I read somewhere that the Plague from WWII was made with 13 members to be similar to the 13 original G.I. Joe members, then I'm trying to see who equals who, but I can find just a few similitudes:

Blackout= :afstalker: (the second-in-command)
Guillotine=Hawk (the leader)
Bayonet=?
Body Bags=?
Gallows= :tonup: (the machine gunner)
Grim Skull=?
Incision= :snakeeyes: (the ninja)
Infrared=?
Interrogator=?
Munitia= :scarlett: (the gal... or is that too sexist?)
Vanguard=Grunt (the soldier)
Vector= :flash: (the laser guy)
Velocity=?

I just could find those... and maybe Rip It=Shooter (the member who never was a member :lol: )

Blackout= :afstalker: (the second-in-command) Lowlight
Guillotine=Hawk (the leader) Torpedo
Body Bags=?
Gallows= :tonup: (the machine gunner)
Grim Skull=? Dusty
Incision= :snakeeyes: (the ninja)
Infrared=? Stalker
Interrogator=? Psycheout
Munitia= :scarlett: (the gal... or is that too sexist?)
Vanguard=Grunt (the soldier)
Vector= :flash: (the laser guy)
Velocity=? Grand Slam with the JUMP

It's a little hard to match up the original 13 for this DA but other Joes I recommend are Torpedo instead of Hawk,Psyche-Out,Lowlight instead of Stalker and Dusty.

Well, I just had guessed that being a group of 13, they could ber like the 13 original Joes, but thinking in a more "general" idea, they could then be like you said, though I'd change Low Light for Barrel Roll, another Joe sniper, but with the difference of being Blackout's brother.

I had hoped Hasbro would release the Plague Squad as a Special Set & the Red Shadows as a 7pk (Wilder,Dela,Artur,Black Major,Red Laser & 2 Troopers) but as always- nothing!!!!
