I used to like Storm Shadow as a Joe but the more I think about it he does work better as a Cobra with an inner conflict. I agree with Shin that Storm Shadow has a lot of depth, but I think more of his depth has to do with his inner conflict when he is with Cobra. Besides, SE vs. SS makes it a better story than SE and SS.

Having Storm Shadow turn good was one of the worst moments of GI Joe. It would be akin to Darth Vader turning on the Empero--oh yeah. It would be like the Klingons become friend with the Federa--oh yeah. It would be like the Joker becoming the new Boy Wonder! There! He's still bad right?

He should always be cobra. Even back in the day when he switched sides I always kept him as a Cobra

Agree he is much better as a cobra, and the only one that can keep SE in line.

I posted this in another thread:
"As for Storm Shadow. He's dead. I hope he stays dead. But if for some reason they bring him back, it's not that hard to explain. He's a ninja. We all know that ninjas can come back from the dead. Maybe the araishakage ninjas resurrect him or something, but doesn't matter, he comes back. And that sets up his road to redemption (again, I don't want it to happen, but it's easy enough to figure out how it can work). He's been dead. He was killed because of his own greed and jealousy, he killed his uncle and others (poor Bazooka) because of it. So he's ressurected and his time in death has made him see the errors of his ways. He knows what he did was wrong and now seeks to atone for it. There ya go. How SS becomes a good guy. And I hope it doesn't happen."

G.I. Joe. I'm open to all the new continuities of G.I. Joe that aren't tied to the Marvel run but the Marvel run has always been my favorite.
Storm Shadow has a lot of depth, he is a noble figure, a tragic hero. He was never evil. Sure he had his flaws, and he had inner demons and turmoil to fight off, but he was always a heroic character. He had to live a lie to find the truth, and that lie was that he was evil, which in reality he wasn't. Once he found the truth, he didn't need to be with Cobra any longer, so I prefer him as a joe. Sure he was with Cobra sometimes afterwards but only because he was brainwashed. The key aspect of him is that he is a hero who must live a lie to find the truth, and he isn't perfect, he has flaws which he must face. Take away all of that, and he's just a generic evil ninja in white. Then they made the ninja figures and armor.

Stay with Cobra. The whle Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow rivalry - hatred - fight exists so long as they are on opposite sides of the game. Were they to be on the same side it would take the fun out of that ongoing fight.
