duke, as well as many other joes have backgrounds in martial arts. also i see he and scarlett actually getting more time alone then she would with snake eyes. and as i said, he leaves her at the alter once a week, any girls no alter what they self esteem is will leave the guy in time. i would put her with anyone but snake eyes. have you noticed that snake eyes always has to have either storm shadow or scarlett with him. so they can tell the reader what he is thinking, i dont like that part of him either.

But yeah seems like what people grew up with first is what is closest to their hearts. And its all gijoe so its all good in the end

i dont see this. duke was the all american, spirit was spiritual, bazooka was dumb, wildbill was different, roadblock rhymed, shipwreck was goofy, quick kick did the voices, beach head was stern, storm shadow although bad had honor, mutt was quick tempered. the comic everyone was all american, serious about their jobs and never joked, except clutch.
