Things you won't put in your Joe-Verse
 

For me!

-Zombies
-Crossovers with things like Super-heroes, Movies and things that wouldn't match the timeline
-White Ripcord
-Storm Shadow being a good guy
-Carbon Copy characters. What's the difference between Thunder and Thunderwing? or Snow Job and White-Out?

How about you?

Neon Figures

Duke as a Goody Two Shoes

GIJOE as the No Dirt On Boots their intended to be

Zombies! yeah no! to easy to kill!

Storm shadow is crazy in the head so he goes back and forth.

ect ect.....

death I could see aliens look at predator! for sure!

i'd have to think about it! lol

Can't say I would bring in Super Heros.
I rename guys that are copies.I would use Snow Job and White out.

Cobra! (No, just kidding)

Let's see.... in my Joeverse I don't truly have super heroes, mostly because I've never really been involved with them. There are some exceptions, though, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc. They exist in the Joeverse, but rarely ever used.

Dreadnoks are smarter, and more biker gang than simply Zartan gang.

A super, larger than life Zartan. In my Joeverse, Zartan is a cool dude who likes to rob from the rich and give to the poor... just kidding on that one too. But seriously, he's cool, smooth, and highly professional, much like the Marvel Comics version, and would never dare challenge Cobra Commander.

A wimpy Cobra Commander. My CC is cunning, shrewed, plotting. A "play chess" kinda person who also cares about his troops. Why? Because troops cost money. An army doesn't march on bread alone, it requires lots of funding. So he and the Crimson Twins are pretty important.

Zombies, no, I really never been into that genre. I can't imagine the dead or near dead becoming animated.

My Duke is hardcore.

I do use both Black and White Ripcord. However, White Ripcord got killed or retired, since the Joes are about 25+ years.. so there's changes and replacements.

Dialtone 1 got killed, and Dialtone 2, the female one, now takes his place.

I've got aliens in my Joeverse. Why? Well, if Transformers can exist in the Joeverse, then for me so can aliens. Anyway, makes for some interesting adventures.

So anyway, I definately do not have the following: wimpy Cobra, clean cut Joes.

If I had any super hero figures, they'd exist in my 'verse, but as humans with exceptional skills, not mutated powers or anything like that. Punisher is Punisher as he would sort of fit with the Joes if he wasn't so blood thirsty for vengence.
He was oconsidered for the team when they first formed, but that was about the same time his family was killed, so they left him alone for a bit and when they went to recruit him again, they saw what he had become. All though they like his skills, the higher ups don't want a vigalante on the team.

Sorry Fireflyed, no black Ripcord for me either. My black Ripcord became Wreckage.

If I had the time and $$$, I'd make custom Star Wars figures that woud blend in. I can't recall who had the awesome Joe-verse style Fetts, but my guys would be like that. Otherwise, I don't have any SW figures in Joe-verse.

No Zombies or other horror movie monsters. No supernatural beings either.

No giant mutated experiments of Dr. Mindbender gone wrong or creatures from Destro's castle.

Pilots fly in my 'verse, not sailors and infantrymen. Tankers drive my tanks.

Pretty much anything that couldn't exist in real life isn't in my Joe-verse. About the only vehicle I've got that could never be is the Cobra Gunship. All the rest of my vehicles could be real.
Same with characters, no Croc Master or Raptor and especially not Crystal Ball. I don't have a lot of Cobra's named characters as they seem to have the more over the top personalities and bizarness.
Yes, I have Zartan, but I go with the idea that he's wearing a suit of micro hogram projectors that help him change his appearance and blend in with the back ground. That technology exists, barely.

My named Cobras are all mercs who would drop Cobra at the drop of the hat if the funds stop coming to their bank account. They have no loyalty to CC, only to his bank account. The troops on the other hand are made up of people who are in Cobra for different reasons; some are mercenaries, some are disgruntled former military from various nations, some are just plain criminals who couldn't get into an out fit tlike the Mafia or Hell's Angels, and others are guys who truley believe in CC's ideals. These are the guys who usually work their way up through the ranks the fastest.

Storm Shadow is a hard one. In the 'toon he was always a bad guy, but he spent almost his entire run in the comics as a Joe. I pretty much keep him a baddie, simply because that's how I know him and the only SS figure I've got has a Cobra symbol on his outfit.

The Crimson Twins have the usual connection that real twins seem to posess, but not the "you hit T and X feels the whole thing and gets knocked to the ground" thing.

I'm with Otto on the Dave and Chad Bobas...if I could do one that good, it would be in my Joeverse. I can't diss Zombies, since I have a bizarre clown army inspired by Xander and DD's Nok clowns :D Getting back to Ians title, things I won't put in are:

Female Dial Tone
Carla Greer...Doc never died here
Hawk with "just for men" brown hair :p
Cobra La
Ron Jeremy...he makes Lady Jaye and Cover Girl uncomfortable

I don't have a Joe-Verse.

If I did, things I'd avoid:

- Zombies, except Toxo-Zombie who's still alive just a freak.

- Vampires, especially emo ones.

- Real world terrorists. I like my childish fantasy seperate from the grim reality.

- Transforming alien robots (because they don't make any that are to GI JOE scale anyway.)

I'm of the mind if it happened in the toys, it happened.

That said, I've never known what to do with Cobra-La, in part because there's not enough of them (figures, characters) to do anything with and its hard to add more. It's not like you can just add some CORPS figures to fill out their ranks. And besides, what do you do with them besides have another GI JOE vs. bugs scenario?
