In Operation Lady Doomesday, General Austin asks to see those G.I. Joe dossiers. On the basic read-out it shows 14 service records. Beside Snake-Eyes read-out there is a guy named SHOOTER, but his face is covered by the operator's hand on the display board. Does anybody know more about this Joe?

This was an inside joke/tribute/gag relating to Jim Shooter, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief at the time. Recently, another comic publisher ran with this, and actually created a character based on this gag. In reality, there was no 14th Joe in 1982.

I'm new to the Joe comics so I'm sure I'll have more stupid questions.

The character Shooter appears in GI Joe Declassified, a 3-issue special edition by IDW. Pretty cool story, actually. But yes, originally it was an inside joke for Jim Shooter.

Amazon.com: G.I. Joe - Declassified (G. I. Joe (Graphic Novels)) (9781932796742): Larry Hama, Pat Quinn: Books So Shooter exists and is an African American female. A very cool fan project is linked elsewhere in this thread to make an o-ring Shooter. |

The "Declassified" series is rad. That Shooter origin eclipsed the Jim Shooter origin for me, since it was all written by Hama.

I agree. I even asked Hama after the ddp was deemed disavowed if he still considered the declassified to be the same continuity as the marvel run. I do, but he said basically he considered all the titles to be a seperate universe even the marvel special missions. I still consider the declassified official marvel continuity though. ;)

Technically there were 15 original Joes in the comics counting Shooter. Gen. Flagg was also a Joe, but not made into as figure in 1982
