Several of the Joes with code names not containing any mention of rank did promote by one or more paygrades over the years, but would often revert back to their original grades by their 25th anniversary release. Major Altitude was never the rank of major, because he was a warrant officer who had completed the necessary training schools at Fort Rucker. However, Major Storm was a major in the position of commander of the General. He did not promote, and was still a major looking for the saboteurs of the General during the 2003 convention set story theme. As you surmised, most of the names with ranks were only puns that were fun to say. To keep those jokes relevant, the characters often did not promote during the story.

There are probably objectively worse figures, particularly later in the original line, but I hate Cross Country with the fire of a thousand suns. I hate his dumb face and I hate his dumb vehicle. To this day I get angry just thinking about that goddamn figure.

As a kid, I collected Joes from 1982-1987. The two most disappointing figures for me from this time were Flash and Deep Six. Flash's issue was the cable on the laser gun either broke too easily or made it awkward trying to get the figure to hold the gun. Then Deep Six is probably the worst action figure of the GI Joe line up.
Also, I've never been a particular fan of the The Fridge action figure. I loved Sgt. Slaughter because at least there was a military connection there, but Refrigerator Perry just never made sense to me, even as a kid. Jason |

I don't get all the hate for Crystal Ball, always thought he was way cooler than Mindbender but he never got a big comic or cartoon arc.

Lifeline. Why is a pacifist in an elite fighting unit? And dressed bright red too? Shouldn’t he be on a civilian ambulance crew or something?
