G.I.Joe vs. S.H.I.E.L.D

[Ultra Lantern]

Who would win if they battled each other?


G.I.Joe

S.H.I.E.L.D.

[Duke]

G.I.Joe would win because there are a lot of members in the organization & also have advanced weaponry. I also can't pick against G.I.Joe because i'm biased & 2nd in command. :woot:

[Ultra Lantern]

Nick Fury would make sure that G.I.Joe would lose.

[Duke]

Not even!!! He's just one guy with 1 good eye. The guy is overrated!!:hehe:

[Scourge2099]

I'm going with S.H.I.E.L.D . Nick Fury is a big enough d*** to sacrifice his son , several of his oldest friends , a bunch of teenagers and a bunch of dudes just to get back at Baron Strucker for double crossing him and nearly killing him in the 1960s. Can Duke go the same lengths to get back at Cobra Commander ?

[Duke]

I think when the everything is on the line, I think he'd do anything to win. Also, General Hawk commands the Joe team, not Duke. Duke is 2nd in the chain of command.

I never read a GI Joe book before. I'm only familiar with the cartoon's continuity.

Now you know & knowing is half the battle. :cwink:




***In the whole Arise Serpentor, Arise mini series & the animated movie, Hawk is in command.

I recall that , but not well. I was shocked to learn Duke wasn't in command in the books. MyUselessKnowledge is expanding my understanding of the Joeverse though.

Are there any TPBs of GI Joe out there ? I've been trying to find them at my local comic book shop , but no such luck yet.

[Duke]

I've seen a few here & there a Books A Million & other book stores.

[Scourge2099]

I wonder if they have them at Borders then ?

[Duke]

They might have them. Do you have a Books A Million nearby?

[Scourge2099]

There's one near by. I've never been to it though.

[Ultra Lantern]

Please get back on topic.

[Scourge2099]

GI Joe would win right now since there's no more S.H.I.E.L.D anyway.

Yeah baby!!!:applaud

[Scourge2099]

If S.H.I.E.L.D was still around I'd give them the victory. I don't think the Joes have anything that could take out a helicarrier.

[Duke]

Well, all they'd have to do is borrow Cobra's Weather Dominator & presto no more Heli-Carrier, besides the Joe team has tons on aircraft & anti-aircraft weapons to bring it down. I also have to say that since we're discussing military they'd probably have atomic/nuclear weapons.

[Scourge2099]

Helicarriers have force fields though. Its hard to take one out when its force field is up.

[Duke]

Please get back on topic.





No offense, but you've hardly contributed to this topic. :whatever:

None taken.


S.H.I.E.L.D. has some superheros like Hawkeye and Black Widow on there side. G.I. Joe doesn't have any.

[Duke]

Seriously??? The entire Joe Team is a hero squad, with different skills & functions.

[Ultra Lantern]

S.H.I.E.L.D. might have shapeshifers among them.
G.I.Joe has none.Maybe if G.I.Joe teams up with COBRA,Dr Mindbender and Destro can create some.
COBRA won't become allies with G.I.Joe,because they want world domination.

[Scourge2099]

S.H.I.E.L.D has telepaths , mystics , etc too. I don't think GI Joe has anything like that.

If COBRA teams up with GI Joe , then HYDRA gets to team up with S.H.I.E.L.D. No way can anybody in GI Joe or COBRA beat the Gorgon.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Wins!!
G.I.Joe loses!!

A long time ago I thought this would be a great idea for a comic. One sides more military while the other is espionage so it would certainly be different.

Both organizations are rather hush hush concerning the public in the comics (SHIELD more so). The Joes are probably more prepared for a direct military confrontation whereas SHIELD specializes in clandestine insurgency. The Joes would be more willing to engage in a public battle.

As much as I love the Joes I think SHIELD might take the victory. The Joes are a HUGE task force but SHIELD is pretty big too, maybe even more agents than there are Joes. Plus technologically I think they have the advantage.

I DO think they can take out a Helicarrier. They've taken out Cobras helicarriers, assaulted Cobra Island, and the Terrordrome.

They are a team of specialists and if anything taking on a technologically advanced group like Cobra, dealing with intelligence and counter intelligence, has prepared them to take on an organization like SHIELD one on one. They'd probably lose but they'd put one hell of a dent in SHIELD that would take them years to recover from.

Plus depending on how far it goes The Joe do have ONE guy who could get in and KILL or kidnap Fury and put them in disarray long enough to get an advantage.

I still say SHIELD wins but its a close fight. I'd be more worried about a secret spy organization like SHIELD going to the Pentagon and the Jugglers and having The Joe force shut down. It'd be an easier way to take them on than a direct physical confrontation.

Its an ironic dream confrontation since I believe some of Larry Hamas original ideas for the G.I. Joe comic were taken from an idea of his for a book that was a spinoff from Nick Fury/S.H.I.E.L.D. Its no coincidence that there are similarities between the 80's GI Joe franchise and Marvels SHIELD.
