I swear I'm gonna start writing new cards and posting your updated images as soon as I'm back in the states. I just need a better file hosting option than Instagram or Tapatalk...

Why is Scarlett's secondary classified? Is it something truly horrific, like Juggling? Golf? Miming?

You guessed it. Scarlett moonlights as a Mime on street corners for extra money. General Hawk thought it would be bad publicity, so they classified it.

Y’know, a Mime Scarlet figure would be fun just for the sheer novelty of it.

Entirely possible someone during the Fuckin' Weird Years re-did his file card to remove that

Ohhh I don’t think so. Or at least this is the first I’m noticing, and I don’t believe I have missed a single Snake-Eyes file card.

Snake-Eyes is a commando; Scarlett is the intelligence operator. That’s what makes them such a sweet team.

And people *always* underestimate how fucking lethal Scarlett is. She was the most dangerous fighter in the room *before* she started learning Arashikage shit from Snake-Eyes. Given that she comes from a generational family of martial artists, she almost certainly has been training *far* longer than Snake-Eyes, who is clearly a wunderkind fighter but didn’t get “serious” about ninja shit until after his tours with Storm Shadow in that :cough: conflict in a jungle environment at an undetermined time a few years before our story begins.

One of the reasons I wrote her up in the Disavowed cards the way I did was because Scarlett isn't a ninja, she's a 00 agent, basically. They're both deadly but she's the one you send in to FIND THINGS OUT and he's the one you send in to END THE SITUATION ENTIRELY. They're a perfect one-two punch and should be written as such. Snake Eyes does not do intelligence gathering. He's the sword that removes the head. She's the one who figures out what the head was thinking first.

I wanted the Ninja Force version of her in Classified cos I love Scarlett but I hated when they made her "Ninja Force" because sure she's a martial artist, but she's not a ninja.

(Meanwhile I also think Tommy has some justified "WTFery" with Snake Eyes becoming the favorite child with his clan because Storm Shadow is a life-long member of a ninja clan and his army buddy comes along and becomes the favorite like that one in-law your parents like more than you...)

I always figured that she was NF’s “handler”: like Hawk said “OK, Storm Shadow, we can’t like *officially* put you on the team but you can lead an off-the-books ‘force’ of your assassin buddies as a covert strike force, but Snake-Eyes takes point and you all answer to Scarlett, who answers to me”.

I figured she was there to rep the team in some way since in the comics Ninja Force was a little... shady? But I also think it was just a toy company going "put martial arts chick in ninja costume because cool, huhuhuh." I think most headcanons we could come up with would smooth over the weird edges though.
