History and Origin of GI Joe's Scarlett!

This is the origin and the history of Shana O'Hara aka Scarlett from the G.I. Joe team! Who is she, where did she come from and why is she so good with that crossbow? It's all here!
#GIJoe #SnakeEyes #Scarlett

[@johannesmakila2459]

To me Scarlett is easily up there with Snake Eyes, Destro, Baroness and Storm Shadow as top characters from G.I. Joe.

[@alanguages]

Main characters yes. I wish some of the more obscure characters would get some exposure time to time.

[@jocelynthom2904]

Agree. She's extremely talented.

[@swordpegasus4032]

I love Scarlett because she's a fierce and a very strong martial artist and an awesome female four girls around the world which is awesome and she's smart and a awesome strategist.

[@dinomonzon7493]

I always considered General Hawk, Stalker, Snake-Eyes, & Ms. Scarlett as the true main GI Joe characters in the comics.

[@archangel5627]

I completely agree. Not only is she one of the most Bad Ass GI Joe characters but at this point she’s just become super iconic.

[@mrf19741]

Had the Honor and Privilege of meeting BJ Ward, the original voice actress of Scarlett. She is a Sweet, Wonderful Lady who Graciously signed my Ninja Force Scarlett action figure at Retro Con.

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

Did you know that actress Helen Hunt is BJ Ward's step daughter? Ward was married to Hunt's father, Gordon Hunt who was a voice director for Hanna Barbera.

[@KingKong-fj4dk]

The way I've always imagined Scarlett's origin is that in boot camp the Army recognizes that Scarlett is incredibly capable and with her beauty, she could be an incredible asset in counter intelligence. Therefore they put her in a unique pipeline of Ranger school, Marine sniper school, covert ops school, and even managed to get her into SAS training.

[@ecnayonnA]

You can normally tell the medium someone watched or read G.I.joe in. Scarlett with Snake-Eyes was comic and Scarlett with Duke was cartoon. I live in Australia, so comic was for me.

[@synisterv7703]

It was Scarlett and Duke on mines but Snake-Eyes is my favorite GI Joe and then StormShadow.

[@JonathanMCook]

Scarlett was the ONE female Joe I wanted in my collection and essentially sealed my "love" for redheads. And even when I had to sell her (along with all my other Joe toys), She was still intact with the crossbow. Apparently the store I sold her too was able to sell her real quick because of that.

[@gott2641]

That's sad that you had to part with them all. I know personally that if I had to part with my entire collection, it would absolutely be the last ditch effort!

[@jonathancook1096]

@@gott2641 It's fine. It's just my parents were getting older and it was either sell my stuff or take it with me to Texas (I'm from Tennessee originally). My Transformers were my primo toy line so I wasn't going to part with it (still have them) and most of my Joes were in loose pieces (the vehicles were all but unsellable). So they had to go.

[@dinomonzon7493]

Lots of pop culture series have a great looking redhead: Scarlett (G. I. Joe) Samantha “Sammie” Simpson (Totally Spies!) Crystal Kane (Centurions) Teela (He-Man) Black Widow (Avengers) Daphne Blake (Scooby-Doo) Jean Grey (X-Men) Janine Melnitz (The Real Ghostbusters)

[@mikewillis9537]

I've always been partial to lady Jay but scarlet was definitely the superior toy

[@dinomonzon7493]

Scarlett is absolutely the Best female Joe in the team. She’s very beautiful, intelligent, can effectively take command of a mission (G. I. Joe #’s 9, 56), can take care of herself, and still remain feminine and, at heart, romantic. She’s also Gen. Hawk’s confidante and aide-de-camp (G. I. Joe #s 3, 22, 26-27, 42) and the highest ranking female Joe (see her profile in G. I. Joe #111 with drop dead gorgeous art by Adam Hughes!) in the team. And she’s well regarded and beloved by the Joes. “If those Cobras did sumpthin’ to Scarlett, they’ve got a world of HURT comin’ to them!” - Flash, G. I. Joe #10. “Scarlett can’t die like this! I won’t let it happen!” - Rock ‘n Roll, G. I. Joe #143 And in the Snake-Eyes Trilogy (G. I. Joe #s 94-96), after being shot in the head by the Baroness, Hawk orders a retaliation on Cobra, with the ironic touch of having Storm Shadow, and Wade Collins backing up Stalker! Plus, her fidelity to Snake-Eyes is beyond reproach. As beautiful as she is, she never acts as a Mata Hari (the Baroness’ department). And if you’ve read David Tumarkin’s letter in G. I. Joe #100, you’ll know fans have come to love her as well. ‘Nuff said! 😀

The original female gi joe, the one who defined girl power, those redheads are on fire, one woman who learned how to deal with the guys and earned their respect, definitely more deadly and sexy in the comics than the animated series although I enjoyed Resolute's version and Renegades and Rachel Nichols' interpretation wasn't that bad let's see Samara Weaving's version what brings to the table, as for uniform Resolute was badass and Renegades was practical.

IDW comics has two different continuities for GI Joe. One written by Larry Hama that continues the classic Marvel run, and another with Chuck Dickson as a frequent writer. In the second run Scarlett has been promoted to captain and is running her own team which is featured in IDW's Special Missions series. In this series she begins a relationship with Mainframe.

Duke is the only and best dude for Scarlet

[@T-800I]

Then you don't under their characters at all... sorry but Scarlett and Duke have nothing in common, they can barely relate to each other, there personalities don't match, and they have no chemistry. These are the most important things on making a couple work and being believable. It was Scarlett who was first attracted to Snake Eyes when G.I. Joe was being formed, her first assignment was to train the new team in hand-to-hand combat. During the exercises, she met Snake Eyes. While she beat most of the team members, she recognized that Snake Eyes was a superior fighter despite the fact that he had allowed her to beat him, allowing her to keep her dignity and respect with the others. Scarlett was intrigued by his actions and wanted to know more about him, and as a result, they became very close. They got to know each other and talked about everything. Scarlett was the first person Snake Eyes ever opened up too. We've seen many times in the comics that there able to relate to each other a lot more. For all her smarts, abilities and beauty, she would need someone that could keep up with her and that's Snake Eyes. Duke is as bland and boring as they come, what would see in him??? Oh and by the way... Duke is already married.

Great roster/bio/videos! You have covered the three out of the four "S"s. Storm Shadow, Snake-Eyes, and Scarlet. Now it's time for Carl Weathers, I mean Stalker. Yeah, he looks just like Carl Weathers, I wonder if he would have been better than Bruce "jerk" Willis in the sequel? Anyway, have you ever thought about this quartet's history? Storm Shadow, a pure samurai/ninja (honor). Stalker a pure soldier/leader (integrity), Scarlet a pure champion/fighter (strength), and Snake-Eyes are all of them combined. But they are all family, more so than any of all the Joes or the Cobras.

I have the first 4 since childhood and the 4 were played with just as much as any male figures since they each brought their own unique "bad-ass-ness" to the table.

[@ChivalrousVeteran]

To anyone interested; some things to think about, concerning the newly introduced 6 inch Hasbro G.I. Joe action figures, specifically: the G.I. Joe "Snake Eyes Origins Movie" ones. Hear me out ... I suddenly had an awesome plotline thought come to me, I began to invent an ongoing story in the original comic story, all because the "Snake Eyes Origins Scarlett" looked more like a much younger Scarlett; no, ... actually, I began to imagine: What if she's really the daughter of Scarlett!?! ... What if, Snake Eyes and Scarlett became a little too personal during their adventures undercover as carnival workers, leading to Scarlett's pregnancy, that brings about the birth of Fiona O'Hara from her mother Shana O'Hara. Since Snake Eyes' Surname is restricted classified intel. The daughter must officially take her mother's maiden name as her last name. Somewhere else, around the world; Anastasia Decobray becomes pregnant by James McCullen Destro during a lull in Cobra activities! But how would the Baroness go through a pregnancy?! I gave it some thought and concluded that the moment she found out, she would go to Dr. Mindbender and demand he destroy it immediately! However, after putting the Baroness to sleep, Dr. Mindbender instead puts her into the Brain Wave Scanner and makes her subservient to carrying and birthing the baby! Because the chance to find out what the offspring of the Baroness and Destro would be is too much for Dr. Mindbender to resist knowing! So, under Dr. Mindbender's scanner's influences Baroness gives birth to a baby girl and names her: Ariyanna Decobray McCullen!! At some mid-point during the lull in the original comic storylines; I imagine myself that Dr. Mindbender creates a "Vitality Serum," secretly in one of his own laboratories. When Cobra and G.I. Joe learn of it; Cobra, G.I. Joe and Destro's legions all descend on the laboratory and fight for the serum - as per usual; a massive explosion happens, and the serum is splashed onto all of them!! They then come to realize that, in fact, the serum has two major effects: it disables the aging process entirely and gives all of those affected by it the vitality of twenty-year-olds! This causes the most bizarre situation ever, where all of those present that day will be able to live and fight indefinitely; without ever aging at all, having the vitality of twenty-year-olds!! Long Live G.I. Joe - forever!!!! My imagination sees toys as "props" to work with; so that is why I am sharing all of this. We can take this wonderful opportunity to make our own stories now!!! What if; Baroness and Destro had a daughter?! What if; Snake Eyes and Scarlett had a daughter?! What if; the shorter and younger action figures, are not small odd versions - but the children of the larger sized figures!?! Where can you go with that kind of initiative for the imagination!?! I'm already putting my own story together; deeply involving the extreme difficulty of a father trying to be there for his daughter; but not being able to communicate with her at all!! What is it like to be a parent of a child you love with all your heart and soul; but, you can't speak to her at all?! How does Scarlett slow down and mother a child, when she's so adrenaline fueled and nonstop on the move usually?! How does it affect Scarlett, with her "Type A" personality, to have to be a mother?! If you're wondering about the Baroness ... she mostly just "dumps" her kid off on Crimson Guard Elite Deming to care for her; and that plays heavily into my imaginative storyline, as I pursue the thoughts about a child being without motherly love and care; growing up in the harsh and hateful Cobra organization. Ariyanna is the imaginative exploration into a Girl raised without any emotional support and no emotional development! She has no morals at all. She has no ethics at all. She has no compassion, no pity, no remorse, no care, no heart at all! In my imagination; I have Scarlett meeting her on the battlefield, when Ariyanna takes a squad of BATs to gather intel and recon the enemy. Upon knocking the short swords from her hands and pinning her down with a Katana sword to the throat; suddenly, Scarlett realizes that this "combatant" looks eerily similar to Baroness, as if a smaller sized, less skilled Baroness! No, no, no; couldn't be!! She questions the child with her blade mere inches from her skin ... at first she laughs at her. Then, she hears the child mutter to herself; "Just as mother said, I'm good for nothing, useless, worthless; I'll never be as great as her, never! Why do I even go on this miserable?!" All at once, Scarlett's motherly instincts kick-in, and she looks down at the child and says, "Hey, kiddo; you're just a child, you should know you can't beat a battle-tested veteran of an endless war! Your mother should know better than to send you out here! Well, she would, if she had a soul at all!" Well, after some other dialogue, Scarlett realizes that Ariyanna literally has no concept of human emotions, and the more she begins to care about Ariyanna; the more it confuses the poor child! It's almost as if Ariyanna is more robot than the BATs Scarlett just smashed!! This is very very odd for a female child, the child is indeed most unusual. Just then Snake Eyes comes from the shadows and he grabs up Ariyanna; he dusts her off, then he simply gently rubs her shoulders, an unusually kind gesture for combatants - especially from Snake Eyes! Snake Eyes texts Scarlett, and she reads the text to Ariyanna : "Ariyanna, one parent's sin should not be the sins of the children. You have to choose your own path for yourself. I won't tell you what you should choose. There is little difference between G.I. Joe and Cobra. Both are responsible for horrible atrocities covered-up around the world. Both are heavily involved with very very dangerous and reckless scientific experimentations. There's just one difference Ariyanna; Cobra fights to oppress and enslave humanity and G.I. Joe fights to liberate and free humanity. The only reason that me and Scarlett still fight on G.I. Joe after all we have been through; is for that very reason. We fight the oppression and enslavement of humanity by Cobra forces. So you have to decide. Are you for human rights or against them. Then you choose for yourself: Cobra or G.I. Joe. But, if you fight against me or Scarlett; we will humiliate you every time by disarming you and pinning you down on your back. Because we refuse to kill you. You're not ready for this level of combat. Take my advice; and seek out a trainer, so you don't get murdered out here. Find Storm Shadow and tell him that Snake Eyes sent you; he will already know that you are Baroness' daughter, just from seeing you. Find Storm Shadow Ariyanna, become an apprentice of him; learn from him, or, I fear that you may end up in a pool of your own blood. I've been through a lot and I realize that a child should not be judged for their parent's mistakes or evils. You are not evil. You are just a child. You have time to make your own choices and decide for yourself. Storm Shadow will protect you. " Now that I have a nearly complete collection; I have it to where in the days to come Ariyanna and Fiona will meet, and they will not get along at all!! This will cause Fiona's parents great internal conflict! How can they preserve both children with them battling each other whenever everyone else is busy in the larger war?! Hmmm ... ! I will not tell anyone the "call signs - code names" I invent for Ariyanna and Fiona; just in case I may ever decide to actually type out a book and see if Hasbro will publish it! So their awesome code names will remain with me, just in case. Because coming up with one-off, not already used, cool action figure names is quite challenging to do! That is why I referred to the "children" in this without any code names. I literally have no idea why the Cobra "Baroness" is named after a Russian Grand Duchess; Anastasia, and that is why I chose to use the spelling of Ariyanna for her daughter. That is rather odd they used such a culturally popular name, especially after the Disney cartoon story; now almost everyone knows the story of Anastasia! Oh well, what else can be said, but: lol. I mean, Scarlett is named after the character from "Gone With The Wind," so there is that! I simply laugh that the name of Duchess was given to a Baroness, lol, ... and why after all the years has the "Baroness" never moved up in nobility?! ... hehehe! Hmmm.

[@ChivalrousVeteran]

I posted this comment here to remind the readers, not to get caught up into silly arguments and 'controversies' involving toys - but to appreciate the opportunities given, to pick them up, and embrace them; and see where the imagination will go with them! I bought two of the first waves repainted figures; because, underneath all that new rubber tech are figures that look just like what the original characters might look like as actual people! They're not exactly identical to the originals; because, these new 6in. figures are more like actual people as the characters! Removing all the extra rubber reveals a black collard shirt Flint, just like the original! And, don't "knock" Lady Jaye's version one 6in, figure; because she looks exactly how a professional US Army Ranger Female Soldier should look for real! It is against US Military Regs for female soldiers to have makeup on in uniform; they also must have either very short hair or hair that is pulled back into a tight bun or tucked up into uniform headgear. The one exception might be lipstick, depending locational command regs enforced per base. Lady Jaye looks like an outstanding professional US Army Ranger! They look so much like people and not toys at all; that you can really let your imagination flow, and see where it goes: with live-action "story play!" That's all I'm trying to say. Enjoy what we've been given! Avoid the "grumpies" and just have Fun! Okay.

I just made all this up at 3am, looked back and noticed some obvious typos, hmmm; should I fix it, or just let it stand ... not sure if I want it to say "Edited" with no one knowing what was edited. I didn't miss much though; just some "Auto-corrects" changing names, like Decobray grrrr: it's supposed to be DeCobray obviously! The only thing I noticed i left out was simply; that, the "Vitality Serum" infects DNA and stops the growth and aging process of the infected DNA. Meaning that the age of infected specimens remains intact indefinitely! So, in my own imagination; most of the G. I. * Joe team are permanently in their mid-thirties give or take some years between them all. Yet, they have the vitality of twenty-year-olds! That was specifically what I meant in my post. But anyways, it's all just a fascinating idea for how to actually have some Fun with these new action figure Toys! You "play" video games right?! So, what's wrong with "playing" with action figures?! You get much less eye strain from them! Anyone with an imagination like me, can have lots of fun with them! Currently there are a lot of them for really good prices on the Amazon website; check every day for the lowest prices! I've collected two sets myself: one to stand on display and the others to story-play with! My first novel was written in pen on yellow notepads when I was ten years old; using the original G.I. Joes and Cobra figures! I made a science-fiction drama and a police drama out of them! I even renamed all of them and had to make file cards to keep track of who was who, haha! One G.I. Joe would sometimes "play" four or five characters for my many story-plays! By age thirteen I was an actual novelist, thanks to all my G.I. Joe "props!" : - ) - just remember: actual writing goes through a collection of edits and revisions; and my social comments are more like first drafts at best! I just wanted to share some creative inspirations, that's all.

Scarlet was always my favorite. I never liked Lady Jaye as much...
