It's like looking in a mirror.

I was somewhat confused to read "Battle Action Force" and discover that Red Jackal became Destro. Red Jackal was a Ukrainian (?) with a bionic head, and then in the later Action Force Weekly (50 ish. run) he was pretty much the same as in G.I. Joe: a Scottish arms dealer who had "inherited" (by patricide) the family mask of Destro. His face was disfigured now (by Cobra Commander's acid?), not bionic. In the U.S. versions, his face is normal beneath the mask - and the 12' Hall of Fame action figure came with a removable mask that revealed a menacing, dark-haired figure without any disfigurement.
So, is Destro still considered to be the "former Eastern European Red Jackal" in Britian, or not? I'm just curious.

Battle depict the events as they actually happened, Marvel is pure fantasy.

The two universes bear no relation to each other, unfortunately.

Okay, so the "Marvel Action Force" does not follow the time-line of the "Battle Action Force"?

Nah, more sort of elbows it aside.

Marvel UK Action Force ties in with Marvel US GI Joe.

More than "Marvel is pure fantasy", I prefer to think about each different version as "alternate universes".

"Red Jackal, Marvel Destro and TV Destro walk into an Axiom Nexus' bar..."

Without GI Joe in the US there would be no Red Jackal so therefore Marvel isn't pure fantasy
