So lately in the IDW Joeverse they changed Ripcord and Firefly's race from White/Asian respectively to black. I know we had the discussion of Ripcord/Breaker's race and Heavy Duty's nationality change in the live action movie. What Joe/Cobra characters would you like to see a race/nationality change. Personally I would like to see my namesake have a race change from white(I assume hes white or white with 25% black, clearly he has an english first and last name) to Asian (figure/filecard looks Asian looking, IMO).

I would like for Lady Jay to be black, Roadblock to be Asian, Duke to be Iraqi, Cobra Commander to be Guatemalan, Gung Ho to be from India, Destro to be German, Big Lob to be white, Snake Eyes to be a polar bear, and Zartan to be straight.

Hmm, If they make the movie firefly black, Marcus Chong should play him. I dug Marlon Wayans as Ripcord, so i would be up for seeing a black Firefly, as long as the actor can portray the cold menace and mercenary sensibilities of the character. I could also see Michael Jai White playing Firefly provided he wasn't so swoll!

these over the top unneccesary uncalled for and un warranted changes just show how pure and utterly that hasbro does NOT CARE about the franchise and is just trying to appease the PCism this new world has mandated there be. Instead of makign a new character...yet another character has fallen vicitim to the changes that arent neccesary.

I agree, arbitrary race changes are lame. I agree, kill the character but don't use the same file name.

Who cares as long as the end product is good.
ROC wasn't going to be instantly better if Ripcord and Breaker were white. Plus, it isn't easy being green. |

Whats wrong with the joes that are already black? Is hasbro trying to say that every good black person should come from white origins? Ok maybe thats extreme but Stalker is one kick ass joe and imagine if they made him white?

I think the real reason we didn"t see Stalker is the negative conotation with the word stalker. I read somewhere that they were going to make Captain America black in The Ultimates at one point. PC needs to go away.
