Someone else who doesn't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus, belongs in early Joe lore. It makes sense. Yet not to have Indy verses Hydra and the Red Skull or teaming up with the Howling Commandos. Nor do I want Indy as a surprise founding member of the Joes. Indy was in the Pacific and Asia in 1935. Shrine of the Sea Devil (Comic) The Emperor's Tomb (Game) The Temple of Doom (Movie) Temple of the Forbidden Eye (Ride) At first, I was thinking The Dinosaur Eyes, also set in Mongolia, but that was 1933. Had to look the year up. The Forbidden Eye has a giant Cobra in the Temple. Sorry for the spoilers but you have had decades. The Snake room can easily include Cobra-La artifacts. As we know from Raiders Hitler has archaeologists digging all over the place for artifacts. A new German antagonist is trying to find Cobra-La. Indy had already stumbled across artifacts in Forbidden Eye and dismissed the snake people of Cobra-La as confusion with the giant Cobra. The Nazis are not Cobra. The Joes need Jones' research to stop Cobra now. The Jones part of the story is told as the opening then in flash backs.

Duke shows up in Marvel Secret Wars 2 along with Green shirts and some Joe vehicles, particularly the Skystriker.
In that comic The Beyonder turns a skyscraper into pure gold which collapses. The government has to clean it up and dispose of the gold in an ocean trench so the worlds economy doesn't collapse. The Joes provide security and escorts during the process... |

I think there's two big issues with trying to crossover GI Joe and Marvel.
1. The type of conflict is completely different. One is a globe-traversing James Bond-style action adventure with a team of (relatively) grounded American soldiers fighting a group of villains who are on the edge of sci-fi, all with mostly standard human weakness and strength. GI Joe has some weirder elements, but it's not the status quo for the world. The other is a weird multiversal mix of magic, mutants, freak science accidents, devils and who knows what else in a weird perpetual state of dying and un-dying, no matter how grounded the individual. Spell casters, mutants, weirdness and aliens are the status quo for the Marvel world, to the point where you can't really separate the more normal people from the weirdness. 2. The second issue is: does including Marvel characters actually add anything to GI Joe? For instance, a Duke/Captain America team up might sound cool on paper, but does Cap really bring anything to the table that Duke doesn't? Would they have anything to talk about? ("America is awesome." "Yep.") You would just wind up with two characters doing the exact same thing, and that usually just means you have too many characters. For another example, would Zemo and Hydra really add anything that Cobra Commander and Cobra aren't able to do, and do better? I don't know much about comics, so I could be way off, but I don't really see it adding anything to the story that existing characters can't already do. To put it another way, the parts that are far out superhero cosmic weirdness don't fit, and the parts that are more in line with Joe would be redundant. |
