Thanks, glad you appreciate the stuff I've been putting out.
Here's one more Joe I've never heard of (not listed in YoJoe.com or the GI Joe wikia) but is mentioned in [GI Joe vs. Cobra: The Essential Guide written by Pablo Hidalgo: - Scanner (file name: Scott Sturgis; specialty: Information Technology) Any ideas where he appears? He's from the Devil's Due run. His introduction is here: http://www.yojoe.com/comics/image/dd26.shtml Basically he's an internet nerd who happens to live in the desert near where the new Pitt is located, and stumbles across it. The joes have a couple guys dress up as vipers to scare the living daylights out of him, then send Wide Scope and a couple others to 'rescue' him, and then hire him as a new IT guy. let me see if I can find a picture. EDIT: sorry, no image, basically he's a bald guy in civilian clothes.

Actually, I don't think the Joes hired him. Duke hired him and when the Gen. Rey "takeover" happens and Duke goes "rogue" we find out that Scanner has been hiding in the arctic at a secret installation Duke had set up. He then gets killed by the DDP Overlord character, who was part of Duke's Spec Ops unit between when Marvel's run ended and DDP's run began (the same unit that had Kamakura on it).

2 Super-Troopers were mentioned in a G.I. Joe European Missions issue:
G.I. Joe Comic Book Archive Two guys (Capt. Joe DeNiro & Cap. Glenn Goddard) are competing to be in the Super-Trooper program. Goddard sacrificed himself to save DeNiro. Thanks for clearing that up. Do you have any other details? Do you know what issue that took place in? Did the UK's Action Force have a DeNiro figure? I believe they did have a "Super Trooper" but that may have been Lattimer. Wasn't Rapid Fire a graduate of the same course? If there are at least 3 graduates of the "Super Trooper" course, wouldn't that make it almost necessary to give Lattimer a new code name?

Just going through the filecards and noticed that Chuckles and Hot Seat also share a last name ("Provost"). I wonder if the intention was for them to be related.

You know, Hasbro missed a great chance to really expand on the international theme of the new RoC roster.
If the filecards had been as detailed as the old ones, could have really gotten into the different nationalities and their military services and such. Would have been great. Hopefully they'll release some kind of "Data Desk" type book that fills all that in. Maybe a page or two of background on each character... |

I've seen Bench Press. He does look pretty cool but I don't think I've seen the new Snow Serpent. Link?

Yeah, a solid multi-page bio for each character would be much desired.
