes is a dice terms.
2.CLASSIFIED 3.I think he wore it for a little bit of one issue of the comic and then got shot in the back and had his identity jacked 4.They're lawyers, politicians and accountants, they fight in the corporate world 5.Depends on who you ask, no official reasoning. You could have gotten Q's 2, and 4 from reading the filecards

Popsicle Viper:
1: Not really sure, but Snake Eyeseclassified has a partial answer to this question. It has nothing to do with the type of eyes he has, though. 2. Probably Stalker, Storm Shadow, and Scarlett know his real name, but this has never been revealed. 3. CC did wear the armor two or three times before Fred VII shot him. The armor was equiped with "voice synthesizers" to hide the ID of the wearer, so nobody would know who was really in the armor. 4. CG's are "sleeper"agents, and they do occaisionally fight on the battlefield. See the Cobra Civil War in Marvel's GI Joe 73-76 for an example of this. 5. I believe that Vipers are the lowest rung on the ladder, according to their Hope this helps! filecards. |

I know that, but than what is the point of having a gun or wearing a red suit? It's not like if thier undercover they can wear that suit. ...Frustrating |

Snakeyes name always bothered me. Always thought he was on the wrong team or switched sides.

As to the "dice term" for Snake Eyes' name, I'm going to clarify a bit further, and I'll be honest - he's been my favorite character in Joe, and frankly beyond forever, and I didn't get it until well into my collecting years, so don't feel bad.
When you roll the dice, and you get two "1's" it's called Snake Eyes. In most games/gambling, rolling "Snake Eyes" is the unluckiest roll you could get. So they gave Snake Eyes that name to reflect his awful luck. Back Luck for SE: 1. Shot up to heck in Vietnam 2. Family killed in a car wreck by a drunk driver on their way to pick him up for the airport 3. Incredibly scarred by a helicopter accident, leaving his face destroyed and vocal chords useless. 4. Etc., etc. Hope that helps. |

3. Baroness vouched for Fred on Cobra Island, lying to everyone that he was the real deal so she could become "second in command"...The real Commander only wore the suit in Freds garage...once Billy came out of his coma, He renounced his evil ways only to have Fred shoot him and steal the armor.

as for the SeeGees, think of the red guards that guarded the Emperor in Jedi...their job was to look regal and imposing.
