"Delta Force" and "The Secret Army of Northern Virginia", etc. None of those elite units have names that stand for things. Joe has an official designation "Special Counter Terrorist Group - Delta" or whatever it is. "G.I. Joe" is like "Delta Force". Delta's official designation is "Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta". "G.I. Joe" is their common name. It's not supposed to be an acronym.
Just might seem kind of odd for a domestic operation to be done by a group with a pretty military name.

hey what are you guys that have your own Joeverse doing with Benchpress? Surely you are not keeping him as Rock-n-Roll with a new codename.

He's awesome. I wish they had just made Gung-Ho with this mold but he's pretty badass and I love new characters. But he's another Rock'n'roll to me. A machine gunner.

Thats what I do........ just was wondering if others did that? Hell, for all we know he is "The Son" of Rock-n-Roll........actually I said that in jest but its not really all that impossible or a bad idea.
Rock-n-roll could have been a young dad at 18 and 22 years later sill be vialble to be a Joe at 40 and have a son that is 22....any thoughts? |

Rollbar and Airborne, same figure, different colors, different character as far as I'm concerned. My Joe teams needs as many as it can get. Now the difference is if it's a different look and same code name. If similar enough (like the many SE) then it remains that character, but differnet enough (like the many Icebergs, Frostbites and Dustys) then they become new characters.
