G.I. Joe Chain Quiz

[Easy E]

I was a huge fan of the cartoon and the toys when I was a wee lad. Since there are many chain quizzes here I thought I would start one for the Joe's.

Let's keep all questions related to the Cartoon show and toys from the 80's and not venture of into G.I. Joe Extreme or G.I. Joe Sigma 6 (But feel free to comment on them) for questions.

Let's start of with a simple one:

What was the name of Snakeye's Wolf?

[Morathi's Darkest Sin]

The wolf was named Timber.

[der_lex]

Timber.

Name four of the people that Serpentor got his DNA from.

[Morathi's Darkest Sin]

Alexander the Great, Vlad tepes, Gengis Khan and Sun Zsu.


Edit.

Not actually done one of these before, but picking a subject close to my heart so I'm interested, not sure if I have the second question right, but if confirmed I will post a question.

[der_lex]

Yup, you got it right. God thing, since you were faster on the reply to the orginal question as well (mea culpa).

So please, ask away.

[Easy E]

You got two right:

Napolean, Alexander the Great, Hannibal, and my favorite... Sgt. Slaughter. (Alternatively there was also Genghis Khan, Ceasar, and Atilla?)

Edit: Woops, Morathi got it Right. Sorry, I removed my question.

[Morathi's Darkest Sin]

Okay .. my question..

Name me three members of Tiger force?


(on a side note for future ref in case I'm first on the draw on someone elses question, am I able to use a question from the Original 80's-90's comic, not the new stuff of course, as a few great ones come to mind if allowed.)


edit

gotta go.. bed, perhaps a little of Oblivion calls... I'll check in tomorrow... nice thread EasyE.. I'll be digging out my GI Joe fact cards in the morning you know..

[Easy E]

I would like to steer clear of the comic as many things in the comic were very different then the show and toy line. This is mostly from a personal perspective as I never read the comics. However, let's see how the thread develops.

Tiger Force= Duke, Dusty, and Flint (?)

[Morathi's Darkest Sin]

Yep...

Main roster ... Duke, Lifeline, Flint, Dusty, Roadblock, Bazooka, Tripwire, Recondo, Frostbite, Skystriker.

plus UK team ... Outback, Sneak peek, Blizzard, Tunnel Rat, Hit'n'Run and Psyche Out


I loved that Tiger Force Rattler.

[Easy E]

Me too. I just love any version of the Rattler.

What was the name of the Crimson Twin's Cobra front company?

[der_lex]

Wasn't that Extensive Enterprises?

[Easy E]

Correct! It was Extensive Enterprises. What a great name for a company.

[blurred]

Wow. I can't believe someone remembers these. I was a huge fan of the toys and the comics as a kid. Especially the old stories were very, very good. The later ones (ninja wars etc.) were just too out-of-this-world for me.

Oh and does anyone remember the story where Lightfoot, Repeater and Budo got through the training and fought against disguised grenadiers just after it? That was one of my favourites.

[der_lex]

Alright, so I guess it's my turn now...

Which football player got his own GI Joe action figure in 1986?

[Deja Dude]

The Fridge!!

[der_lex]

Yup, spot on. Ask away...

[Deja Dude]

hmm, what medical condition was Zartan supposed to suffer from...until health groups demanded it be withdrawn?

[der_lex]

Schizophrenia.

[Deja Dude]

right on! Zartan's awesome though, you could almost take it as a compliment! No offense intended...

Fire away!

[der_lex]

Which GI Joe member was apparently related to Destro? (one of my fave villains, by the way)
