#26. Snake-Eyes: The Origin

~Short Summary~
Part one of a two-part look into Snake-Eyes' background, and the connection between him and Storm Shadow. It is believed that Storm Shadow killed his own uncle from his ninja clan, which Snake-Eyes had also joined.

~Notes of Interest~
Destro quotes Kwinn, the Eskimo on the first page, "A man who whips his dog will pull his own sled some day." Tripwire's clumsiness is highlighted with numerous falls and trips. Snake-Eyes' background is described and his connection with Storm Shadow is explained. It is revealed that Snake-Eyes lost his entire family in a car accident. Many ninja techniques and weapons are shown during Snake-Eyes training. The finisher was credited as Steve Leialoha. Leialoha was also the file name of Torpedo. Coincidence? It's the second issue drawn by Larry Hama, the Joe comics writer.
