GI Joe: Storyline
The storyline for GI Joe figures can be found in the comic series called GI Joe; A Real American Hero. There were other storylines before this time, but this is probably the most well known. This comic book series was completely tied in with the action figures and it involved 155 different editions that first hit the shelves in 1982. As well as this comic book there was also a TV series and many other attempts to bring GI Joe to life.
In GI Joe: A Real American Hero he battles against evildoers such as Cobra Command. This is a paramilitary force that is determined to gain power no matter what the cost. Cobra is a vast organization with many secret cells; it is constantly able to attract new members because of a huge amount of financial wealth. The only person capable of stopping this evil group is Action Man.
One of the first times GI Joe goes against Cobra it is when they have gotten their hands on a special teleportation device that allows them to create all types of mischief. In order to defeat the baddies GI Joe needs to create a similar machine but first he needs to get the fuel; a special heavy water that lies at the bottom of the ocean.
The very first GI Joe existed in a 1945 movie called The Story of GI Joe. This film followed the 18th battalion as they fight heroic battles during World War Two. The term GI Joe in the film was used to refer to all the different infantry men. The original series of GI action figures were hugely influenced by World War Two.
