Snake Eyes certainly has purpose in my Joeverse, but he ain't no ninja.

Yeah, the superhuman ninja crap got old real quick....and the whole "Firefly...was he or wasn't he a ninja" thing...BLAH! And then the "let's jump on EVERY bandwagon to get our piece of the pie" thing! (You know....Mega Marines= Aliens, Eco Warriors = Capt Planet, DEF = COPS, dino hunters = Jurrassic Park) God, I'm suprised they didn't have a new purple, red, yellow and blue GI joes to to try capitalize on Teletubbies!
for me, the Marvel stuff ended with issue 115......after that it was all downhill!
