G.I. Joe/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Michael Bell]]

* [[The Hero]]

** He actually ''does'' die on-screen in the movie. They just added lines about him being in a coma and one at the end that he recovered.

* [[Sergeant Rock]]

** [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: To differentiate Duke and Hawk, Duke became more of a "tough guy" while Hawk is more of the "veteran" leader. It's still very minor and only noticeable when they are placed together in the same scene.

 

The G.I. Joe team's intelligence expert. Real name: Shana M. O'Hara

 

** Was in danger of becoming a [[Faux Action Girl]] during the DDP-era. After she successfully freed herself from Destro's clutches in America's Elite #7, she either remained at base, was easily knocked unconscious or kept secure thanks to the [[Standard Female Grab Area]] for 19 issues! Luckily she made a triumphant comeback in America's Elite #26 in which she kicked some serious ninja-ass for good and restored her status.

* [[The Archer]]

** [[Love Triangle]]: She's got feelings for ''both'' in ''Resolute''.

* [[Scarlet Fever]]

* [[The Squadette]]

 

* [[Cain and Abel]]: He's Abel to Storm Shadow's Cain.

* [[Canine Companion]]: Timber (a wolf), who in the cartoon helps Snake-Eyes in the battlefield, while in comics guards Snake-Eyes' cabin in the High Sierras.

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: In the same car accident as his father and mother.

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Oh, Scarlett you love this trope, don't you?

 

* [[Nice Hat]]: His beret.

 

=== '''G.I. Joe''' ===

* [[Master of Disguise]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: The cartoon took nearly every effort possible to have her either flirt with her sexy voice or take off some clothing. One episode featured her actively competing with The Baroness for a man's affections (for a mission) while wearing a dress with plunging cleavage, she dressed down to a slip once, and she wore a bare-legged SCUBA outfit in another episode (while all the men wore full-leg suits). She was also one in the comics, where her shirt curiously seemed unable to be buttoned up and she was better endowed than the earlier Joe females, Scarlett and Cover Girl. This was toned down when she became more of a desk-driving intelligence officer.
