I guess I am thinking more Cobra here, as I think over the different series and reboots, we've seen a bigger difference amoung them than the joes. But I was thinking how I really liked some versions of the characters over the others and it got me to this list. . .
Cobra Commander - The IDW version - just love the elegant look. Its money. 2nd might be the Sigma 6 version cause he was such a badass. Baroness - IDW for sure. She is such a psycho over the top killer that even I am like holy crap what is she going to do next. Sometimes its a little over the top, but she definately gets me paying attention to whatever issue I am reading when she is in it... like I'll get shot if I can't pass the quiz after. Destro - I have never been a big Destro fan, but I did like the early Marvel run where he was the counterpart to Hawk where CC was the counterpart to Flagg. I liked him as some "special Ops guy" versus owning armies and so forth later on. I also didnt mind his early roots in Renegades. Love the character design in Resolute though. Storm Shadow - While not as sophisticated as lets say, the Marvel or Renegades versions, I thought he was badass in Sigma 6. He also owned Snake Eyes more than Snake Eyes owned him. It was like he was beating him and schooling him at the same time. Zartan - I loved Zartan in Sigma 6, especially design-wise, but I have to hand it to Renegades for the character development. I mean, starting out with the whole biker roots, mimicing voices, then aquiring the suit, as opposed to using holograms or nanos or whatever. I dont have many hates, but God to I hate ROC Zartan. Terrible, terrible choices on that guy. Firefly - I actually loved Firefly in Sigma 6. Definately one of the best highlights of season 2 in addition to introducing all of the vehicles. While I agree not the traditional Firefly, and he could have just been a new character - I still thought it was ballsy. Nothing will ever top the 1984 version of him though, early in the Marvel run. Hate when he became a ninja or worse, adopted the lime green and grey suit. No idea what Hasbro was thinking there. Cobra Trooper - I loved the original Cobra - The Enemy for years. . . with his knife, backup pistol. I loved the Cobra Officer too and that they shared very similar uniforms (in my world - Cobra Officers were badasses). I never really moved on to the Vipers and their many variants. Loved the Resolute Trooper for awhile until... the Shock Trooper came out. In all honesty, if cobra did exists, their troops would prob look just like these guys and not be wearing red or any of the bright colors we see in the others. Yet in a strange twist - I liked the white Cobra troopers in Sigma 6. Strange. Anyway that is really all I can think of at the moment. I was wondering who everyone else liked.

I'm a comics guy, I never watched any of the TV shows.
I generally prefer the depiction of the Joes from the original Marvel ARAH run. But many of the Cobras have really gotten a lot more interesting with IDW. |

I never followed the comics. I'm all about 3.75 action figures.

Cobra Commander Resolute and some of the comics like the real american hero stuff and IDW ive always imagined him as a deadly and is the most dangerous man in human history i mean if he runs an organization full of terrorists and mercs he has to be the most evil one there.
Snake Eyes its hard to say because hes usually the silent bad ass but i like the Resolute version the way he tackles Cobra forces he has the skill and provision of a ninja but sets traps and enters missions in a commando like way too Destro comic book versions really i liked him in Resolute but he didn't get enough development like alot of the characters. Those are just a few i mainly prefer the comics because they can be alot more darker grittier and realistic in ways.And in my Joe verse i tend to follow those lines with my own spin on stuff too of course i do also love to see what people have come up with in their own joe verses too further inspiring me as-well |

Cobra Commander: Really tough call between IDW, Renegades and classic RAH, but I think ultimately IDW created the winning design for the character.
Snake Eyes: Renegades by far. After that I would say the Jai Lee design for the Transformers/GI Joe WW2 crossover. Scarlett: Renegades by far. I hated hated hated the character until this cartoon and she is now my favorite Joe. Zartan: Resolute nailed it. Firefly: Renegades, yet again. Totally new take on the character but it really is unique and fits. Tunnel Rat: Definitely Renegades. Mindbender: Renegades. I didn't "get" the change at first but he really grew on me. Flint: Resolute. Major Bludd: Renegades. |

Downtown: Once again IDW all the way Law: version 3 battle corps Law rules 100% better than goofy grin law. |

Aesthetically, the IDW look for Tripwire makes him look legitimately cool and badass, but I wish he had more of a personality.
I prefered Beachhead back in the old Marvel comics where he's more of an antisocial "lone wolf" soldier than a badass drill sergeant. I also think one of the characters that Marvel presented best was definitely Stalker. |
