Since we’re talking James Bond, Larry Hama worked with Howard Chaykin on the Marvel Comics adaptation of For Your Eyes Only shortly before ARAH launched

This movie also comes to mind, but turns out it hit theaters in 1983. I don't remember much about it, just the bow and it being probably the first movie to have a laser sight on a firearm.

She's counter-intel, not charging into battle on the front lines. Brains are her asset, with a dash of silent weapons/martial arts expertise because 1980s/Hama. File card shows sniper training and other small arms proficiencies. It's weird to think that she would only fight with a crossbow.

For Your Eyes Only is underrated big time. It's right up there with The Spy Who Loved Me as Moore's best in my book. Carole Bouquet was great, the Citroen chase was some of the most fun in the entire series and the cliff assault is pretty memorable. It slows down just a bit by the end, but it's a great film. Quote:

It's cool that she had specific training in using the Ka-Bar and garotte. She definitely should have been the "team ninja".

Given GI Joe's original team lacked a sniper, I presume Scarlett was the one sent in to snipe from afar with her crossbow.
Always was odd that the original team lacked a sniper. And no, I don't mean Shooter (the first one, not the retconned one) who was only a footnote in the comics, too. |

I'd assume she would be using the M-700 that was listed on her file card for that work, not the dinky crossbow, but agree she could have been meant to fill that role based on what we know about the character.
