G.I. Joe/Characters/Film Series

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The character sheet for the Live Action G. I. Joe Film Series.

G.I. Joes

Duke

Baroness: He gave up.
Storm Shadow: He never gives up. Their car gets hit by a train

  • Dual Tonfas
  • The Faceless
  • Katanas Are Just Better: Subverted. He only beats Storm Shadow (both as a child, and in the climax) when he switches to bladed tonfas.
    • This may be a case of Fridge Brilliance, since one of the best strategies in martial arts if your opponent is just as skilled in the same way you're fighting them, you change your tactics. In the flashback, Snake Eyes loses every fight with Storm Shadow when they use the same weapon. He only wins when he changes tactics. Given his Combat Pragmatist roots, it makes sense.
  • Large Ham: A silent version of it.
  • McNinja: Is the world's best ninja despite being American. In a bit of a subversion, the world's second best ninja seems to be Korean.
  • Ninja
  • Number Two: To General Hawk.
  • The Quiet One: To the best of this troper's knowledge, the low sigh he utters at Storm Shadow's apparent death is the most he's ever said in any continuity.
  • The Rival: To Storm Shadow.
  • You Killed My Master: Why he wants to take down Storm Shadow.
