There's very little visual reference for Billy in what would be his outfit as a GI-Joe. The best I could find was in the Devil's Due GI-Joe nº 20/21 (I guess) and that's the base for what I came up with, with my own twists and touches (like the blue on his pants, Cobra? )
Orfan, Son, Apprentice, Cobra, Joe, Arashikage? He is Billy Kessler Code Name: Janus |

Tks!
Quoting weekipedia "In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (/ˈdʒeɪnəs/; Latin: Ianus, pronounced [ˈjaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, doorways,[1] passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past." My idea is that Billy has been an orfan, enemy of cobra, mind controlled agent of cobra, ninja apprentice, etc as if his life wasn't entirely his to command. I think of my version as Billy being finally a true GI-Joe member, and now he decides the beginnings and endings of his own life. Also the two faces of Janus, brings up a certain duality... He is a Joe ... or is He? Thanks for asking!! |
