It's this guy. You know, from that cartoon.

Incidentally, this first arc of Origins is by Larry Hama. You know, the GI Joe guy.

>Stalker is Hawk's second-in-command
>Eventually gets revealed to have been part of the Adventure Team
>Still never really does anything more significant than be a drill sergeant
Really, going by rank, he should've taken over from Hawk instead of Duke, right?

If you've read the Marvel G.I. Joe comics, this guy probably seems familiar. He's not who you're thinking of, though.

Maybe it's because I'm not exactly a military guy - hell, I'm not even American - but did this scene feel stupidly cheesy to anyone else?

A good part of this first arc is "hey, it's these guys! You recognise them from your childhood, right?"

And here we have our first instance of Snake Eyes doing a superhuman badass stunt that nobody else can hope to compare to. This will become a bit of a theme.

Yes, a supervillain was directly responsible for the Great Recession. At least there's giant robots to distract us from it!

The end of the beginning! Not a bad story, even if it was a little silly at points.
Unfortunately, what comes next - despite also being written by Hama - is... less good.

This story isn't bad so much as it is... just, really, really bland.

Well, that was... something. Next time, though, we'll jump to the "present day" and see Cobra start to come into the picture...
