A fighter jet that transformed into a giant robot and killed his friend Tyler "Frosting" Frost. But no one. Not even his commanding officer Clayton "Hawk" Abernathy will give him the answers he needs.Now six months later, Duke goes on his own independent search for answers. Only to find himself drawn into a war. A war that only a Real American Hero has a chance to survive... | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Duke (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: One of the books Duke is shown to be reading to gain some answers over what happened to him is called "Mindbender", after the infamous Cobra Mad Scientist. Dr. Adele Burkhart was a character rescued from COBRA by the Joes in issue #1 of Marvel's G.I. Joe debut comic series. She appears and then is killed here in issue #1. Dr. Burkhart had a schematic of the M.A.S.S. Device, the Cobra superweapon in the pilot miniseries of the first G.I. Joe animated series. The weapons shown developed at M.A.R.S. include H.I.S.S. tanks, F.A.N.G.s, B.A.T.s, S.N.A.K.E.s, and a C.L.A.W. The squad of police officers who attacked Duke wear armors and helmets similar to the Iron Grenadiers. In order to join what will become G.I. Joe Duke's death is faked for him. This mirrors the original G.I. Joe IDW comics where faking ones death was a mandatory part of joining the team. | |

Frame-Up: After Duke finds the hidden weapons factory, the shadowy organization that owns it has the scientist he was working with and a number of innocent people killed and frames him for the murders because killing him themselves would draw too much attention. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Clutch's characterization in the series evokes this. While he's shown to have a degree from MIT, he seems content to live the simple life as a mechanic at a junkyard. | |

Enemy Mine: Duke and the Baroness have to work together to escape an underground prison they're both dumped in, and a M.A.R.S. kill squad led by Major Bludd. Once out they part ways, so their partnership is nothing close to how it was in the first live-action film, though it might bring that to mind. | |

Time Skip: After the opening prologue which clearly has taken place soon after Transformers (2023), issue #2 the story skips ahead by six months. Making this the farthest entry in the Energon Universe timeline so far. | |

He Knows Too Much: Said almost word-for-word by Mercer after Duke discovers that M.A.R.S. Industries has a secret factory that's making weapons. This led to Duke's aforementioned Frame-Up and as well Dr. Burkhart's death and her research on what M.A.R.S. were building stolen. | |
