    Here's my Zartan story.
    I was 4 years old when he was first released and it was through mail order only at first , my mom made a deal with me that if I learned how to tie my shoes she would order him for me. I had that skill mastered in a day, and a month or so later I got Zartan in the mailbox, I was extremely happy 😃

    Anytime you see Zartan , you know the storyline is going to be good. The only villain who switches sides more then a light switch. Sometimes he even helps the good guys , because it furthers his own plans , and who would even know.

    Slight correction: The 1st issue of the Zartan toy had the Paranoid Schizophrenia comments at the end of his file. However, this was quickly edited out within a year due to backlash from the Psychiatry community. Further issues of the Zartan toy would have the same file minus the Psychiatric profile until his pink mohawk update in the early 90's, when he seemingly joined G.I.Joe.

    Zartan is one of the most interesting characters. He has technology that wasn't given to him by Cobra, and no doubt must have gone through some experiment with some quack doctor. His chest armor plate glows red when he gets real angry, sunlight affects him, and he has skills that could make you think he had some training in ninjitsu. He is a dangerous individual.

    My biggest problem with the live action GIJoe Movies is that the characters in the movies look nothing like their comic book and animated counterparts. Except for Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and The Baroness. I wish they went towards a more comic book route and made all of the Joe’s and Cobra look like how we know them. I will say that I am very excited to see what Hasbro Studios is going to do with their Cinematic Universe. From what I understand The HCU for a lack of better words is going to include; The GIJoes, The Freaking Micronauts, Romm The Space Knight, and I do believe The Transformers. What I really want to see out of all of those movies is The rebooted GIJoes and The Micronauts. I think Hasbro is going to go all out and finally give us The GIJoes that we all know and love. The Micronauts on the other hand will definitely be a movie with characters that we have never really seen on the big screen. The Micronaut toy line is easily one of the coolest and innovative toy lines of the 1970’s and 80’s. In fact when the toys were popular, Marvel put out a killer comic book series based on the toys and if the Micronauts movie is anything like the comic books we will be in for a treat.

      I think that Marvel should permanently buy back comic book rights to G.I. Joe/ Action Force, The Transformers, Ron the Spaceknight, and Godzilla, as well as all other comic variants of each. IDW will eventually own Devil's Due and Image as well.

    • @archangel5627
      @archangel5627 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pax Humana I totally agree with you. I’m sure Marvel/ Disney probably had an opportunity to buy a bunch of comic book and movie rights from companies that did not have ties to Marvel or Disney. Like you I also think that IDW will eventually play a much larger role in comics, film and tv. It really is only a matter of time until they get their hands on Image and their properties. The one company that I really want to see break into the live action film landscape is Valiant Comics. Ever since their relaunch they have consistently come out with awesome characters and storylines in their comic universe. I’m actually very surprised that they haven’t started their own live action Cinematic Universe. They have some of the coolest comic characters and I think they really could give Marvel a run for their money. Valiant needs to be smart unlike DC/Warner Brothers and follow the Marvel formula by hiring people who are extremely passionate about the source material.

    Interesting. As a kid I always thought he was named Zartan because of his light-sensitivity. Too bad the 80s cartoon had him use the same "fake faces" that every other "master of disguise" did, instead of the holographs that Chameleon used in the 90s Spider-man cartoon. But I think Mystique's still my all-time favorite, "super-spy, master of disguise" in fiction.

    I thought in a comic book that Cobra Commander brother killed Snake Eyes family in a drunk driving car accident. Then Cobra kept an eye on him for a while to study. Then later hire Firefly or Zartan to kill him🤔 lol.

    I like the IDW continuity where Zartan gets his powers as a part of a M.A.S.S. Device malfunction that destroys his original body and basically has his mind uploaded into a new host body. Then they discover that the new body is unstable and can shapeshift. Zartan's mental instability here comes from knowing that he died before, and that he is not the 'real' Zartan, but just his memories loaded into an unstable clone.

    There three place in the Bible where the name Zartan is mentioned:
    Joshua 3:16 (KJV) That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
    1 Kings 4:12 (KJV) Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, [even] unto [the place that is] beyond Jokneam:
    1 Kings 7:46 (KJV) In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

      Marvel stopped publishing and it went to IDW which publishes it now. It was discontinued for several years between Marvel and IDW I believe.

    Probably the most complex comic book character ever. Imagine if Zartan was his own solo comic book character like Batman?
