Just a thought, but you could use the series 1 Royal Marine as a pre-brain washed Black Major.....

Sure the full title of the Royal Marines is Royal Marines Commando, so we are all correct really. It's a British Forcesism which dates back to WW2.

The Major started off as a Royal Marine Commando , then he graduated to S.B.S (Special Boat Service) then onto the first generation Action Force ..seems Like SAS, Space Force, Q-Force and Z Force hadn't been formed until after the events in The Black Major. I think a repaint of Skip in Marine camouflage with a Green Beret as opposed to Red .(but what do I know I don't do customs lol)
