It would be like nominating Destro as a "Mystery Character" from the TV commercial (when he was in shadows) and calling him a different character than Destro, who was revealed to be Destro in issue #11. Or nominating the characters on the cardbacks in the shadows or explosions as different (imagined) characters than who they turned out to be.

Destro had a different voice in the early commercials, so must've been a different character.

Just to chime in on the shooter debate.
This is the comparison I'd make: My first two GI Joe's when I was a kid were Grunt and Snake Eyes. At that time, knowing nothing about either character, I presumed that the Snake Eyes figure was a member of Cobra. After all he's dressed all in black and his name is SNAKE Eyes--that was all the information I personally had at the moment, thus in my imagination that was enough for me to imagine this mystery character must be a villain and thus for a few months that's how I played with him. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only kid who upon looking at Snake Eyes for the first time imagined him this way. But that "evil" version of Snake Eyes was unofficial, and just something certain kids imagined based on partial information. It's kind of the same thing with Shooter. We as kids didn't know anything about this "character" outside of being an Easter egg in a single panel, and that the characters code name was a tribute to Jim. Based on that little information we filled in our own blanks and created our own version of that character but the versions we were imagining were all unofficial, and only existed in the canons of our individual imaginations. Officially Shooter has only existed in one continuity and in that continuity it was eventually explained that she was female. Unofficially some of us may have collectively imagined her as a male in our own personal Joeverse (and reasonably so), but at the end of the day our identification of Shooter being a male character was our personal attachment to the character based on presumptions we made, just like my identification of Snake Eyes being an evil character was my personal attachment based on presumptions I made. Neither male Shooter nor evil Snake Eyes ever really existed outside of our personal versions of Joe. Officially Shooter is a female and Snake Eyes is a good guy.

Also, Roadblock and Stalker were colored as caucasian a few times in the cartoon by mistake, so, different characters.
In the movie The Crying Game the guy thought he was dating a woman for a while but she turned out to be a he. There's two more different characters for you. |

Shooter should've remained an in-joke.

I think these are all the remaining non-trooper figures who appeared in the DIC series who haven't won the poll yet. All of them have at least one nom.

Seriously man, since you have voted in all of the other polls you should realize that this is just normal banter within these polls. Did you forget BullhornGate?

Rather if I end up agreeing with them or not I enjoy hearing various points of view (yours included-- so if you have a perspective on a character by all means try to make your case).
