G.I. Joe Quaranteam

by Luis Vega

As I chatted with my good friend Jase about Hasbro putting the first 15 episodes of the original G.I. Joe TV series on YouTube, we guessed that Dr. Mindbender and Cobra Commander would definitely be trying to take advantage of the current situation. Obviously the Joes would have to respond in kind. Check out the desktop version to see the Joes matched up with their stats...

The mission leaders would be Outback (the ultimate survivalist) and Airtight (the hostile environmental specialist (“Kurt was the kid who could hold his breath the longest”)). Airtight’s knowledge of airborne viruses and weaponry would ultimately be key in Cobra’s defeat. Doc and Lifeline would be on the front lines, building field hospitals and making sure the team stays healthy.

Madeline asked, “Why did you let me keep two in this picture?” I said, “They are vastly different. We need more doctors! If I had another Lifeline, I would add in a third Lifeline.”

Dial-Tone and Mainframe would be the communications experts. The rest of the team would be filled with Roadblock (“an army recruiter convinced him the army could train him to be a chef”), Flint (a Rhodes Scholar), Lady Jaye (“Cloaked and sandaled, she can squat down with a basket of oranges in any Middle Eastern marketplace and blend in perfectly”), and Snake Eyes (trained in “mountaineering, underwater demolitions, jungle, desert, and arctic survival” on his file card).

With the assembled team, it would be a matter of time before both the virus and Cobra were defeated. —LV
