G.I. Joe: Sigma Six

What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Emily Ashby

G.I. JOE: SIGMA SIX continues the militaristic theme and many of the characters originally introduced in Hasbro's 1980s toy line "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero." Although the Sigma 6 team members' appearances and high-tech arsenal have received an update for the 21st century, the mission of the covert operatives remains the same as it always has: Save the world from the ruthless Cobra organization. Sigma 6 members, whose unit code name refers to the state-of-the-art sigma suits they wear for protection from laser shots, were chosen for their unique abilities in martial arts, marksmanship, weapons, and intelligence. Under the strong leadership of Duke (voiced by Frank Frankson) and second-in-command Scarlett (Veronica Taylor), the operatives struggle to stay one step ahead of the Cobra Commander (Marc Thompson) and his army.

Is It Any Good?

While mostly predictable in plot, the series does make attempts to work in some good lessons. One episode features a mission that pairs an unlikely duo: cool-headed Scarlett and impulsive Tunnel Rat (Pete Zarustica). When asked why he partnered these particular operatives, Duke responds that "their working methods will complement each other." In the end, the lessons learned are two-fold; Scarlett learns to place more trust in Tunnel Rat, which then increases his self-confidence.
