@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal, Great vid! I have my top 5 as Scarlett, Lady-Jaye, Helix, Jinx, Cover-Girl. As far as who should be made... I say Pythona! I know, I know, she's Cobra... but I can't wait for Classifieds Pythona. But, I'd say BombStrike aka Bombshell for the Joe's.
Lady Jaye (Sunbow version) is my favorite of the Joe ladies, though I'd say Scarlett would objectively be #1 in importance and character development (certainly based on the comic). Something about Lady Jaye though...that husky voice, the attitude, the rough n' tumble look. When I think of what a female GI Joe would look like and act like, I think of Lady Jaye.
Although I would concur that “Agent” Helix has an incredible look and code name…I don’t feel she belongs in the Joe’ Verse; at least not as a regular. Her abilities stray too far into the super-hero/ super soldier realm and she is essentially Batgirl/ Black Bat/Orphan - Cassandra Cain.
I can't argue with Scarlett as #1. She deserves to be listed as the main female character in G.I. Joe. However, my personal favorite was Lady Jaye (specifically from the cartoon). I just found her so attractive and sexy. She was a lady, but also a tomboy and her voice was perfect for the character. I also liked Jinx. She was probably the last figure I bought from the original 3 and 3/4 line. I remember really liking the card graphic and figure. Didn't know much about her as I was starting to move away from G.I. Joe into other interest at that time. Thanks for the video.
yeah, I feel like my top four are kinda neck-and-neck, with Scarlett at the top. But I love Jinx, Helix & Lady Jaye. They were ass-kicking women before ass-kicking women became a mocie cliche
I like Dialtone she is the sister of the orignal, I prefer bombshell too, she is the sister of Barrelroll and Blackout, I thought was another character name Mayday too, during devil due era
I was PR in the USMC and 'I don't believe in guns' would have gotten me beaten into a pulp. If you don't believe in guns (more accurately, 'I don't believe in USING guns') try not joining the military.
Honestly, as much as I respect Doss for who he was and what he did, it occurs to me that King David (literally 'a man after God's own heart') took up arms.
I agree with your rankings for the most part but I was fond of Dialtone II from watching Resolute and from finding that she was not a replacement for Jack Morelli but his younger sister. That said, a new codename would have helped her. 'Hotline' for example
Great video! You managed to deep dive into the comics and find some really obscure characters! There were 2 other obscure characters, from the toy line, that didn’t get mentioned. Canary Ann was a Lady Jaye repaint, in yellow and red, and was a Funskool Joe exclusive. Also, Atena was another S. American repaint of Scarlett. She had a white leotard, instead of the tan one, that Scarlett wore. Atena was part of the Comandos Em Acao line.
I'm actually quite surprised we didn't get a Canary Ann repaint in classified. But then I guess they over produced two relatively same looking version of Jaye which probably led to lower sells and less interest in the mold. (she is my personal favorite female joe. her and Marissa Fairborne (jaye and flints canonical daughter in transformers))
@@Lazrael32 I wouldn’t mind seeing a Canary Ann in Classified, but you’re right. It’ll probably be awhile, before Hasbro would want to reuse that mold.
Okay, yeah not just Flint's illigitimate kid. She has a really big history with many different versions, a fascinating character. I'd love to see @JLSComics do a video on her.
Even from the very beginning of the Sunbow era, Scarlett was portrayed as tough and highly capable-in the very first scene of the first episode of ARAH, we found out the hot-shot pilot of the Skystriker is Scarlett.
Dial-Tone wasnt supposed to be your basic gender swap. shes the sister of the OG who went missing during a Mission in Brazil and she took over his name. She joined mainly to look for her brother. And Doc, she is the niece of the OG that was KIA..I'm ok with these two. Salvo was just plain pandering
Yeah, there are so many damn characters, you can really just avoid them. There are hundreds of characters who never get used, For example: Mercer barely is used in the comics and he is one of the cooler ideas for a character
Scarlett definitely deserves the #1 slot on this list! Larry Hama presented her as capable yet still very feminine. After Scarlett, my fave female Joes are- Jinx, Agent Helix (the closest Hasbro came to having a female Joe as Scarlett's equal in terms of ability), and G. I. Jane, who doesn't lack for looks (lets see if Lady J can get away with sporting a short skirt (G. I. Joe #127)) and smarts. Never cared much for Lady Jaye; she's arrogant, bossy, egotistical and vain, not caring to respect her betters as seen in G. I. Joe #s 32, 34 (last page, last panel), and DDP's G. I. Joe #42 (Philip Rey is a 3 star General; she's just a Corporal). Plus, she's a tomboy and a plainjane.
My favorite women from the Joe team are Shooter, Stilleto, Lady Jaye, Freestyle, Bombstrike, & Cover Girl Other favorites are Lt. Daina, Sparta, & Quarrel
well... honestly..my top five would be 1. Scarlet of course. 2. Lady Jaye, 3. Jinx 4. Covergirl because of what Devil's Due Comics did with her. I loved her with Shipwreck in that series. I even loved her team-ups with Shipwreck in the cartoon.5. Now Helix (cause yes I love the character.) Some will say Oh no she is woke.) pffft no she isn't. Stop that.) But I like her. I don't see the issue with her. She is completely original. He has an amazing look. I do enjoy it when she shows up in comics. I did read her solo story with the child trafficker. And she was just badass. I get why some would have her as number two. But I can't put her above Jaye, Covergirl, or Jinx. There is just too much love and history there. As far as Scarlet goes...I could do a whole video on her if I wanted. There are so many things I love about her. Too many to say. I will say this. Staying with someone you love even when his face is disfigured says a lot about her character. but that's just one of many many things. Actually she is in my top ten favorite Joes of all time as well.
Yeah, that's why I love the Snake Eyes/ Scarlett dynamic rather than Duke/ Scarlett. It is so much more interesting that she is with this guy who basically has no face
I only have 3 women of GI Joe so far. I have Lady Jaye, Agent Helix and Zarana. They are all good but I love Zarana and Helix. Those mantis blades Helix has are awesome
It might be more likely that Hasbro couldn't trademark the 'Bombshell' name at the time, as the Insecticon Bombshell has gone under other names thanks to trademarking issues in the past.
Lady Jaye is my favorite Joe and Baroness my favorite Cobra. Never heard of Salvo until today. I think she's supposed to be Samoan, so she wouldn't be skinny.
Honestly this is a nice list, i did find it helpful to know about who's who in the series, what is their relevance and so on, especially since I'm still a newbie in knowing this series and the classified line is what got me to love it more, even literally taking the "knowing is half the battle" seriously but awesome at the same time 😂. Some lf these characters i had no idea that these may be as awesome than i expected such as Helix or G.I. Jane, meanwhile there are some others that i did recognize in some sense like Lady Jaye and Cover girl, funny enough i was expecting Lady Jaye to be number one since most of the people i come across actually love her a lot more than Scarlett 😂 but for me that would be Scarlett, aside from liking redheads, i like her character, her relationship with Snake-Eyes and overall she is iconic. I don't necessarily have a top 5 to mention, but i can say that my second favorite is one who i didn't know at first until i studied her character thanks to the internet, being Jodie "Shooter" Craig and honestly it still pains me to know she didn't last long for the entirety of her existence, she seemed like the kind of character I'd be into so badly (even it's sad that i never got the figure unfortunately), but luckily there is always the magic of imagination where she survived and she'd be part of my own Joe team/story.
Again great vid and again 70% of the characters i didn't know they existed... the gender swap is horrible!!!! they cant spend 5min to think of a new name and background for a character!?... Smoke Jumper, she's an elite sky diver trained by Ace... there that took me 2min, its not that hard!.... what happened to Gung Ho's hat? did you loose it?
Two swaps that I don't really mind are Doc, and Dial Tone. When I saw they swapped Dial Tone in Resolute, at first I was kind of shocked, then kind of shrugged. I mean, it's Dial Tone. The Salvo swap, now that's just bizarre, and really pushing it.
I assumed Stanley was named for Henry Morton Stanley, the journalist who tracked down the vanished missionary David Livingstone, producing the famous greeting "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
It's funny, I think I may be one of the only ones (from the USA anyway) that was excited to see Classified Glenda. I got the pilot Scarlett figure in the 25th line thinking the blue, white and silver paint was a really cool variant not realizing it was a reference to Glenda (a figure I had never heard of). When they came out with the Shooter Classified figure, I thought it was a gender swap for Fumbles/Trouser Snake from the Robot Chicken episode. As for Helix, I got the Rise of Cobra figure thinking it was maybe some concept art they made for a movie Scarlett but didn't use it so they made a new character from it. Needless to say I was excited to see the Classified Helix. And I'm with you on Jinx though - I don't preorder many of the Classified figures but I made sure to preorder her. As for my top favorite, Scarlett was one of my first crushes as a kid - please note Cheetara was as well so maybe it's more about the one piece leotard? Now as an adult though, Lady Jay's voice from the original cartoon is something else LOL. Love the list, can't wait for the Cobra one.
I never knew how woke GI Joe has become within the first 10 min of this video... Remember your favorite joe you played with as a kid,, yeah he's a she now. There are only 2 best female GI Joe characters when I was a kid, Lady Jaye was bangin Flint, and Baroness was bangin Destro. thats it,,, some would say Scarlet was bangin Duke but I was to young to notice.
great video. love the channel. this was brutal. so many lame characters. and people can give salvo crap all day which she deserves. but at least shes not a snake eyes rip off
Scarlet or Lady J are top 2. Jinx and Cover Girl just didn't show up enough but they were cool characters. I'd say those are easily 3 & 4. After that.... I have no opinion.
I always thought there was a female Joe codename "Dallas". Because in the episode "Lasers In The Night" the Baroness undercover as Lady Jay called one of the females she interacted with "Dallas", but I guess that was just a regular soldier. And by the way my #1 is Lady Jaye.
Major respect for putting Helix that high. I was drawn to her because of the ASD aspect but she's also a really cool character. Good to see her recognized.
Bomb Strike figure came out during the doc series the one I remember. Bomb Strike, Silo, Capt Gridiron they need to put in classified also gotta to admit I I like red heads the the more the better Mayday and Sparta yes please in classified. And I thought dial tone female version was the daughter of the original dial tone
I really Dislike Lady Jaye. she comes off as a Scarlett clone. hawt woman with a medieval type weapon. Scarlett did it first, Lady Jaye did it second and I do know this, it is not who did it first, its who does it best. Scarlett does it best. Fine if you like her, face it I like Cover Girl too and I even think she is rather useless when she came out originally and all she had going for her was the .. tracked vehicle with short range missiles and the fact she is a model thus make up.
I have all the Released Female Joe's so far in Figures. I even made a couple of Customs. Two half sisters Rush (Amanda the American) and Roulette (Anya the Ukrainian). They have different skill sets. Rush is like a female Rambo, street fighter etc. Roulette is more like a Bond, gambling, infiltration etc.
I got introduced to Agent Helix in the final issues of the IDW comics continuity. I think shes a soild unique character. Shes has a epic final battle fighting next to Snake Eyes which is a interesting transition of eras.
Dial tone is such a dated name 😂 I can't remember the last time I heard a dal tone. the big backpack is basically a cell phone. He probably died of cancer, everywhere in his torso.
Glad you’re back brother. Been Jonesing for a list. Great video. LOVE where you put Agent Helix. I’m completely fascinated with her. Just an amazing job they did building that character. Big fan of the Shooter figure in classified but hard to place her much higher w/o the lore. Lady Jaye, Covergirl & Jinx are all kind of interchangeable to me so I wouldn’t quibble with anyone on how they are listed so long as they all are right there together. I MIGHT have bumped LJ to the top of that group just based on her fight with Zarana in the comics, though I generally prefer the Sunbow version due to her voice there. Anyway, great list and looking forward to the Cobra version too.
So which ones from this list should they make as a GI Joe Classified?
@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal, Great vid! I have my top 5 as Scarlett, Lady-Jaye, Helix, Jinx, Cover-Girl.
As far as who should be made... I say Pythona! I know, I know, she's Cobra... but I can't wait for Classifieds Pythona. But, I'd say BombStrike aka Bombshell for the Joe's.
I'm just starting the video, but all of them
1. Scarlett 2. Agent Helix 3. Lady Jaye 4. Cover Girl 5. Jinx.
Love your videos keep them up.
Yo Joe!!!
Scarlett, Agent Helix, and G. I. Jane.
Of the ones not yet done in Classified: Bombstrike, Daina and Sherlock. Sparta is an obvious one coming.
Lady Jaye (Sunbow version) is my favorite of the Joe ladies, though I'd say Scarlett would objectively be #1 in importance and character development (certainly based on the comic). Something about Lady Jaye though...that husky voice, the attitude, the rough n' tumble look. When I think of what a female GI Joe would look like and act like, I think of Lady Jaye.
Oh yeah, the husky voice was hot.
*Flint wants to know your location.*
@@ScottBoydathome And we know Flint's location...he's in Michigan! Okay, okay, I'll see myself out.
Love Love Love Scarlet, Cover Girl, jinx and Lady J - the Javelins doesn't make any sense BUT so satisfying. We ALL Bow to The Baroness.
I can't believe they did my boy Salvo like that.
Right? I loved Salvo, He had the most batshit-insane weapon loadout.
Dude, seriously! I didn't even know this happened until this video!:( Poor Salvo.
Although I would concur that “Agent” Helix has an incredible look and code name…I don’t feel she belongs in the Joe’ Verse; at least not as a regular.
Her abilities stray too far into the super-hero/ super soldier realm and she is essentially Batgirl/ Black Bat/Orphan - Cassandra Cain.

12:15.. most likely didn't use the "Bomshell" name because the Transformers already use it for one of the insecticons
Did Lady Jaye wrong bro. For me, she's up there neck and neck with Scarlett. But really cool list otherwise.
Yeah, I can see that. I know putting Helix second is a hot take
Scarletts relationship with Snake Eyes and Stalker made her even more bad ass.
Scarlett with Stalker? I thought Scarlett had a relationship with Duke & Snake Eyes?
Stalker was best man at their wedding, where Snake Eyes left Scarlett at the altar (kinda lame) so I guess they are best friends?
@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal oh ok. I don't have that issue then
I've always wanted her with Duke.
I never thought of it, until now, but the original toy of Cover Girl kinda looks like Lois, from Family Guy. lol
Yes, she does, But with a hangover
Cover girl was the only female gijoe driver she came with the wolverine missle tank! That's pretty cool!
LOL!
I was PR in the USMC and 'I don't believe in guns' would have gotten me beaten into a pulp. If you don't believe in guns (more accurately, 'I don't believe in USING guns') try not joining the military.
Yeah, it's a weird choice. It's like saying "I don't believe in eating meat" and then going to work for a factory farm
Desmond Doss
Honestly, as much as I respect Doss for who he was and what he did, it occurs to me that King David (literally 'a man after God's own heart') took up arms.
Awesome content as always!!! Ty for helping me forget about my hangover for a little bit😂
Happy to help!
I agree with your rankings for the most part but I was fond of Dialtone II from watching Resolute and from finding that she was not a replacement for Jack Morelli but his younger sister. That said, a new codename would have helped her. 'Hotline' for example
Agreed, Dial-Tone was pretty cool. “Hotline” might’ve been a good code😮
Agreed, Dial-Tone was pretty cool. “Hotline” might’ve been a good code name, though.
Haha! Hotline is awesome. You know if it was the 80s that totally would have been her name

After looking at various names, I thought "Ringback" could work. (It's an old Telecom tern.)

Just ignore me going right to Amazon and buying the Lady Snakeeyes statue. LOL
Yes, she's rather perky
Marissa Fairborne is also in some continuities is the daughter of Flint and Lady Jaye
Okay, yeah not just Flint's illigitimate kid. She has a really big history with many different versions, a fascinating character. I'd love to see @JLSComics do a video on her.
The only difference for me is I prefer the Scarlet and Duke romance from the cartoon.
Blasphemy!
Same
Sherlock sounds exactly the same as Misty Knight - investigator, robot arm
That's what I thought.

great video, I have been looking for something like that for my custom Classifieds, I think we always need more female Joes and Cobras
I feel like Sherlock would be better if she just had a normal/realistic prosthetic arm
Seems like Sherlock might have Misty Knight from Marvel as an influence
@@ericausting7026 yeah
My favorite women from the Joe team are Shooter, Stilleto, Lady Jaye, Freestyle, Bombstrike, & Cover Girl
Other favorites are Lt. Daina, Sparta, & Quarrel
Quarrel has a great color scheme look.
Great show man, look forward to the next.
Thanks!
Awesome video. Gotta say Helix is a rocking character. Top 5 for sure.
Yes. love Helix. I really think she could take off
Can't believe how shit the art is from these IDW comics!
Some of the IDW cobra series has some really nice art
#1. Tight Ship from Community
I co-sign this as number 1. Hahahaha
Well, if you’re going to count Tight Ship, then you have to count Three Kids as well!
i remember two big reasons to put her on the list.
Maybe Stanley was a surname, like O'Hara or Kreiger?
Bomb strike is a better name. Bombshell sounds too much like a transformer.
Scarlet is bad ass so she’s always gna be my classic first but Doc’s niece is my personal favorite
Yeah, Lady Doc is pretty good.
@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal Straight arm Scarlett, Stalker n Grunt were my first Joes. So Scarlett and her red beaufont will always have that place lol

Quick Kick has that GF but she did go on a mission and was pretty badass too.
Okay, I tried to keep it to operators because if I included girlfriends it would go on forever, but I suppose if they kick ass, they could be included
Stanley was 100% named in tribute of marvel comics Stan Lee
I only have 3 women of GI Joe so far. I have Lady Jaye, Agent Helix and Zarana. They are all good but I love Zarana and Helix. Those mantis blades Helix has are awesome

Thanks!
12:06 - She was also probably given the name Bombstrike to not conflict with Bombshell in Transformers, one of the three Insecticons.
It might be more likely that Hasbro couldn't trademark the 'Bombshell' name at the time, as the Insecticon Bombshell has gone under other names thanks to trademarking issues in the past.
33:50 What is the name of this game?
Lady Jaye will always be #1❤
Sunbow's Lady Jay ftw!
Agent Helix was a late edition with lazy writing for her skills IMHO. Good look, though!
Lady Jaye is my favorite Joe and Baroness my favorite Cobra. Never heard of Salvo until today. I think she's supposed to be Samoan, so she wouldn't be skinny.
Yeah, I'm good with a Samoan lady, and her being big and buff. I just don't like the gender swap. Justa. come up with a new character
@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal I agree with you on that.

Nice. We should keep this going
Everyone seems to forget that Doc was a pacifist well before Lifeline ever showed up.
Lady Jaye should be #2, no question.
Lady Jaye is my personal #1, but yeah, being objective, I'd probably put Scarlett #1, and then Lady Jaye or maybe Jinx at #2.
IDW created the absolute worst characters. No wonder they lost all the Hasbro licenses.
True.
Her *codename* is Glenda?
Right? How is that a codename?
@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal is it a reference to something? Is there a famous Argentinian pilot named Glenda?
I took a look at Sherlock and she looked like a figure of Jeena Maslo from the original A.D. Police Files anime
I assumed Stanley was named for Henry Morton Stanley, the journalist who tracked down the vanished missionary David Livingstone, producing the famous greeting "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
Waiting for a female designated "Tunnel Rat". No female "Seals":yet...or "Vipers" or "Crimson Guard". As long as they make it make sense.

There are only 2 best female GI Joe characters when I was a kid, Lady Jaye was bangin Flint, and Baroness was bangin Destro. thats it,,, some would say Scarlet was bangin Duke but I was to young to notice.
Agreeing that Hashtag proved incredibly unready for being a GI Joe front liner.
PR types of that combatants absolutely shouldn't be combatants!
Sitterson was the absolute worst thing to happen to GI JOE at IDW. Also..."the female "Dial Tone" from GI JOE:RESOLUTE was bad ass.
great video. love the channel. this was brutal. so many lame characters. and people can give salvo crap all day which she deserves. but at least shes not a snake eyes rip off
True, although I think the male snake Eyes rip off is even shittier. At least Dawn Moreno makes a good cosplay
Scarlet or Lady J are top 2. Jinx and Cover Girl just didn't show up enough but they were cool characters. I'd say those are easily 3 & 4. After that.... I have no opinion.
A classified figure of BombStrike aka Bombshell would be cool. What is your opinion of the pictures of the upcoming Alpine Classified figure?
Lady Jaye from the original 1983-1986 G.I. Joe cartoon was always my favorite female G.I. Joe soldier.
I always thought there was a female Joe codename "Dallas". Because in the episode "Lasers In The Night" the Baroness undercover as Lady Jay called one of the females she interacted with "Dallas", but I guess that was just a regular soldier.
And by the way my #1 is Lady Jaye.
Top picks for Classified would Blackhat, Bombstrike, Pale Peony, Daina, and Stiletto.
Major respect for putting Helix that high. I was drawn to her because of the ASD aspect but she's also a really cool character. Good to see her recognized.
Bomb Strike figure came out during the doc series the one I remember. Bomb Strike, Silo, Capt Gridiron they need to put in classified also gotta to admit I I like red heads the the more the better Mayday and Sparta yes please in classified. And I thought dial tone female version was the daughter of the original dial tone
I really Dislike Lady Jaye. she comes off as a Scarlett clone. hawt woman with a medieval type weapon. Scarlett did it first, Lady Jaye did it second and I do know this, it is not who did it first, its who does it best. Scarlett does it best. Fine if you like her, face it I like Cover Girl too and I even think she is rather useless when she came out originally and all she had going for her was the .. tracked vehicle with short range missiles and the fact she is a model thus make up.
Cover Girl is my top Joe, not just female.
You didn’t list Volga, which is actually a different character than Daina.
I Love the original trilogy of G.i.Joe Ladies. All of'em top 5 for me. However, Baroness is my #1! Baroness rules above'em all! 😁
Aubrey Sitterson got fired for this reason. He hates America but loves wrestling. Where he has found success. Hope he stays there.
I have all the Released Female Joe's so far in Figures. I even made a couple of Customs. Two half sisters Rush (Amanda the American) and Roulette (Anya the Ukrainian). They have different skill sets. Rush is like a female Rambo, street fighter etc. Roulette is more like a Bond, gambling, infiltration etc.
I got introduced to Agent Helix in the final issues of the IDW comics continuity. I think shes a soild unique character. Shes has a epic final battle fighting next to Snake Eyes which is a interesting transition of eras.
Dial tone is such a dated name 😂 I can't remember the last time I heard a dal tone. the big backpack is basically a cell phone. He probably died of cancer, everywhere in his torso.
Snake Eyes's predecessor would be Jinx. Seeing, hearing and speaking from training in "the dark".
So a black chick with a bionic arm, that sounds suspiciously like Marvel’s Misty Knight.
Bombstrike leapt up several spaces on my list by merit of somehow surviving getting shot in the head in the Hama book.
Glad you’re back brother. Been Jonesing for a list. Great video.
LOVE where you put Agent Helix. I’m completely fascinated with her. Just an amazing job they did building that character.
Big fan of the Shooter figure in classified but hard to place her much higher w/o the lore.
Lady Jaye, Covergirl & Jinx are all kind of interchangeable to me so I wouldn’t quibble with anyone on how they are listed so long as they all are right there together. I MIGHT have bumped LJ to the top of that group just based on her fight with Zarana in the comics, though I generally prefer the Sunbow version due to her voice there.
Anyway, great list and looking forward to the Cobra version too.
Thanks!
I don't consider any character to be a real GI Joe until they have a figure made.
Fantastic list. Scarlett is my number 1 but i feel like Lady Jaye could be number 1 and Scarlett 2 in general.
Hash Tag, is that a real thing?
Hashtag is real. Unfortunately
You are right that a lot of females like this stuff, because I Am one, and I have loved this stuff since the 80s
Scarlett had always been number 1. Totally awesome. Lady J is a Good 2nd.
Great video loved your opinions but you forgot to mention the love story between Scarlett and Duke
I made the female Dial-Tone into Dial-Tone's younger sister and renamed her Ring Tone
The best version of cover girl is the 4 in long hair red head but I actually like the classified version to
What's wrong with Ice Cream Soldier? Other than his codename he was awesome
Scarlett is my favorite JOE. Baroness is still the best female character.
I enjoyed the list. Will there be a list for the Cobra ladies?
Yes, almost done with it
1 baroness
2 Lj
3 scarlet
4 cover girl (personal fav)
Stanley is my first name so yeah everyone I have ever met don't use that name funny my mom never calls me by Stanley
Now if only Honda Lou West could return in some capacity.
Better watch out, Will Smith is gonna come slap you!😂
The cartoon made Lady j . They really fresh her out. And that why she so loved my the fans
