IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED IF LOST. As an introverted, undersized adolescent dreamer with a voracious appetite for fantasy, science fiction, and military-themed toys and comic books, in the mid-1980s I was a passionate collector of all things G.I. Joe. Each day following my after school job, I arrived home to read issues of the Marvel Comic repeatedly—until the pages appeared dog-eared and their covers faded. Although I didn’t enjoy the Sunbow animated program nearly as much as the comic, I still managed to view my VHS-taped episodes of the cartoon until the tape warped from overuse. Most importantly, I collected all of the “clip and save” Combat Command File Card dossiers from the backs of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe action figure packages and took great pleasure in appreciating and understanding the intricate, nuanced facts contained therein—details about every gallant G.I. Joe team member and malevolent agent of Cobra Command. After cutting these chipboard file card biographies from their toy packages, I organized these dossiers together by year, with each series separated from the other with a different colored rubber band. I then gently placed all of the secured file cards I owned into one of my mother’s discarded metal recipe boxes. When the spirit moved me—and it did so a few times a week—I’d crack open the lid to the recipe box and carefully take out one series of file cards, remove the colored elastic surrounding the dossiers from that year (placing the band around my wrist so I wouldn’t lose it), and then I would devour the information: every bit of data and colorful anecdote these cards would provide. I memorized each character’s occupation/vocation, File Name (the character’s real name), Primary Military Specialty (“PMS”), Secondary Military Specialty (“SMS”), Birthplace, Grade (the soldier’s rank), background and military training (schooling, etc.), weapon proficiencies, and lengthy psychological profile or peer personality assessment: I remembered it all. Studying this bevy of information a few times each week would transport me into a fantastical fictional world; these cards helped to suspend my disbelief, triggered my imaginative drive, and afforded me the ability to fully invest in the larger narrative created by Mr. Hama within the pages of the Marvel Comic. I suppose my memorization of the information on a G.I. Joe file card was similar in fashion to how other kids might review and recall the statistics on a baseball card. Height. Weight. The side the player hits from. What team drafted said player. The number of games played. Number of at bats. Batting average. Et cetera. However, as a kid I never understood the hobby of collecting sports cards. They seemed a facile manner of transmitting a meaningless jumble of statistics that held no higher purpose: To what end did this serve? Idol worship? Most importantly, sports cards possessed no narrative; they didn’t convey meaning—they were a bloodless, two-dimensional conveyance of cold statistics and empirical facts. A G.I. Joe file card was different: these paper biographies, although brief, delivered dynamic heroes and villains to the reader as magnificently-rendered, three-dimensional characters that walked upright and spoke aloud. Due to the quality of Larry Hama’s writing on these Combat Command File Cards, I was heavily invested in these fictional characters; characters who became my friends. Additionally, often before Mr. Hama introduced a new character within the pages of the Marvel Comic (or before they ever premiered on the Sunbow cartoon), the author had first drafted these file cards for the character’s production as a Hasbro action figure, and so these compact dossiers frequently introduced— premiered, really—a new character to the national fan base. This first impression therefore, had to be a lasting one. And it often was. So then, whenever a new assortment of action figures hit the retail pegs of my local Ames department store (a discount chain located in the Northeast popular during the 1980s), I hopped onto my ten-speed and raced the three-and-a-half miles on a dangerous road and a dicey bridge or two to plunk my hard-earned cash down and snatch up the latest wave of fabulous Hasbro offerings. On one occasion—and I remember it well—I was confronted with a Footloose action figure hanging on my hometown Ames’ retail pegs, and I was thrilled: I had finally acquired a G.I. Joe team member that included: an M16 rifle with strap, another weapon in the form of a LAW rocket, a decent-looking field pack, and a uniquely-camouflaged helmet. Of course, I appreciated the character’s body construction as well: Ron Rudat (the Lead Designer of the G.I. Joe brand) and his team at Hasbro were peerless in their delivery of 3 ¾” military action figures. With fabulous poseability and dressed smartly in a set of fatigues that expertly captured a soldierly aesthetic (one that Rudat consistently conveyed throughout his tenure), I knew that this new Joe had the potential to be utterly spectacular.

    WELCOME Welcome to the GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra Movie Plug‐In for the FREE GI Joe the RPG! If you have not seen the movie, be ready for spoilers. So how did this Summer blockbuster change the history of GI Joe? If playing in the RoC setting: GI Joe is a highly trained, classified special operations unit composed of men and women from around the globe. These warriors don’t even exist. Few know the truth – that GI Joe fights a secret war, as the first and last line of defense against forces that seek to plunge our world into chaos. Wherever there’s trouble, GI Joe is there. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle! GI Joe The Joe’s base of operation, The Pit, is located in Egypt buried deep underground. The base is secretly guarded from world leaders. There are several levels including a sea, desert and jungle proving ground. Their communication and data network is the best that money can buy. When heading out on missions, the Joes are transported on jet‐powered VTOL aircraft which can get them to the scene in record time. The Pit also has a massive collection of state‐of‐the‐art military vehicles to help carry out operations. On the sea, the Joes maintain an aircraft carrier that contains their worst prisoners, too dangerous to be on the mainland. Cobra Commander, Destro and the Baroness are current inmates. When creating Joes, follow the same process as you would for the RPG, but add Delta 6 Accelerator Suit to the skill list in the Joe Tier.

  • Militarism, Security, and War: the Politics of Contemporary Hollywood Superheroes
    MILITARISM, SECURITY, AND WAR: THE POLITICS OF CONTEMPORARY HOLLYWOOD SUPERHEROES LORI ANN CROWE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO AUGUST 2018 © LORI ANN CROWE, 2018 Abstract In the fields of political science and international relations, engagement with popular culture has been deemed predominantly un-important and irrelevant as an area of study. This dissertation interrogates one of the most popular cultural icons of the early 21st century, the fictional Hollywood superhero, and asks what it does for us to take seriously that which is often deemed frivolous entertainment. Understanding the superhero as a political entity in and of itself, this project reveals the mutually constitutive relationship between its production, consumption and reproduction and particular ideologies around militarism, security and war. Acknowledging the complexities of superhero characters, narratives, and aesthetics such as subversive and contested elements, this project reveals superheroes as potential sites of political and ideological reflection, articulation, constitution, and transgression. This project demonstrates that a pop cultural/aesthetic approach to IR can enable critical practices that contribute to complicating and enhancing our understandings of war and politics. ii Table of Contents Abstract ………………………………………………………………………………….. ii Table of Contents ……………………………………………………………………….
