I've always associated GI JOE with Marvel Comics for obviosu reasons.
The question is, which Marvel Characters fit in the GI JOE A Real American Hero universe without breaking the lore? Meaning, if we use the "rules" established by ARAH, which Marvel Characters could plausibly be integrated into the Joeverse. B.A.T.S., Serpentor and CObra-La represents the far edges of how outlandish ARAH can get. With that said, I'm working on a criteria: 1. NO magic associated characters. ARAH has never (as far as I know) incorporated straight magic. So, Dr Strange, Mephisto.. out. 2. No Aliens or Cosmic characters. Thanos, Galactus, Skrulls...out. 3. No mutants. It would break the GI JOE lore. 4. Characters who get their powers by random chance are out. Spider-man, Daredevil, Fantastic Four etc. Something about characters who get a wild array of powers by chance feels "off" 5. INTENTIONAL Science based heroes are fair game. Anything involving a "super serum" is valid. Captain America, Hulk, Abomination... I feel are fair game. 6. Tech heroes. Iron Man, Deathlok, MODOK, all fair game. 7. No time travellers. So I'll begin the list of Marvel Characters that can be incorporated into the Joeverse: Captain America and any Super Soldier Red Skull Hydra SHIELD A.I.M. Hulk The Punisher Kingpin Luke Cage Iron Fist Shang Chi (this is questionable) Black Panther and Wakanda Please help me add to this list. |

If magic is out, Iron Fist is out because his powers are magic. Shang-Chi has had magic powers, but is generally just martial artist. If you disallow Spidey, Daredevil and the F4, because you don't like the random chance element, you have to disallow Hulk, Abomination, She-Hulk et al, since they're random chance too.

Shang-chi is the least questionable of all...

https://gijoe.fandom.com/wiki/Shang-Chi Captain Britain no doubt already knows this. Captain Britain... Excalibur is firmly established as GI JOE canon so I see what you did here. So maybe an amendment should be "magic is only acceptable if introduced in the animated series or the Marvel RAH series." |

Taskmaster and Crossbones would be great Cobra agents.
Night Thrasher and Prowler would be decent Joes (or Prowler could even be Cobra, if you go the criminal route, with him). Kraven the Hunter would be interesting as a Dreadnok. Just lose the magic herb powers of his and make him a straight hunter. He could be Gnawgahyde's partner. Speaking of Dreadnoks, the Reavers are the Marvel equivalent of the Dreadnoks, so you could throw them into the mix, as well.

I've always said that I'd love to see Cobra Commander pair up with Zemo, with Destro and MODOK or Zola making weapons for AIM and MARS. Elektra and Jinx team up with Daredevil and Storm Shadow to fight the Hand and the Ninja Vipers. Cap and Duke working together seems like a match made in heaven, not to mention Quick Kick and Shang-Chi or Iron Fist.
And like someone else said, Taskmaster would be a badass Cobra, possibly even hiring out Deadpool's mercenary services to Cobra. You could even have Fisk working with Extensive Enterprises in New York. I mean, we've had Joe mixed with Marvel in little Easter Eggs, Joe mixed with Street Fighter, and Marvel mixed with Street Fighter, so I see no issues! |

Spider-Man is aleady established as canon within the Marvel G.I. Joe universe via his appearance in Transformers, which had crossovers with Joe.

this breaks up the marvel universe. you cant have hulk without wolverine farting around wearing a patch and skewering badguys in madripoor.
i think transformers are a bit more outlandish than hulk but they're in gijoe, aliens, and no one bats an eye. if anything i think it broadens the gijoe mythos. let's have cable time slide and do some cool stuff. let's have a very toned down wolverine pants snake eyes. |

Hated. The unrelated ww2 series and stuff was ok but no.
