line art from Rodrigo

[Ross SC]

his face was badly burned and his vocal chords ruined when he was hit by burning aviation fuel.

thats what i always thought, but he looks ok in "rise of the red shadows" when he has his mask off in the helicopter, whats the deal?
nice artwork rodrigo, dont worry, every post gets off topic!

okay here is the deal

yes he lost his voice and had his face scarred in the helicopter accident where he was trying to save Scarletts life

in the snake eyes trilogy story--- somewhere around issue #90 of the original Marvel series---- he gets major plastic surgery done and looks almost perfect.

in the same storyline scarlett gets shot in the head , while she is in a coma snakeyes manages to utter her name SCARLETT , the first words he has spoken in years.--- and the last until this date

also the early marvel episodes shows Snake eyes with word balloons like this "........" this was suppose to be somekind of sound ( so says Larry hama) perhaps it was just a wind sound resonating from this vocal cords or something it was never explained by larry other than he pointed it out and said exactly what I said above ( in the old letter colums)

also people who cant talk whether they were born like that or not opens thier mouth all the time especially in times of excitement and with people who lost thier voices do to an accident, its more a reflex than anything

For the record DDP did suggest his face got wrecked again by SEI TAN, but then ignored that and went back on that to say nothing had happend

Doesn't he have a rubber face mask underneath his hood? Although I guess wearing both at once wuld be a bit weird. Maybe that was pre-surgery. Wasn't there a Special Missions mini where Scarlett and Snake-Eyes pull in to a convenience store for some talcum powder to stop his mask itching?

ya way before he had the surgery infact the issue before the snake eyes trilogy we get to see his face for the first time and he does it by pulling off his rubber mask to show us.

after surgey he doesnt need the mask

i remember this! which issues have the story of him losing his face? was thinking about making a snake eyes custom with alternate heads, mask, rubber undermask & burnt face, now i will add his "new/original" face!

That's his slide projector. He has little thumb button that lifts the slide out of the viewer thingy, rototes the wheel of slides one notch and then drops in the next slide.



So nyer.

ok, now "ROO-RA-CHICK" makes more sense!
again, what issues cover snake eyes losing his face?

[The Baron]

They'll be in the US GI Joe comics - I expect someone here will know, but if not you could always plough through the Yojoe comics archive / ask at their boards.

IIRC it was in the Stalker / Snake-Eyes / Storm Shadow / Wade Collins (CG Fred) Vietnam-flashback story arc.
