Yes.
The Joe team that Hasbro has given us is pretty lacking. Lots of positions are missing. There isn't enough Marines to make up a squad, same with SEaLs. Not enough communications guys. The Joe's don't have a Combat Weatherman, or any Combatant Craft Crewmen. No Pararescuemen. Steeler can't drive a tank alone, he needs a crew. Repaints tend to get renamed. Same character in a different custom gets renamed. Only need one Duke, so the others become different characters.

I'd guess that about a quarter of my entire collection is made up of custom figures, and half of those are original characters. I've always added new recruits to the team, and created "made to die" characters as well.
I can think of a few instances where I took a Hasbro character and renamed/recharacterized him, and that would be Sky Patrol Airborne becomming Eagle, and Battle Corps Beachhead becomming a new Navy SEAL called Breach. There may be others but those are the two that come to mind.

I've made up a few characters. I have few characters that are just filecards at the moment. I've done customs of a TACP, a Sapper, a Marine Corps Aviator and a Recon Corpsman. You can see them in my profile albums.

I never really invented my own characters, but when GI Joe first came out, I mixed them with various Kenner Star Wars figures. The ATAT Driver, Tie Pilot, and Snowtroopers were all underwater divers for Cobra at some point.
Also I jumbled a few ARAH figures together and repainted it into the Punisher when I was a teen, making my first custom. Frank Castle has been a former member of GI Joe ever since.
