Snake Eyes

The IDW incarnation of Snake Eyes is the silent, black-clad commando operative of G.I. Joe, a master of ninjutsu and close-quarters combat whose true identity remains unknown, serving as one of the team's most formidable and enigmatic soldiers.

Few characters carry a name with as much weight in comics culture as Snake Eyes, and this IDW incarnation — debuting in G.I. Joe: Origins #11 in 2010 under the creative hands of J. T. Krul and Klaus Scherwinski — brings that legacy into the Modern Age with a lean, focused presence across a dozen years of IDW's Joe universe. Turning up most prominently in G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes, G.I. Joe: Origins, and G.I. Joe: Cobra, this version keeps compelling company — sharing pages with Scarlett, Helix, Alpine, and others who populate IDW's richly layered take on the franchise. With 16 catalogued appearances spanning 2010 to 2022, it's a concentrated but meaningful footprint for fans who want to trace exactly how IDW shaped this iconic figure on their own terms. If you're building out a serious IDW Joe collection, this is a thread absolutely worth pulling.
