G.I. Joename originAs far back as World War II, "G.I. Joe" (for Government Issue Joe) was slang for an American rank-and-file soldier. There was even a movie titled The Story of G.I. Joe that came out in 1945. The name was popularized by cartoonist Bill Mauldin and journalist Ernie Pyle, who eventually had his own G.I. Joe 12-inch figure. is a franchise created by American toymaker Hasbro in 1964 to promote their line of military toys. Notably, the original toys were the very first to be called "action figures" (to appeal to boys who didn't want to play with "dolls", although the line was conceived as a Spear Counterpart to Barbie). In this first incarnation, G.I. Joe was the name of the main character, and the figures were based on each branch of the United States military. However, the increasing opposition to The Vietnam War caused the brand's popularity to decline, so in the late 1960s the franchise reinvented itself as the "Adventure Team", trading warfare for exploration in exotic locations. While the drastic change allowed G.I. Joe to survive Vietnam, the line was eventually ended in 1976. The following year, Hasbro tried to keep the franchise going with the successor Super Joe, a line of 8-inch figures with a Science Fiction theme, but this Continuity Reboot lasted only two years.The second incarnation of the franchise began in 1982, four years after Hasbro's rival Kenner launched their popular Star Wars toyline. Unlike G.I. Joe, which had 12-inch action figures, Star Wars figures were 3¾ inches tall, allowing them to also sell playsets and vehicles at low prices and thus make even more money. Seeing the massive profit Kenner was making, Hasbro decided to relaunch G.I. Joe in the new scale and hired Marvel Comics to create a story, characters, and media tie-ins for the line. Marvel eventually came up with a premise that is still the core of the franchise today - G.I. Joe was no longer one person,note except in some continuities, where the team is named in honor of General Joe Colton, the man responsible for its creation, but the name of an elite American military unit engaged in a battle against the terrorist organization Cobra and its plans to Take Over the World. To promote the line (now dubbed G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero), Marvel launched two tie-ins:

Villainous Lineage: Serpentor is a designer baby who grows up real fast with DNA from conquerors, murderers, and madmen. And in GI Joe vs. the Transformers volume 3, he's also got Megatron's programming as well as Decepticon technology from Area 52 as well to back his claim of being "the son of Megatron."

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Cobra combat trainer Big Boa was originally part of a plan for a Rocky tie-in; This fell through, but much later in the comics his history was revealed to be eerily similar to Rocky's, except, like, evil. The DIC version had Jackie Love, who was a take on Bob Hope. G.I. Joe vs. The Transformers: Black Horizon based Joe Colton on Chuck Norris.

Darker and Edgier: GI Joe Extreme and G.I. Joe: Resolute. A notable aspect of them, plus the live-action Rise of Cobra and more recent comic books is the fact the "YO JOE!" kid-friendly action team of the original comics and animated series have been replaced by a group of soldiers that actually shoot straight and kill people (see, for example, how Scarlett dispatches various Vipers in Rise of Cobra by shooting them in the head with her crossbow, and another one is impaled on a forklift). Although the prevalence of heavy weapons, and giving Scarlett weapons such as a crossbow from the beginning constitutes a "no-duh" that the Joes would be expected to leave a body count on most missions, the use of A-Team Firing and other family-friendly storytelling elements in the original tended to gloss over or outright ignore this fact. Which is one reason by Resolute in particular was controversial when it showed scenes of the Joes shooting Vipers dead in full view. Back in the 80s, the original comics, especially after issue 12 or so, must have seemed this way to people coming to them from the cartoons (though the comics actually came first).

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In The '70s, Miller had just launched a memorable campaign for their light beer focusing on drinkers arguing whether it "tasted great" or was "less filling". One scene of the kid-friendly cartoon had the biker punk Dreadnoks violently disagreeing about... whether something was a "breath mint" or a "candy mint". Which was based on an old Certs ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5AeYLQrkpo Warren Ellis, writer of G.I. Joe: Resolute, states that he was completely unfamiliar with the G.I. Joe franchise when he wrote the script. That might be, but it definitely at least appears as though he's played Command & Conquer. Cobra Commander acts a bit like Kane and even ends up taking a Ion Beam to the face, leading to Never Found the Body. Kane was a little calmer, though.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: In G.I. Joe: Resolute, Cobra Commander, vaporizing Moscow just to prove a point, addresses a cadre of Cobra goons. He states that his General Failure tendencies were all Obfuscating Stupidity, designed to make his subordinates think and weed out traitors. Now that it no longer suits him, he's no longer going to tolerate disobedience or failure.

Brainwashed and Crazy - Most characters underwent this trope at some point in the cartoon but special mention must go to Flint who suffered this at least three times in the series. The Marvel series ended with at least three major characters in this state as well.

No-Dialogue Episode: The famous "Silent Interlude" issue of the Marvel comic. When Devil's Due had the GI Joe comics, they also made their Issue 21 a no-dialogue story. Subverted, however, when IDW published their 21st issue. Although issue 19 of the IDW GI Joe Origins was a silent issue written by Larry Hamma, where Snake Eyes infiltrates an airbase. As another plus, it has Timber! "Hush Job" in G.I. Joe Yearbook #3, which is a follow-up to "Silent Interlude".

comment
Originally, Hasbro wanted Duke to be killed in The Movie from the mortal wound from Serpentor's snake-spear. However, the scheduling between this movie and Transformers (where Optimus Prime suffered the same fatenote The other franchise in Hasbro's 1986-87 movie blitz, My Little Pony, didn't, obviously, lend itself to bloodshed of that type.) ended up being released first. When Hasbro saw the intense backlash from kids and parents over Prime's death, Hasbro went into an immediate about face and demanded that Duke not die. Since the film had already been completed, the best that the production staff could do was to call in the voice cast to make an emergency voiceover, recasting the celebration over having defeated Cobra's plot into a celebration that Duke had pulled out of his coma. This afforded Buzz Dixon a Funny Moment 25 years later, as, in the commentary track for the Blu-Ray release, he mercilessly deadpan quoted from the dead parrot sketch to explain what was intended to happen.

Androcles' Lion: The origin of Snake-Eyes' wolf Timber in the cartoon; Snake-Eyes stopped to free the wolf from a bear trap, while lethally irradiated. A similar origin is given for Timber in the IDW Origins comic, where Snake-Eyes frees Timber from barbed wire whilst infiltrating an airbase, setting off an alarm in the process. And again in Renegades, where the caught in a trap trope is played again, with Timber immediately sensing kinship with Snake Eyes and helps him throughout the episode afterwards.

Worse, some popular characters being exclusive to certain stores is unfortunate but understandable. However, the COBRA Vipers (the other famous Faceless Goons of the franchise) being exclusive to the department store Target is much less understandable. Add to that an already poor distribution, and you have ripe scalper fodder.

Nobody Can Die
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_2bb951b8
comment
Nobody Can Die: While the comics averted this, the animated series mostly played this straight. The closest the series ever came to killing off a bunch of Joes was in the "Worlds Without End" two-parter, where alternate universe versions of Steeler, Clutch, and Grunt died during a failed battle against Cobra (we see their skeleton remains in a mass grave), so their counterparts from the regular universe decided to remain there and help out that world's Baroness, who is secretly a Joe sympathizer and the lover of that universe's Steeler. The writers subtly killed off the three Joes without actually having them die on-screen, as they never appeared again for the rest of the Sunbow run. Originally, Hasbro wanted Duke to be killed in The Movie from the mortal wound from Serpentor's snake-spear. However, the scheduling between this movie and Transformers (where Optimus Prime suffered the same fatenote The other franchise in Hasbro's 1986-87 movie blitz, My Little Pony, didn't, obviously, lend itself to bloodshed of that type.) ended up being released first.

Since the film had already been completed, the best that the production staff could do was to call in the voice cast to make an emergency voiceover, recasting the celebration over having defeated Cobra's plot into a celebration that Duke had pulled out of his coma. This afforded Buzz Dixon a Funny Moment 25 years later, as, in the commentary track for the Blu-Ray release, he mercilessly deadpan quoted from the dead parrot sketch to explain what was intended to happen. The only character to undoubtedly die in the cartoon was the drug lord Headman, who overdosed on the drugs he was selling at the end of the "Greatest Evil" two-parter written to cash-in on the "War on Drug" hysteria.

Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: Just how does Cobra afford to field and equip enough soldiers to put up a fight against the US military? Especially when so many of their plans are thwarted? Different continuities have different explanations: In the Marvel comics, they actually had ties to legitimate businesses, including dealing arms they themselves invent. The Sunbow cartoon is pretty vague about it. One episode has them trying to raise funds with a pirate broadcast telethon (the prize for meeting the donation goal was the live execution of some Joes). The same episode suggests that they run a special academy to train criminals. At various points it's hinted that their financial interests are hidden behind a dummy company called Extensive Enterprises. In the IDW comics they created a cult called the Coil and used it to fleece wealthy converts. The Renegades version of Cobra never had this problem, because they were publicly known only as a completely legitimate corporation.

Cast as a Mask
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_2c3a7a97
comment
Cast as a Mask: Whenever Zartan had to put on a disguise, he was then voiced by who previously played the person he was disguised as until he was revealed. Michael Bell played him and the French Scientist he impersonated in "Countdown for Zartan," while Neil Ross played both Shipwreck and Zartan-as-Shipwreck for "Once Upon A Joe". The same goes for Baroness, who sometimes would even disguise herself as a male. In "Twenty Questions" she's revealed to have been in disguise as a cameraman for most of the episode... a cameraman who until The Reveal previously had a male voice actor.

Expansion Pack Past: The Marvel comics series revealed one by one that Snake-Eyes' pre-Joe days held significant connections to Storm Shadow, Baroness, Destro, Cobra Commander, Zartan and Firefly. In other words, almost every major villain in the series had Snake-Eyes looming somewhere in their backstory.

It Will Never Catch On: Larry Hama said he only became writer of the comic because Jim Shooter was turned down by Marvel's other writers, who felt a toy comic was beneath them and would damage their careers. Hama was apparently not too keen on it initially, either - saying he only accepted the job because he had no other writing offers. Well, as noted above, the comic lasted twelve years.

Even Evil Has Standards: In the original MASS Device pilot miniseries, Snake Eyes is thought to be fatally irradiated. Major Bludd keeps the Cobra troopers from firing on him for this, and has a brief twinge of sympathy as he said he wouldn't wish what happened to Snake Eyes on his worst enemy, adding "Poor blighter." Both the comics and cartoon had Cobra Commander working with the Joes to stop the drug dealer Headman- the comics play this straight, as Cobra Commander is highly disgusted by a drug dealer peddling the stuff and goes undercover(without his mask) to bring him down. The cartoon averts this, as Cobra Commander only wanted access to Headman's wealth.

Compilation Movie
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_33cadb12
comment
The first season of G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 established the series as a sequel to the CGI G.I. Joe specials (Spy Troops and Valor vs. Venom) produced by Reel FX. The biggest evidence of this is the fact that General Hawk is still in the hospital recovering from the "Venomization" process he suffered during the events of Valor vs. Venom. However, a later Compilation Movie of the first five episodes (called "First Strike") added a scene that established that the Joe team from Sigma 6 were not the same Joes from the CGI specials, but new members who inherited the codenames of their predecessors 20 years after the original members retired. Somehow, most of the Cobras also got identical successors as well and they managed to get a new Storm Shadow who just happens to be the rival of the new Snake-Eyes.

Official Couple: While the subject does have a tendency to be subjected to the Depending on the Writer trope, Destro / Baroness is one of the more consistent as in the original series where Destro wasn't exactly subtle, especially for a kids' cartoon, on how he was so wanting to nail the Baroness (lucky for him it was pretty mutual). However there is the potential triangle between Duke, Scarlett and Snake Eyes where which side Scarlett is going with depends on which story we are talking about here (and who's writing it). Flint and Lady Jaye are official in the comics, and at least hinted at in the cartoons. Assuming the expanded canon also holds, Marissa Fairborne, a major character in Transformers season 3, is their daughter.

Bittersweet Ending: Not every episode had a happy conclusion. "Computer Complications" was essentially a tie between G.I.Joe and Cobra; "Sink the Montana", despite concluding with the Joes foiling Cobra's plot, still had a somewhat depressing ending. Same goes for the comic, which especially under Marvel had the Joes frequently running up against the complexity of international politics and conflicting interests within the U.S. government.

Like Long Runner franchises with many characters this was bound to happen and in certain cases it did, some more than others of course. For example after the original animated series for the Dreadnoks unless your name is Zartan feel lucky if you get ANY screentime at all. This was fallout from the Merchandise-Driven nature of the franchise: Hasbro wanted the newest figures and vehicles showcased, and the writers had to fight to keep a few of the older faces around for some consistency.

Body Horror: "Glamour Girls" had Low-Light stop the "Transferance Machine" from stealing the youth and beauty of his younger sister, Una by destroying the linkage to her. The backwash, though, caused the machine to leave Madam Vale, the intended recipient of the stolen beauty, without a face. The reactions of Lady Jaye (horror) and Low-Light (hiding Una from the sight) show how bad it was—and only that we hear Madame Vail bemoaning her loss prevents it from being And I Must Scream.

Predatory Business: In the 80's show, the Red Rocket franchise pops up all over in one episode, even planing to buy out Roadblock's family restaurant (the owners won't sell, of course). Then it turns out that Cobra is involved, and the rockets adorning the buildings are carrying their latest WMDs, the warhead shaped Photon Disintegrators. The Joes stop the plot, and Roadblock's family restaurant becomes "The Joes' Place".

Reassigned to Antarctica
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_5798bfbf
comment
Reassigned to Antarctica An assignment to Toxo-Viper duty in Cobra is a punishment for poor performance. Since Toxo-Vipers work with hazardous materials and the suits aren't airtight as a cost-saving measure, anyone who receives the punishment is unlikely to slack off or screw up again. Also, dropouts from the normal Viper program are sent to the desert as Desert Scorpions. Desert Scorpions who mess up are naturally put on Toxo-Viper duty. In Marvel's G.I. Joe comics, washouts from the Joe training program would be transferred to Thule, Greenland or Fez, Morocco. Whether this was to stop them talking about details of the training or to dissuade those who were unsuitable from applying in the first place isn't clear. Although given just how epically it sucks to be assigned to Thule, it was likely the latter. An episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades opens with two hapless Cobra guards standing in front of a remote bunker in the middle of a frozen wasteland. A brief conversation between the two reveals that they both ended up there by failing to prevent the Joes from getting into secure areas. Naturally, the Joes show up again. One wonders where they'll get sent next time...

Career Not Taken: Roadblock's first choice of work was culinary in nature, as he wanted to be a chef. However, he was convinced to join the army when a recruiter pointed out that he could train to be one while serving. He's considered quite the cook, with even COBRA grunts being aware of his skill in the kitchen, but he sticks with the Joes because he feels a sense of responsibility for his fellow Joes. And to make sure they actually get good stuff to eat. Gridiron was a fairly successful American football player, but he joined the Joes out of a sense of patriotism and loyalty. He'd like to go back to the sport, but he feels he does more good as part of the Joes.

Action Figure Justification
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_5ae16e13
comment
Action Figure Justification: G.I. Joe is actually the originator of the term "action figure". In 1946, Hasbro created a line of soldier toys with articulation and accessories such as weapons, naming the line "G.I. Joe" after a popular nickname for US troops in World War II. Recognising that the term "doll" implied they were playthings for girls, Hasbro coined the term "action figure" to differentiate.

The Smurfette Principle
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_5d753b19
comment
The Smurfette Principle: While there have always been a lot more male characters than female in the G.I Joe series, the original series did make an effort in trying to avert this, as Lady Jaye and Scarlett (and to a lesser extent Cover Girl) for the G.I Joe team did appear often, and had good screentime. (While not as successful as G.I Joe, Cobra did make some effort in averting this with Zarana and Baroness.) However, the other G.I Joe cartoons that came afterward pretty much played this straight, though, as unless your names are Scarlett or Baroness you will either be Demoted to Extra or be on the receiving end of Chuck Cunningham Syndrome. (With G.I. Joe: Resolute being the only arguable—and I repeat, arguable—exception.)In the comics this was better avoided. Both sides had their token female from the start, Scarlett for the Joes and Baroness for Cobra and neither one was the conventional "girl". Cover Girl was introduced to the Joes in issue #16, Lady Jaye in issue #32 and Jinx in issue #59. Conversely, Cobra got their second female, Zarana in issue #51. Both the Joes and Cobra have had a few other female characters introduced later, but with only very minor appearances. Averted by necessity (almost hilariously so) in one episode of the TV series where the Baroness got a hold of a magic conch horn that incapacitated all men who heard it. Suddenly, both Joe and Cobra had a 1:1 male/female ratio.

The same goes for Baroness, who sometimes would even disguise herself as a male. In "Twenty Questions" she's revealed to have been in disguise as a cameraman for most of the episode... a cameraman who until The Reveal previously had a male voice actor.

Supreme Chef: Roadblock in all versions, as he is also a gourmet who knows good food when he sees it and probably can cook it even better. He even develops the "Marvin Hinton Grill" and when overeager Drednoks try to destroy the studio, Roadblock fights them on stage, which increases his popularity (and grill sales).

Jumping on a Grenade: In issue 28 of the Marvel Comics series, Tripwire attempts to save the lives of other Joes by throwing himself on top of a makeshift bomb. Roadblock safely disposes of the bomb and lectures Tripwire on unneeded heroism. Similarly, Flint does this (or tries to) when faced with a nerve agent in the episode "The Spy Who Rooked Me."

The original Marvel comic run covered it in issue 27 in that during a mission to the Middle East, an attack in a helicopter badly scarred Snake Eyes while he tried to rescue his love Scarlett. In a later issue, the mission is gone over in more detail with Doc even stating that Snake Eyes could lose his voice permanently if not treated ASAP, but Snake Eyes in a Moment of Awesome writes out in the desert sand that the team must continue the mission. Theres a reason this guy is popular.

Toyless Toyline Character
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_705d9b89
comment
Toyless Toyline Character: The comics had quite a few such as Kwinn the Eskimo, Bongo the Bear, Dr. Venom (Dr. Mindbender's predecessor), General Flagg (the original, not his son), Mangler, Scarface, and Cool Breeze just to name some. The animated series mostly averted this with two exceptions: Sparks, a communication officer who appeared only in the second mini-series and two later episodes, and Big Lob, a basketball player from G.I. Joe: The Movie. Most of them later got made into figures as part of comic-based sets or as fan club exclusives. Pythona from The Movie never got made into a figure, even though Golobulus and Nemesis Enforcer were released as part of a Cobra-La Team pack along with a Cobra-La Royal Guard. The collector club later made toys of them, albeit 20+ years after the film came out.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Gunfire from the Joes' weapons was red, and gunfire from Cobra's weapons was blue. (Although in the first miniseries, both sides' shots were simple white streaks.)

Embarrassing Cover Up: In the IDW comic, Kwinn and Lighthorse are smuggling Snake-Eyes across a border in a coffin inside a hearse. Lighthorse looks nervous and the border guards ask him what is wrong. Lighthorse responds with the phrase that Kwinn taught him the local language. This translates as "I'm a little girl. I'm afraid of ghosts". The border guards laugh and let them through. Lighthorse, who has no idea what he has just said, wonders what they found so funny.

Put on a Bus: Clutch, Grunt and Steeler ended up staying behind in a parallel universe run by Cobra (in the cartoon). The three were part of the much plainer 1982 lineup, and thus were being written out in favour of the "cooler" new characters. At least they got a send-off in a two-parter episode and not just ignored (poor Zap).

The Faceless: Cobra Commander, usually. He was actually shown unmasked in the comics a few times and was definitely human, unlike his appearance in GI Joe: The Movie— and then you wish it hadn't been. Snake Eyes' face is also rarely shown, and never in the cartoon, but is a standard handsome if scarred face in the comics. At least it is once he gets it fixed by a top plastic surgeon. In the issue before the operation we finally get to see him, and find he had good reason to wear those rubber masks. Sigma Six shows him to be a blue-eyed blond (as he was in the Marvel comics), but the lower portion of his face was never revealed. Madam Vale, at the end of the episode Glamor Girls.

Later-Installment Weirdness: As the 1980s toy line went into the 90s, many very weird concepts started popping up in an attempt to keep kids interested, such as mutants, robot battle suits, cyborgs, space combat and alien visitors. At least in regards to the toy line and comic book... the cartoon has already dealt with ghosts, animated clay soldier statues, inter-dimensional travel, time travel, the Egyptian gods, Greek mythology and... you get the idea.

Cultural Translation: In the UK, the good guys were called Action Force, the theme tune called them International Heroes instead of Real American Heroes, and some of the Action Figure File Cards were rewritten to give certain team members non-American birthplaces. Over time this slowly changed to "GI Joe, The Action Force" (it was as awkward as it sounds) before eventually just using the GI Joe name.This dates back from the 60's, when Palitoy licensed the original G.I. Joe figure as Action Man. Two decades later, Action Force was launched as an independent extension of the Action Man line. This changed with Hasbro's acquisition of the Palitoy assets, after which the Joes were introduced with European birthplaces.

Merchandising the Monster: In the IDW Publishing comics, where a character wears a t-shirt emblazoned with the Decepticon emblem. At first, this was merely a Shout-Out to the most famous of Hasbro's properties. However, a Retcon later placed the events of the G.I.Joe comic in the aftermath of Transformers: All Hail Megatron (where the Decepticons launched an invasion that, among other things, resulted in the death of the US President of the time and the massacre of the entire population of Beijing).

BFG: Since some Joes are heavy weapons specialists, this trope is pretty much mandatory. Still, the most noteworthy example is Roadblock, who uses a belt fed 50cal M2 Browning as his portable, standard firearm. At one point in the comics, two average sized Joes (Rock & Roll, himself a machine gun specialist, and somebody who escapes recollection for the moment) unload the machinegun from a car that is already buckling from it's weight. They state that the two of them can barely lift it off the ground and ask how Roadblock can possibly wield it in battle. Roadblock takes it in one hand and calmly responds "good diet and high pain tolerance".

The closest the series ever came to killing off a bunch of Joes was in the "Worlds Without End" two-parter, where alternate universe versions of Steeler, Clutch, and Grunt died during a failed battle against Cobra (we see their skeleton remains in a mass grave), so their counterparts from the regular universe decided to remain there and help out that world's Baroness, who is secretly a Joe sympathizer and the lover of that universe's Steeler. The writers subtly killed off the three Joes without actually having them die on-screen, as they never appeared again for the rest of the Sunbow run.

Confronting Your Imposter: In one issue of the Marvel Comics series, Zartan infiltrates the Pit, and moves about shifting his appearance from one Joe to another as he goes. However, he shifts into looking like Gung Ho just as the real Gung Ho enters the room; alerting the Joes to the fact that one of them is an imposter.

The Voiceless
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_8ec0abf
comment
The Voiceless: Snake-Eyes, when we are not given a reason for his silence. The original Marvel comic run covered it in issue 27 in that during a mission to the Middle East, an attack in a helicopter badly scarred Snake Eyes while he tried to rescue his love Scarlett. In a later issue, the mission is gone over in more detail with Doc even stating that Snake Eyes could lose his voice permanently if not treated ASAP, but Snake Eyes in a Moment of Awesome writes out in the desert sand that the team must continue the mission. Theres a reason this guy is popular. Resolute has it as a result of getting shot through the throat with the same bullet that killed his master Devil's Due's crossover with the Transformers had him losing it (and getting his face badly burned to boot) after getting a tank shot out from under him by Starscream. (Before that, Snake Eyes got in one "Snort!" before Hawk tells him "I'm the only one who didn't bet you couldn't keep your mouth shut this entire trip, so don't make a liar out of me!" Snake gives him an A-OK sign.) The 2009 movie on the other hand has it that Snake Eyes keeps a vow of silence...and the reason is to mourn the Hard Master's death. Yeah.

Cobra Commander in the comic books tends to be an extremely competent and ruthless military leader that has the general loyalty of his follower. He's still evil and prone to ambition but is a genuinely terrifying Evil Genius. In the cartoon, he is a bumbling fool and Dirty Coward. Some adaptations split the difference by making him extremely competent but willing to throw everyone else under the bus to save himself. His backstory also changes from line to line.

A-Team Firing
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_964ea66c
comment
A-Team Firing: Only in the original animated series. But while they were forbidden to kill anyone off, head writer Chuck Dixon tried to show people getting wounded often enough to get across the fact that war is dangerous, kids. Mostly averted in the comics, which had many of the main character often suffering from gunshot wounds and some were actually killed. In fact, the times in the comic that this seems to occur - such as when the future Storm Shadow rescues Snake-Eyes during Stalker's flashback to 'Nam (issue 26) - are so rare and unusual that they're major, heavily commented-on events, in this case establishing Storm Shadow's almost superhuman speed and anticipation. Made a shocking return in G.I. Joe: Resolute where Duke and Scarlett stand smack in the middle of a crossfire against twenty Cobras and don't get hit once. This was likely in reference to the original series.

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Storm Shadow vs. Snake Eyes. In the cartoon, inexplicably, it was Storm Shadow vs. Spirit, whose street brawling managed to hold its own against a ninja master. Presumably there'd be less opportunity for witty fight banter with Snakes. Only in the Revenge of Cobra mini-series. Most other times in the TV show, Storm Shadow's foil is more often Quick Kick.

Took a Level in Badass: Cobra Commander has become this in G.I. Joe: Sigma 6. But in G.I. Joe: Resolute, Cobra Commander proves how Darker and Edgier he's become by destroying Moscow. And the speech he gives to his troops in episode four is downright awesome. And then he takes five levels in Complete Boob in the climax. At the beginning of "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero", which picks up where the movie left off, Cobra Commander is still a snake, but is restored to human(oid) form by the Baroness and Gnawgahyde. He wrests control of Cobra back from Serpentor, gets revenge by turning Serpentor into an iguana, and then when he goes after the Joes they actually have a hard time defeating him!

Future Copter: The G.I. Joe Skyhawk is basically a one-person helicopter cockpit with rotating turbines and landing skids strapped to it. The Cobra Flight Pod serves a comparable role, supplanting the earlier, more traditional (if compact) F.A.N.G. helicopter. Later aircraft include the Joes' Skystorm (an X-wing chopper/jet fighter) and Iron Grenadiers A.G.P. (a flight pod similar in principle to the earlier Skyhawk, using rotating turbines for VTOL and flight), while some vehicles classified as "hovercraft" (such as the H.A.V.O.C.'s recon sled or Battleforce 2000's Vindicator) use open ducted-fan turbines to generate lift.

It's Personal: A few times Cobra members have aided the Joes: The Baroness helped the Commander's attempt to replace Cobra troops with the "Phantom Brigade". "Worlds Without End" showed an alternate-universe Baroness as one of La Résistance. Zartan aided the Joes when Zarana was nearly turned into one of Madame Vale's potential targets. Destro didn't appreciate the Commander trying to make a Synthoid of him, and helped the Joes stop his conspiracy. Xamot needed the Joes to rescue Tomax when the Baroness gained the power in "Spell of the Siren" to control the males of both GI Joe AND Cobra. "The Greatest Evil" had one Cobra fighter have his sister addicted to the Headman's drugs around the same time Falcon become an addict as well—and both he and Duke find an Enemy Mine situation.

The newer collected editions of Devil's Due run are published under the G.I. Joe: Disavowed branding to indicate their non-canon status.

Multiple-Choice Past
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_a426ae28
comment
Multiple-Choice Past: Cobra Commander had a different origin in each series: In the comics, he had been a used car salesman until his brother died in an automobile accident. He went insane as a result, blamed the government and turned towards pyramid scemes for money and to recruit others to his cause, eventually founding Cobra. His unmasked face was shown several times in the comics, the most famous and clearest shot being from issue 61. Both this and Billy's memories show him to be a white male with brown hair, favoring a mustache and wearing glasses. In the cartoon, he was a scientist from Cobra-La sent by his leaders into the world to form Cobra as a means to take over to allow Cobra-La to rule the world. He was originally blue-skinned until turned into a large green snake. The live-action movie shows us that he was Rex Lewis, a private in the US Army, possibly in the Iraq War who was almost killed in a bombing raid carried out by the Air Force. He survived with serious injuries and was taught science by Dr. Mindbender, eventually working for MARS Industries and planning his eventual takeover and founding of Cobra. Oh, and The Baroness is his sister. Then the toys themselves had to complicate matters. A few older toys had partially-unmasked faces under the hood showing him to be a middle-aged white guy with black hair, his mouth covered by a bandanna. Palitoy's Action Force canon further complicated this when their canon had Red Shadows leader Baron Ironblood take on the identity when Palitoy licensed the band for sale in the UK. However this only applied to Palitoy's own canon- it was never mentioned elsewhere and Hasbro later declared Action Force and Red Shadows as separate teams, with Baron Ironblood remaining a unique character.

How Did You Know? I Didn't: In the Marvel comic, Sgt. Slaughter is confronted by two Gung-Hos. He punches one in the face who turns out to be the shapeshifter Zartan. When asked how he knew which one to punch, Slaughter replies, "Lucky guess." Duke manages to do something similar in the new continuation: Zartan shifts into Snake-Eyes and enters the combat zone right next to Duke, who promptly knocks him out. When asked, Duke simply says that he didn't have to know. The real Snake-Eyes would never have been caught flat-footed like that.

Code Name
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_a7defafd
comment
Code Name: The characters will only rarely refer to each other by their real names, and the IDW series goes so far as to have Hawk tell one potential recruit that if she joins, her Code Name will be her name. Invoked hardest with Snake-Eyes, as Larry Hama has never revealed whether or not the character was ever given a name. (The most that has been revealed is that his first name might start with N and his last name with J.) Somewhat subverted by Duke in the original cartoon; he often introduces himself by his rank and last name (First Sgt. Duke Hauser). Of course his code name IS his IRL nickname (his real first name is Conrad). Another two-part episode in the original series has Cobra finding out several of the Joe's secret identities (Scarlett, Barbeque, Shipwreck, and Duke, among others). In an interesting continuity nod (unusual for 80s cartoons known for hitting the Reset Button), episodes afterwards had Cobra using this knowledge (IE against Shipwreck in "There's No Place Like Springfield" and Cobra Commander would often address Duke as Sergeant Hauser).

Allegiance Affirmation: In one episode, a joe succeeds in thwarting Cobra Commander's Evil Plan and wrecking his satellite base. The Cobra officers flee from their defeat, leaving hapless mooks behind. One of these is a woman, who gets rescued by joes from a Collapsing Lair. As the joes fly away from the scene, Command inquires if there are any prisoners taken. The woman tears off her Cobra insignia, and flings it into the sea. "Negative, Command, just one survivor," reports the joe.

Nocturnal Mooks: Cobra's Night Vipers are elite troops that live windowless barracks with no interior lights and are constantly trained in stealth and darkness, almost never seeing the time of day. Their helmets have built in night vision and sound enhancing capabilities, and their suits as a whole are made to make them invisible to radar. However, they do have a weakness of being easily blinded if someone manages to shine a bright light into their face, as a result of living in complete darkness.

Demoted to Extra
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_b8e3f20a
comment
While there have always been a lot more male characters than female in the G.I Joe series, the original series did make an effort in trying to avert this, as Lady Jaye and Scarlett (and to a lesser extent Cover Girl) for the G.I Joe team did appear often, and had good screentime. (While not as successful as G.I Joe, Cobra did make some effort in averting this with Zarana and Baroness.) However, the other G.I Joe cartoons that came afterward pretty much played this straight, though, as unless your names are Scarlett or Baroness you will either be Demoted to Extra or be on the receiving end of Chuck Cunningham Syndrome. (With G.I. Joe: Resolute being the only arguable—and I repeat, arguable—exception.)In the comics this was better avoided. Both sides had their token female from the start, Scarlett for the Joes and Baroness for Cobra and neither one was the conventional "girl". Cover Girl was introduced to the Joes in issue #16, Lady Jaye in issue #32 and Jinx in issue #59. Conversely, Cobra got their second female, Zarana in issue #51. Both the Joes and Cobra have had a few other female characters introduced later, but with only very minor appearances.

Third Party Stops Attack: In issue #15 "Red-Eye To Miami" Snake Eyes, Doctor Venom and Kwinn escape from crazed mercenaries in Sierra Gordo aboard an old but functional Lancaster bomber. During the flight, Dr. Venom tries to drop Snake Eyes out the bomb bay doors, but fails. An angry Kwinn then lifts Dr Venom over his head and is about to throw him to his doom. Snake Eyes puts a hand on Kwinn's elbow, belaying the execution, because Venom is the only one who can land the damaged aircraft safely. Fridge Brilliance because as a mute, Snake Eyes can only communicate through gestures.

Market-Based Title
 G.I. Joe (Franchise) / int_b9c673a6
comment
Market-Based Title: Rather more extensive than usual: At a basic level, the cartoon's tagline ("A Real American Hero") was changed to "The International Hero" outside America. In the UK, the original 12" figures were renamed Action Man, and eventually gained their own, separate Canon. Later, the 3 3/4" figures were sold in the UK and elsewhere as Action Force. This incarnation reimagined Action Force as a European anti-terrorist organisation based in Europe, which sometimes cooperated with GI Joe. The changes later happened in reverse, when the Action Force comic changed from a weekly to monthly publication schedule, and was renamed Action Force Monthly. This was then sold in America as GI Joe: The European Missions. Finally, in the late 80s, a short strip that appeared in a couple of Marvel UK comics had GI Joe and Aciton Force merge into a single entity to more efficiently fight Cobra. Henceforth, it was known in the UK as GI Joe the Action Force. This made Scarlett's situation incredibly confusing (see Continuity Snarl above)

Hostile Hitchhiker: One issue of Special Missions has an operation go seriously bad with Outback being the only one to escape. At one point, he buys a truck from a gypsy and tries to drive to a friendly country. He picks up a hitchhiker because he figures the authorities are looking for just him and a second person in the vehicle might throw them off. The hitchhiker then tries to hijack the truck and rob him. This quickly turns into Mugging the Monster due to Outback being a highly trained soldier who then kills the hitchhiker and crashes the truck.

Shout-Out: The Eiffel Tower falls in much the same way it can be felled in Twisted Metal 2 In the recent "Pursuit of Cobra" toyline, at least four figures have been references to the Predator franchise. Spirit Iron Knife is Billy (and the strongest reference), Recondo is Blaine, one of the Dukes is Dutch, and Shadow Tracker is the Predator. In the two part episode "There's No Place Like Springfield" Shipwreck wakes up with amnesia six years in the future but he's haunted by nightmares of Cobra torturing him for information. His home's address? Number 6, Village Drive. There's also the fact that Shipwreck's voice obviously sounds like Jack Nicholson's US Navy sailor character in The Last Detail. The Cobra Night Raven is a spitting image of the titular plane from Firefox.

Tank Goodness: While GI Joe does have some pretty sick tanks, Bazooka's bio card averts this. Bazooka used to be a tank driver before he came to the realization that an illiterate farmer with a $200 rocket launcher his mom bought him over the internet could take out a tank by himself.

Shady Scalper: A common complaint of the 2020 onwards G.I.Joe Classified series of action figures is the fact that the toys are so hard to find people generally can't even buy them... unless you're willing to go online and pay much, much higher than retail. Things aren't helped by distribution: while a carton of six having two of each character (e.g. 2 Flints, 2 Lady Jayes, 2 COBRA Troopers) sounds reasonable, no one ever buys just one COBRA trooper since they're the franchise's most famous Mooks. Worse, some popular characters being exclusive to certain stores is unfortunate but understandable. However, the COBRA Vipers (the other famous Faceless Goons of the franchise) being exclusive to the department store Target is much less understandable. Add to that an already poor distribution, and you have ripe scalper fodder.

Thermal Dissident: Iceberg may have been born in Brownsville, Texas, but he absolutely prefers frigid temperatures. His toy's filecard[1]◊ said that as a child he saved for an air conditioner and when he signed up for the Army he requested duty in Alaska. note Brownsville, Texas, is the most southern city in the continental United States outside of Key West, Florida. On Sub Zero'snote the GI Joe arctic trooper released in 1990, not the Mortal Kombat character file card, it is said that all the other G.I.Joe Arctic specialists like the cold, but not Sub Zero. It is just that he likes to be "mean", and being in the hated cold weather makes him "mean".

Made of Indestructium: Thrasher's Thunder Machine. Cobbled together from various vehicle parts (including the front bumper of a Trans Am), reactive armor plating, and a stolen jet engine from a mothballed A-4 Skyhawk, the vehicle survived a point-blank blast from a state-of-the-art D.E.M.O.N. tank, which merely flipped it over. Thrasher then used grenades to flip it back over, and it still ran, although the grenades had damaged the engine.

Walking Shirtless Scene: Dr. Mindbender, who also counts as Fetish Retardant. And Gung-Ho, whose debut in the comic was in Alaska. Lampshaded by another Joe who can't believe even a marine would go so far to show off his corps tattoos. That's nothing - Quick Kick is often seen only wearing karate pants, and his debut scene of the cartoon was set in Antarctica. Not only was he shirtless, but he was walking barefoot on solid ice!

The DIC series premiered with one called "Operation Dragonfire." Sigma 6 also had one of these.

Another two-part episode in the original series has Cobra finding out several of the Joe's secret identities (Scarlett, Barbeque, Shipwreck, and Duke, among others). In an interesting continuity nod (unusual for 80s cartoons known for hitting the Reset Button), episodes afterwards had Cobra using this knowledge (IE against Shipwreck in "There's No Place Like Springfield" and Cobra Commander would often address Duke as Sergeant Hauser).

Lamarck Was Right: Serpentor's "genetic evil". Averted in the Devil's Due series, where General Rey, a later clone of Serpentor, ends up being one of the good guys, even leading the G.I. Joe team for a brief time. And in the original Marvel comic, the use of famous historical bad guys' DNA for the cloning is blatantly spelled out by Mindbender as symbolic. Of course, he mentioned he would condition the clone to think like the subjects anyway.

Action Girl: The G.I. Nurse, introduced in 1967, is both the Trope Namer and the first female character in the series. On the other hand, she enters a Misaimed Marketing territory since neither Hasbro nor the store managers could tell whether the G.I. Nurse should be placed alongside other G.I. Joe figures or with the Barbie dolls. Today, she becomes a collector's item. The cartoon's Pyramid of Darkness mini-series had Satin, a lounge singer in a Cobra-controlled city forced against her will because Cobra had her father framed somehow. When Snake Eyes and Shipwreck arrive to escape the city, she assists them, claiming they are part of her band until the end, when she tries to kill Cobra Commander by slamming his head into an electrified console. If not for his helmet shielding him and getting him magnetically stuck, he'd be dead.

Finally, in the late 80s, a short strip that appeared in a couple of Marvel UK comics had GI Joe and Aciton Force merge into a single entity to more efficiently fight Cobra. Henceforth, it was known in the UK as GI Joe the Action Force. This made Scarlett's situation incredibly confusing (see Continuity Snarl above)

Art Evolution: When DIC took over. Also prevalent in the comic during its end days, when everyone at Marvel seemed to try and emulate Rob Liefeld's style. On the toy side of things, the shift from the older "Real American Hero" molds to newer, more detailed sculpts in the line's resurrection in 2002 counts, as well as the switchover to the "25th Anniversary"-style molds.

Expy: Red Star and Big Bear from the toyline were based on Colonel Brekhov and Horror Show from the comics respectively, who were already killed off by the time it was no longer politically sensitive to make action figures of Russian heroes. Red Star later appeared in the comics and his resemblance to Col. Brekhov was referenced as well. The actual Oktober Guard members later got figures of their own. Possibly, Cobra as a whole and the 1982 revival of G.I. Joe, to Marvel's Hydra and D.C.'s Kobra. The Former of the two appeared in 1965(but were first mentioned in 1954). The latter of the two in 1976 premiered Kobra #1 ,which had international Terrorist Jeffery Burr lead an organization named Kobra, bent on ushering in a new world order. Both organizations would repeatedly came in conflict with the few organizations made out of the best the world had to offer... any of this sound familiar? In G.I. Joe: The Movie it's revealed that there's a mystic and religious parts to the organization much like DC's Kobra, which in many ways is a Cult who who worship Burr as Crystal Lizard Jesus. The Dreadnoks are somewhat based on the Hell's Angels. Buzzer's file card indicates he's based loosely on Hunter S. Thompson, specifically Thompson's time spent with the Hell's Angels- except Buzzer joined them. At least in the cartoon, Baroness is practically Natasha Fatale. Morgan Lofting even managed a decent June Foray impression.

comment
Humongous Mecha: In Devil's Due Publishing's GI Joe vs. the Transformers: Cobra, besides the initially-controlled Transformers (referred to as "Battle Android Troopers" by Cobra Commander), also develop powered SNAKE Mecha. Storm Shadow uses this to take on Brawn and Gears (Brawn admits, "That may not have been a REAL Autobot or Decepticreep, but he sure HITS like one"), and in battle beheads Trailbreaker after the Autobot wonders "How can they think this is a good idea?" (Storm Shadow's response? "Don't be hasty. Right human in suit... makes a difference.") Even after Gears, Ratchet and possibly Bluestreak dog pile his SNAKE and rip off the head and chest units, Storm Shadow tries to use the rest to face off against Bumblebee. Baroness uses her SNAKE to stomp Rumble flat before he could harm Destro or Zartan. To counter this, The Autobots let GI Joe access their technology at the end of Volume 1. In return for helping them get back to Cybertron, the Autobots help GI create mecha of their own to counter the SNAK Es. To prevent Cybertron tech from going into the wrong hands, though, Optimus asks the Joes to willingly rid of the mecha around the start of Volume 3. We do have where the mecha-piloting Joes help out the Autobots before the Serpent Organic Robot aka "Serpent O.R." overrides the Joes in the mecha. In particular, Scarlett and Arcee have some "mecha girl to Autobot girl" bonding.

Exact Words: In Special Missions #2 the Joes go dig up a former Nazi scientist holed up in Argentina with Neo-Nazi guards. Turns out, Mossad operatives are there right at the same time to capture him for a war crimes trial. The old guy says he'll help the Joes if they promise to keep Mossad away from him, which they agree to. Near the end of the story it is revealed that he had turned traitor to Germany during the war for his personal gain, which understandably pisses off his guards. As the Joes leave, the man is pleading for them to protect him as they promised. The Joes respond that the deal was to protect him from Mossad, not from his own men.

The latter of the two in 1976 premiered Kobra #1 ,which had international Terrorist Jeffery Burr lead an organization named Kobra, bent on ushering in a new world order. Both organizations would repeatedly came in conflict with the few organizations made out of the best the world had to offer... any of this sound familiar? In G.I. Joe: The Movie it's revealed that there's a mystic and religious parts to the organization much like DC's Kobra, which in many ways is a Cult who who worship Burr as Crystal Lizard Jesus.

Recycled Script: Three of the cartoon series feature episodes where a G.I. Joe member pretends to defect to the enemy to sabotage their operation and only the G.I. Joe team leader knows about the plan: the A Real American Hero two-parter "The Traitor", the DIC episode "Shadow of a Doubt" and the two-part finale of G.I. Joe Extreme.

How loyal The Baroness is to Cobra Commander and Cobra as a whole depends greatly as she goes from being his fanatically loyal number to The Starscream more often than Destro. Also, whether she's involved with Destro or not is also known to vary.

comment
Depending on the Writer: Several of the characters in the comic have very different personalities in other mediums. Cobra Commander in the comic books tends to be an extremely competent and ruthless military leader that has the general loyalty of his follower. He's still evil and prone to ambition but is a genuinely terrifying Evil Genius. In the cartoon, he is a bumbling fool and Dirty Coward. Some adaptations split the difference by making him extremely competent but willing to throw everyone else under the bus to save himself. His backstory also changes from line to line. Serpentor in the comics is an Awesome Ego and A Father to His Men who is able to leverage public opinion to win others overt to his side. He's also able to hide his overwhelming ambition and even be Affably Evil. In the cartoon, he is even more of a Evil Is Stupid blowhard than Cobra Commander and has no strategy other than Attack! Attack! Attack!. Destro tends to range from being a Noble Demon with his own Blue-and-Orange Morality that makes sense only to him to being a Chronic Backstabbing Disorder The Starscream always plotting to take over Cobra for himself. Whether Destro is even a member of Cobra often varies between lines. How loyal The Baroness is to Cobra Commander and Cobra as a whole depends greatly as she goes from being his fanatically loyal number to The Starscream more often than Destro. Also, whether she's involved with Destro or not is also known to vary.
