As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Snake-Eyes is awesome personified, including breaking into Destro's castle to save Scarlett and actually taking on Storm Shadow and his ninjas with little weapons, and breaking free during a Cobra torture session, and going upstairs to rescue the people who were supposed to rescue him. In Snake-Eyes-Land, prisoner saves you!
  • The comic introduction of Duke and Roadblock. Cobra Commander sends a prototype Rattler to strafe the Joes during Gen. Flagg's funeral. Duke and Roadblock show up out of nowhere and shoot it down using only a .50 cal and a pistol.
  • In issue #28, some Joes on the WHALE face Destro, who attacks with a Rattler. Then Roadblock's gun is eliminated and Deep-Six's mount breaks. The Rattler keeps coming so Roadblock uses his own back as a mount and Deep-Six destroys the Rattlernote .
  • In issue #34, we have Ace in the Skystriker with Scarlett facing off against Wild Weasel in the Rattler with Baroness. The awesome part comes at the end, when they face each other head on, only to realize they had run out of weapons. As they pass each other, they give a salute, and fly off back to their respective bases in their trashed planes.
  • In #46, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow find out that Zartan killed the Hard Master decades ago and put aside their differences in order to avenge him. Both assault Cobra Island together and prove an insurmountable pair of foes for an entre island nation of enemy forces. In the end, they are taken down but only barely.
  • In issue #50, the newly awakened Serpentor immediately takes command of Springfield's evacuation and leads the forces to hold GI Joe off long enough that they can successfully evacuate the town to Cobra Island. He even rescues a single soldier at personal cost to himself, establishing himself as possessing Villainous Valor.
  • Issue #80: The Rolling Thunder is facing off against several Cobra Maggots, and beating the hell out of them. The crew of one of them gets the bright idea to try to get close to get underneath the Thunder's main gun. It works... until the Rolling Thunder runs them over.
