In my "JOEVERSE", no zombies (dead is dead), no superpowers, although I have some heroes san powers the Panther, Domino etc. No "dumb" Cobra Commander or stupid Dreadnoks. CC is ruthless, cold,& highly intelligent. He has used fear, mistrust, bribery & manipulation to not only build the most deadliest terroist organization in the world, but has a small country in western Europe he runs thru a "puppet" dictator. Half of my battles take place in the cities of the world(what better place to strike fear in the public then where they feel the most secure). The Joes are American based but globally linked with other groups across the world. All the leaders of these groups make up the "jugglers" & only answer to the leaders of their respective countries, i.e. Gen. Colton only answers to Madame President. Since I only began collecting Joes with VvsV, I have no problem with Ripcord, Storm Shadow being evil or with killing off anyone if the story calls for it.
