lets see in my joe verse: Falcon is dead he had another confrontation with serpentor (serpentor ran him through with his sword and then placed his head on a spike outside the terrordrome). Sgt. Slaughter has retired and now resides in Arizona working a horse ranch. Snake eyes still doesn't talk because he's to stubborn to get the corrective surgery that has been discovered. Scarlet gave duke the finger and told him that her heart belongs to snake eyes so he needs to back off. Flint and Lady Jaye came out of retirement after the birth of their son (still haven't thought of a name). Roadblock quit to pursue his dream as a chef. Zartan and the dreadknoks all reside in federal prison for terrorist activity against the united states (they won't be released) Cobra Commanders daughter Vypra has switched sides because she says her father is a pompous a** with delusional dreams of world conquest. Baroness and Destro have settled down together and disappeared (its rumored they run a tourist attraction somewhere in europe). Serpentor and Cobra Commander still are fighting for 100 percent control of Cobra between each other. Bombstrike recently joined up with the team and is seeing gung-ho. Hawk died in the battle field on cobra island (doc and lifeline can't do anything for a headshot). Firefly's where abouts are unknown though he does pop up from time to time to blow something up. Storm Shadow has went back to japan and lives a life of solitude to further come to grips with the death of his father and find his truth path in the way of the ninja (he still wants to kill snake eyes)

General Hawk isn't paralyzed nemore, and he leads a team of SE, Duke, Scarlett, Beachhead, Barrel Roll, Lady Jaye (who isn't dead obviously... though that would make for some interesting moments), Varona, Cover Girl, Shipwreck, SnowJob, Roadblock, Stalker, Flint and Torpedo.
Together, they fight Cobra, led by an armored CC, the twins, SS, Firefly, Destro, Baroness, Zartan and everyone else. Basically, whichever figures I like to display. Also, SE, Scarlett, Barrel Roll and Beach are side by side with Boba Fett, the Secret Apprentice, Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura... Granted, thats cause they're my fave figs. |

Of course it is all in my mind....
My world adheres to the comic world up to Marvel #155. I don't think I have ever incorporated any of the DDP stuff into my world. I also included real-world aspects. After reading the issue of when the Joes go to Afghanistan, I wondered "what if" bin Laden was there......So now, I have my Joes hunting al-Qaeda.

Decided to dust off this old thread, rather than create a new one. In my joeverse, none of the characters have died. They all exist in a point in time where Cobra Commander is a competent leader, with the full confidence of his army and their leaders. Characters like Serpentor, Venomous Maximus, Golobulus, and Overkill are all creations of the Cobra Labs and are dedicated generals to Cobra commander. Dr. Rex Lewis is just another scientist, like Mindbender, Venom, and Hotwire. Iron Klaw and Baron Ironblood are also dedicated generals in foreign theaters. Krake is an ambitious general as well.
The Joes are an American team, although other countries have their version of joes, like Action Force and Oktober Guard. They cross train and occasionally foreign members, like Big Ben, do tours with the joes; as part of that cross training. |

I love this topic.
I pretty much have Cobra Split down the middle, with Destro being a 3rd force in and of himself. Cobra Commander still commands the Blue SHirt and Viper core, but Serpentor has much of the Special Ops guys under his command. There are probably more forces under CC's command. I sometimes move units around to make the two forces even but THis is how I can have both Alley-Vipers and Shock Troopers who perform practically the same function. AV under Serpentor and Shock under CC. The Coills are Serpentor's version of Blue-Shirts but there are no where near as many. I plan on having the CLAWS under Iron-KLAW. But SKAR, RED SHADOWs and RED SKULL + Clan DESTRO (Destro&Baroness; Dr. Doom; Darklon, and Uncle Magneto) all fall under the Cobra Umbrella.

I keep it pretty open and it is episodic, I took a big break from joes two times in my life but basicly I am continuing a story that started when I was 8 or 10 that loosely followed the comics, the cartoon except where it contradicts the comics. They are in the Marvel universe so Marvel heroes can show up, they do joint operations and excerises with SHEILD. The Earth they live and operate on is within the Star Wars Galaxies technology to visit as established by Marvel making Star wars Comics, ET visiting Earth and ETs race appearing in Star Wars 1 in the Glalactic senate...all that being established...
The episodes tell small story arcs in flash back, like for example I will get out the OG 13 and some green shirts, limit the vehicles to 82 and 83 or some other eras vehicles and characters and will play out how some event that I had imagined in my story when I was a kid but never had the stuff the set up went down or even what heppened during the years when I wasnt collecting and playing joes or I will progress the current timeline story, whichever I feel like playing. There are things the "viewer" doent know yet like the fate of some classic characters ( people I dont have yet, or havnt replaced yet) in the modern era. But since I completely stopped frollowing Joes around 89 anything after that is wide open to me. The joes were publicly compromised and disbanded at some point, brought back with purposefull disinformation for opsec, a leaner more easily sustained materiel list. Instead of lots of different one off non standard vehicles they use multiples of the best performers that are easiest to maintain. Thats my explanation for army building early classic vehicles. Some guys didnt re enlist immediately or their identities are still hidden or their assignments are highly classified, or maybe I just hevnt told their story yet. Code names are movable between operatives to ambiguate PII and IA and some new guys get old code names but some of the old hard liners and original guys got their handles from each other when the team was small so its a hard habbit to break. The New Modern Joe team is devided up by service, there are Army Navy AF and Marine groups as well as a dedicated Ninja force which is a paramilitary contractor group that can operate outside the Joe teams ROE if they feel compelled by a need, they have extensive plausible deniability and can operate false flag because they are mostly former Arishikage or Red ninja clan. Ninja force has a trainee/ greenshirtish uniform that is the DG wave 1 Storm Shadow figure and a "Second letter of Zen" trainee uniform that is the DG wave 2 Storm shadow figures. Tommy Arishikage leads ninja Force. The Steel brigade are green shirts who are armor ( Ret Joe troopers) Airborne (POC / 3oth SB figures) or maritime ( DG Shippys) qualified, those guys get code names when they get unique headsculpts, some use old unused code names and sometimes old characters will wear those uniforms just because PM soldier supplies the joe team with those uniforms en masse and for opsec, to conceal identities...in other words I will pretend like a guy in a mash is whoever I want it to be right then.. Some character specifics, Abernathy is still CO, people aquainted personally with him call him Hawk. Each branch has a functional XO, the position rotates to give major people with command decision responsibility experience and cross training in the role. Most named characters are NCO or at least buck seargents in rank, only the greenshirts and SB are E3-4. Duane Johnson has Slaughters old DI job, (hey wrestlers in Joe are a precedent) to me Marvin Hinton is still roadblock anyway. Snake Eyes and Scarlett are still together Flint and Lady Jaye are still together, Shippy and Cover Girl are as well. If I had a Jinx and Chuckles they would be but they are some of the characters who havnt showed back up yet so its still up in the air what happened to them. If I ever get them I will go back and play their missions and stories all the way up through the current era, thats how I always roll. Cobra is where I have my REAL fun, my story has always centered around Cobra. In my 'verse they are a goliath international corporation, a religious cult, a soverign nation on Cobra island with colonial territories on every continent on Earth, policy lobbyists both for their Corporate/ international business activities AND in capacity as their international religious organization and succsefully compomise the parlaiments and legislature of every major democracy on the planet through sheer force of finance, buying selling making and breaking politicians as they see fit. Most monarchies and dictatorships are in their pocket anyway through threat of force or shared ideals and priorities, they lead a new WARSAW pact style foil to NATO and the united Nations. They are insidous, cabable, compotent and the depths and secrets of their organization is still hidden and secure despite 3 + decades of cummulative intel on their activites. Serpentor becomes their figurehead and monarch and religious leader around the time they become their own recognized religion and nation, but I still play lots of stories before he is created. Cobra Commander however is the actual mastermind and pulls the strings even behind the scenes of Serpentors ruling council. He is known to be the commander in chief of Cobra's miltary. It is suspected but not proven that the Commander has enhanced his mental abilities continually and obsessively over the course of the war to the point where is he at least a match for Hawk in terms of leadership and strategic and tactical efectiveness. He is constantly improving his central nervous system with questionable results on his sanity but not his ability. Destro and the Baroness are just freinds of the commander, they may have had differnces or dissagreements in the past but will always band together against any outside threat. Baroness was an early financier of the movement and has an indeterminate role in the current aristocracy, her story after about 1999 has not been told as I do not have a ME version of the Baroness yet. Once Cobra became its own nation, Destro's Iron Grandiers became a secret sociaty that every one in his MARS defence conglomerate and the Cobra government denies exist. Destro does have his own MARS troopers and IG heavy equipment operators that feild his prototypes before they get the Offical government seal of Cobra, the sigil, placed on them as their internationally regognized nation markings. Storm Shadow is the name Cobra Commander gives to an elite squad of Tommy Arishikage clones that Mindbender created after the invasion of springfeild. There is pruposefull disinformation about which clone or version is even actually the original, who was brainwashed back into Cobra sevrice at one point but then, maybe, broke free and joined the Joes, or was that a planted Clone? Only Snake Eyes Scarlett Billy and Jinx know for sure who is who. Hey I gotta have a use for all those Stormy Figures! Cobra has a joint chiefs style military ruling junta made up of DG wave one Cobra Commander bodies with DG wave 1 Snake eyes heads I call the Cobra Marshals and their identities are secret. The Twins run the Corporate and intellegence services as well as the treasury of the Cobra Nation state and their equivilent of the Secret service/ chamber of commerce the Crimson Guard. The Dreadnoks are an international Biker gang, Zartan still leads but his appearence changing abilities have become unpredicatble over the years so he mostly stays in the rear with the gear anymore, Zandar has taken over his old role. It is an open secret that Cobra funds the organization and belief in the Coil religion is one of the mandatory requirements to be patched into the gang. Ripper Torch Buzzer and Zarana are not in the current story as I dont have the figures, I will tell their tale when I pick them up. The Red Ninja Clan are lead by Slice and Slash and are generally loyal to Cobra. Cobra-la is the deepest darkest secret of the entire 'verse. Ancient in origin and alligned with the Confederation of independent systems thousands of years ago when the clone wars broke out, it is uclear if they have had any contact with the Farraway Galaxy since then. the characters we are familiar with are only geneticlly engineered facades for the real power which remains hidden, and even those characters are hidden from all but the Commander, Serpentor, some high ranking Cobra Council members and the few early Joe team members who were around when the war devolved to the point that they were breifly revealed during the events surrounding the animated movie. The intel reports on them were classified above COMSO level and the Majestic twelve who may be compromised by Cobra if not Cobra -la itself actively suppress knowledge of their existance even going so far as performing selective memory nullification and persecution of any Gi Joe team members who learn of them. This was the purpose of the Joe team being dismabnded around 89 or 90 and they individuals on the team kept the fight going personally until the team was secretly reorganized by a group of Generals and Senators loyal to humanity who learned some of this and wished to religitimize the GI Joes. The Renegades are just the name the Joes use when they operate outside their capacity of their US or UN charter to avoid falling under the influence of a Cobra- La Conspiricy to destroy the free world since they can never again truely trust the Governments they serve.

my fan-fic world combines the US Marvel comics, the Battle Action Force comics and the events of the Marvel UK comics, but with AF characters in place of the Joe characters (and the same for BAF as appropriate), with a European arm of Cobra replacing the US characters in the Euro stories.
The stories take place after the events of the comics, or in between them. Or using characters not in the comics all the time. GI Joe was shut down in 1994. AF, the Canadian Joes, the Oktober Guard and the South American Action Commandos continue battling Cobra, the Coil - a Cobra splinter group - and the mercenaries of Skull Squad and the Black Dragons. In 1995, the Red Shadows reappeared, causing all sorts of trouble and leading to the reactivation of GI Joe after an assault on DC. Some of the Joes died during the Red Shadows assault, but Lady Jaye saved Flint from being shot by Dela Eden by shooting her. Sgt. Slaughter's serving at Parris Island pending retirement. Duke is nearing retirement in 1996. Hawk is a 2-star and CO, with 1-Star Flagg Jr. as his XO and Col. Courage as ops officer. Snake Eyes, Scarlett and Ninja Force are retired. Lady Jaye's retired and pregnant. Flint returned. Most of the returning Joes got promoted (basically everyone from 1982 to about 1988 got at least 1 rank bump if they weren't promoted in later figures' filecards). Stalker is poised to take over as NCOIC after Duke leaves. New Joes have been recruited since 1995, including Wet Down, Night Fox, Rollbar, Freestyle, White Out, Hollow-point, Wreckage, Thunderwing and a bunch of OCs, including a forward air controller, a pararescueman and some more Marines. AF expanded its roster considerably over the years and is a full blown army with naval and air support. The Oktober Guard and Action Commandos have added members too. Cobra was kicked out of Central Europe in 1994 by AF and has spent the last two years (to '96) rebuilding. |

Wow Warinthefloor that sounds like I may need to hear more of the Clone side of your universe. I try to include Star Wars and Marvel Universe figures in mine.
CaptBritain who else is in your Joeverse command? Does it combine with Action Force and Action Commandos and Oktober Guard?

Oh cool of course man.
Mindbender used the technology in the Marvel run to create Serpentor, bring Storm Shadow back to life when the Baroness shot him in the back so I just took it to the next logical conclusion so I can use all of my Storm Shadow figures at once. I pretend Mindbender used the files stored in the brainwave scanner, modified them to program a few Storm Shadow clones for use as Cobra Ninjas after the V2 good guy Storm Shadow came out in 88. I actually made this up way back then by the way as a way to use both V1 and V2. Then as I got back into Joes later in life I just kept the story going and complicated it with an angle where Cobra makes one that is a triple agent ( Not really, he just lies about being a double agent...) by kidnapping the original for years and having the clone inflitrate the joe team as a plant/ mole. This was all the commanders idea because in his Paranoia he couldnt have the real Storm Shadow running around loyal to joe and still trust any of the clone body guards. Once he kidnapped the original and stored a brainwave scanner flile from him, using one of the latest rev clones as an inflitrator to the joes was just a natural progression of the sheme. The Cloning technology is expensive and resource intensive so it hasnt been used on a large scale until recently. The Commander cloned himself to use the clones as body doubles years ago and some of those clones became strategicly usefull enough to become some of the Cobra Marshals, he also gives them esentially his authourity on the battle feild. As a result Cobra Commander gets " killed" repeatedly in my 'verse and the Joes are just now figuring out why he keeps coming back. This, again is how I use all of my various Cobra Commander Figures. Whichever figure I like the most, usually the latest best version, becomes the original disillusioned used car and appliance salesman who started Cobra as a pyramid scheme with a paramiltary wing in the 1970s. When the DG troopers became plentyfull I FINALLY had a good source of Cobra troopers, but they all look alike. TADA Cloning plot to the rescue. It is a hige PR boost to Cobra that they can feild a conventional army that Rivals the US China or Russia, claim to be an all volunteer force and loose vast amounts of connon fodder in big open warfare without the public being wise to it and the cloning of Cobra troopers is how that is accomplished. The Joes are well aware it is happening but the powers that be keep the information classified in order to keep a worldwide panic from ensueing and so an international clone race doesnt begin as less moral regimes around the world would try to aquire and implement the technology. Cobra has also made Snake eyes clones but halted the program because it always ends the same, deep in Snakes eyes ability to resist the brainwave scanner, the files they stored from him cannot be modified enough to make him disloyal to Scarlet Duke, Stalker or the United States. So the Snake eyes clones always turn on Cobra and seek out the Gi joe team no matter how Cobra tries to program them, They make up a portion of the Ninja force troopers and I have a bunch of the DG green Snake eyes as Joe Steel brigade. I pretended that joe raided a Cobra Cloning facility at one point and liberated a large number of these snake eyes clones that they then ran through a basic training and indoctrination program with the Rock and were given the file name "Joe" LIke I said a figure in a mask is anyone I want it to be in there, this is also why a lot of my DG Dukes/ green shirts/ grey shirts all look alike, thats actually pre Huey crash Snake eyes face. I also use that headsculpt on the other bodies I have a lot of so there are snake eyes clones scattered through all branches of my joe team. The Cloning thing seems like a big deal based on everything I just typed but in my 'verse its mostly a way to use limited figure sculpts to big effect and is a minor background element of a much bigger more sinister story, the technology was given to Cobra in refined form years before Dolly the Sheep was a reality by Cobra-la. I have fun playing with my toys man Im glad to tell you about it and im glad you asked. In my mind the answer to 'Whats it like in your Joe Universe?" is "AWESOME!!"
