Duke has to be the most polarized character in GI Joe. No other character could be winning a poll like this by so much and have people rooting for ANYONE else to beat him. He's that guy you play cards against, and you don't even care if you win, just as long as he doesn't.

Never cared for Duke.
Bland, boy scout types aren't interesting at all. |

I agree that he is very polarizing. The reason I held off on my vote was so that I could maybe vote for the character that had the best chance of beating him (not that that helped).
I think the reason that he is so divisive is that he represents a shift away from things that early Joe fans hold dear. There was already a blonde leader who led from the front. There was already a cool (much more interesting) second in charge. There was already a poster boy for the franchise, and Scarlett already had a (much more developed, complex) relationship. I won't let my kids watch the cartoon because I don't want them thinking that Duke is any of those things. |

That's awesome. Like I said before, I struggled with his character early on because I had him pitted against Hawk in my mind. I didn't like that it seemed he was pushed on us to replace Hawk.

Agreed. In fact, I felt like he was there to replace Hawk, Stalker, and Snake-Eyes.

Duke 20 votes and Hawk 3? WTF?!? What about Marvel comics? If this is going strictly by the cartoon, then Shipwreck would be #1!

I am surprised Duke didn't get number 4. Then Hasbro could look at this poll and say "we've been giving you what you want in every wave of figures".

This is just it for me, boring character. I don't hate him. I just don't think he's a top 10 greatest character.

I know I wouldn't put Duke anywhere near my top 5.
my Top 5 Joes would be: Snake Eyes Stalker Scarlett Flint Lady Jaye Roadblock, Hawk, Ace, Airtight and probably Tunnel Rat rounding out the top 10. |
