Not a bad idea, Frank. I rather like that.

But it's more accurate in my 'verse that I only use those that I feel have a position there. Link Talbot and Dr. Mindbender have no place there. I won't even acknowledge them. Screw 'em. BUT someone like Snake Eyes, I don't think I could kill him off for real. I can set up a situation where it looks like he sacrificed himself (ala Transformations), but I can't honestly do it. Same with Duke. I can't JUST kill him off unless I REALLY think about it.

Sure as FRAK, Lady Jaye ain't dead in my verse. QUick Kick? Ain't no recent toy of him, y'know?

I'm not opposed to killing someone off, but it's gotta last and have effects later on. If I kill off Torpedo, then in the future, there BETTER be a mission where the guys will say, "Man, I wish Torpedo was here. He was the best. He'd know what to do!"
