I have a what-if scenario for the board.

The JOEs capture a Cobra science lab and locate a blank slate body that was to become the next iteration of Serpentor.

After discovering there is no dormant or hidden Cobra stuff in any of the programming, the Jugglers decide to create a JOE version of Serpentor.

They then get access to the DNA of some of America's greatest soldiers and military minds.

What twelve factual and fictional soldiers would make up a JOE version of Serpentor and what would you call it? If fictional, list what they are from...

What qualities would be important?

(If you pick someone like Captain America, the blank slate wouldn't get Cap's Super Soldier abilities, just his leadership and inspirational qualities...)


1) General George S. Patton
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
11)
12)

I'd add George Washington to the list.
Also, Ambrose Burnside but only for the DNA responsible for facial hair.

Sgt Alvin York for his steadfast determination and keen eye.

Also, this should really go in the main Joe forum, imho.

How about the original Tecumseh too?

In the hopes some of their athleticism would make him a better soldier I'd add these two.

Usain Bolt (world record 100m and 200m runner)
Fedor Emelianenko (legendary Russian MMA heavyweight fighter)

_________________

Since this is probably underwritten by a congressional subcommittee, and the jugglers, they would require there be some USA connection to the people.

Jesse Owens rather than Usain Bolt, and Muhammad Ali as the fighter would fit the bill.

Don't forget exhuming Elvis to give him talent. (ok, so that's pushing it).

F Lee Ermey -- just for the attitude.

Alternatively, Sgt. Slaughter for the same reason.

I would assume that they would want this person to be under control. if they couldn't control him he would be a liability.

1.) George Patton (tactics and Attitude)
2.) Omar Bradley (to balance the above mentioned out)
3.) Cobra Commander (charisma ((very small dose))
4.) General Hawk (Tactics and Leadership ability)
5.) Beach Head (physical attributes)
6.) MacGyver (why? Why not!)
7.) Doctor Henry Jones Jr. (Natural on your feet intellect as well as well polished Smarts)
8.) Chuck Norris (so he could kick Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows Butt lol)
9.) Woodrow F Call (Leadership abilities)
10.) Socrates (Philosophy)
11.) Leonardo Da Vinci (mental abilities)
12.) Tzar Nicholas II (ability to be Controlled)

I am sure I would change this a lot but a quick list that works.

Hmm, what would be the outcome of this list:

1. Major Payne (Damon Wayons in the movie)
2. Private Joker (Full Metal Jacket)
3. Lt. Topper Harley (Hot Shots)
4. Kowalski (Madagascar)
5. Sgt. Tackleberry (Police Academy
6. Sgt. Bilko (Steve Martin in the Movie)
7. Tugg Speedman (Tropic Thunder)
8. Lt. Frank Drebin (The Naked Gun
9. Charlie Baileygates/Hank Evans (Me, Myself and Irene)
10. Axel Foley (Beverly Hills Cop)

The question is flawed because it already happened.

Code Name: Chuck Norris.

He then round-house kicked the lab, making sure he was one-of-a-kind.



Ok, seriously, are we talking a leader or just a team member?
Here are my selections, some already picked in other posts:

Audie Murphy
Roy Benavidez
Dan Daly (winner of TWO Medals of Honor)
Robert L. Howard (One of, if not the, most decorated soldier of Vietnam, real-life Rambo)
Mr. T
Chris Kyle
Gen. George Patton
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Teddy Roosevelt
Wyatt Earp
Eliot Ness

As for a code name, following Cobra's Serpentor line of thought, would G.I.Joe's version be called "Eagle"?

Funny side note, the 1964 G.I.Joe head was falsely said to be a composite of the faces of different Medal of Honor winners.
