If Clutch is a Marine, I figure Crankcase might as well be one, too. I apply the same logic to Mainframe, Hi-Tech, and Hacker.

I think it was said that Clutch was Army and went into the Mega Marines as a joint thing. Unless it was a different Clutch like Airborne in Sky Patrol was different from v1 Airborne.

Marines are very strict about regulations and appearance.

I can understand why many of them wouldn't want to join an organization that treats Hawaiian shirts, spandex, gimp masks, and giraffe pants as acceptable uniforms.

It is unlikely that Crankcase is anything besides army because he spent allot of his time overseas as an observer with the Brits ( the Pegasus patch on his arm)

In all seriousness It is probably because they are a self sufficient organization.

I always figured it was because there was a strengent IQ test to pass to get into the joes, And lets face it, Marines are known more for brawn than brain.

nope, same Clutch, both Lance J. Steinberg. He's definitely Army but he was probably was just deployed with that special ops Marine unit as the best transport guy and mechanic on the team... or something.

If not for his secondary specialty (Marines use Navy chaplains), I would say Wild Card is probably one due to his penchant for breaking things. ;-)

Well you know Marines and SEALs can both attack from the ocean so perhaps the Joe ninjas have confused them with pirates or something.

It was my understanding that originally (that is, Revolutionary War originally), Marines /were/ the Navy special forces.

Even now, Marines have (it seems) few differentiating teams / schools that are publicly known and easily recognized. Army has Green Berets, Rangers, Airborne, 10th Mountain Division, etc etc. These are things that can be slapped upon the front of the package: "Hey, look, I got the Ranger!" "Oh yeah, I got the Flamethrower!" So, each time they want to put out a new Marine, all they could think of to put on the package is ... "Marine".

That's probably the biggest reason why we haven't seen them.
