History and Origin of GI Joe's FLINT!
This is the origin and the history of G.I. Joe's Flint! Learn about his story through Larry Hama's Marvel and IDW run plus some other facts about his life, Sunbow and his action figures.
Editor's Note: I know there is some debate on the actual pronunciation of his first name, I ultimately chose the way that the author he was named after pronounced it

Alright, I guess I have to write a pinned message as I continue to get messages regarding pronunciation of his first name. There is a debate as to the proper spelling online - yes I did research it - and ultimately chose the spelling which matches that of the author he is named after. I know not all will agree but that is what I chose to go with of all the subtle variations

Flint was a good character. He should have been in the first 12. A plank holder. Hes more skilled & realistic than Short Fuse, Grunt.
Always loved this soldier! Duke only tried to flirt with Scarlett or Cover Girl. Flint already had Lady J & Baroness in bed. Wearing only a smile, his beret and a lit cigar! 🇺🇸 *YO, JOE!*

Would love to see Flint in a reboot G.I Joe movie and play a leadership role, this character has so much potential in feature film.
Flint was my first favorite Joe even his voice in TAS fit him perfectly. Good job 🇺🇸💪
Flint was my favorite Gi Joe as a kid.
CWO Flint was always one of my favorite Joe's from back in the 80s. Always thought the black shirt and beret with the ALICE steps looked cool. Hated CPL Flint in the movie.

I think his rank would be CW3 Flint if I recall. 1990s era. Flint the GI Joe & LT "Falcon" looked a lot alike. 🤔. I liked Flint but with Duke, Hawk, Wild Bill it was not like GI Joe lacked leaders or officers.
Flint was definitely one of my favs as a child
Another character screwed up in the live action film portraying him to be young and reckless.

Flint was bad ass!!!
One additional point left out of the note about his daughter is that in the Japanese Transformers continuity Flint also has a granddaughter named Sue Faireborn. It's a thing that kind of seems nuts at first, but then you realize that flint was originally in his late twenties/thirties in the '80s and so it's actually perfectly possible that he could be a grandfather right now, especially when you have a scenario like across the pond where they've been trying to somehow keep everything in the same continuity for 30 years. I don't know though, I think Flint could definitely pull off that whole "cool badass grandpa" look. Side note, but Flint was one of my favorite Joes growing up. Always preferred him to Duke.
A couple points, the Tiger Rat was a repaint of the Cobra Rattler SAM and Surface To Air Missile mean the same thing, and and they wouldn't be mounted under the wings of an aircraft, in fact they're used as defense against aircraft.

Wedge Antilles yes you are absolutely correct, on the repaint and I did misspeak with SAM, hence the “surface” not sure why I said that I meant Air to Air as in the AGM-65, I guess that is my dyslexia coming through 😎

I really like how you're going into the character's non-cannon stories. It's fun to see what others do with the line.
Can you do a video on Beachhead? along w/Flint, Snake & Storm, he's one of my favorites! Also, can you discuss the hierarchy?
Great review! One note: His first name would be pronounced "DA-shill" - emphasis on the "Da", which is pronounced like "dad."
One of my favorite GI Joes
I had flint. But leaving Hawaii.I put him in a hotel Safe. I could not remember the code. I Vow to get him again. Flint!!! Yo JOE!💥😞😁👍🏾
Hands down my favorite Joe!!!!
The only reason Flint did 3 PSA's is because Duke was captured....again!

Always dug flint's style...him an Beach head are probably my favorite leaders in the cartoons ... great video dude.. thanks for to them I've learned so much about so many comic book characters from my childhood..stuff I didn't know and stuff I've long forgotten..
Another great vid! I would love to see the origin and history of Shockwave!

I always saw Command & Conquer through the eyes of a G.I.Joe fan so i love how you used a GDI A-10
Flint was a good character overall, but by the later TV cartoon Joe scenes it was confused to see Flint & Hawks SF half brother: Falcon, a 2LT, commissioned officer. Flints SBS pump shotgun was cool too. 😎
Thanks for another first-rate video!
Very interesting
Being from the UK it was unavoidable that Flint would be one of my favourites during my childhood. The Action Force comics made him the leader of the Joe's European adventures, and he and Lady Jaye got a LOT of story time. I'd say that if you're a fan of the Flint/Jaye relationship then you NEED to own the Action Force weekly and Monthly comics books ... (Even though they do argue a lot!) ... Then the first episode of the cartoon I ever watched was Eau De Cobra ... another story that heavily featured Flint and Jaye. Bill Ratner's voice gave him a warmth that other characters lacked, and there was just something about the character that made him special.
Tomax and Xamont 2 of my favorite Cobra team members, behind Destroy, The Baroness and Hooded Cobra Commander. ( His helmets looked goofy af)
The CH-47 still being used by army And CH-46 Seaknight
Beautiful
Dope.
Could you do a video on Torpedo, Cover Girl, Gung Ho, Shipwreck, Lady Jaye, Airborne, Spirt, Alpine, Ice Berg, Beach Head, Low Light, Leatherneck, Mainfraime WetSuit, Lt. Falcon, Outback, Tunnel Rat, Hard Ball?
Damn you confirmed why I like Flint!
Flint & Jaye 1984 ❤
Best Joe ever
That Transformers connection makes so much sense now. Why else would that random lady show up from Earth Defence Command
If Flint were real, he would never be around. The veterans on here will get that 🤣
You forgot to mention Flint made an appearance in GI Joe Spy Troops and Valor vs. Venom CGI movie and Resolute!

Just an FYI the Tiger Rat was actually a MARS Industries variant of the same platform it sold to Cobra as the Rattler; granted they both were basically an A-10 knockoff that had a tilt-wing VTOL feature the A-10 lacks
Tiger Force was 🔥

Well, many go warrant after obtaining E6. E6 is currently a minimum requirement (which can be waivered) to go to WOCS. I think having that NCO background really is why so many warrant officers are some of my favorite people. So maybe E6 and then warrant on his card are just natural rank progression for him. I've always liked Flint. His style and leadership seemed very positive. As I go about my career I always find myself working well with warrant officers. One of the best people I've ever served with was a warrant officer. Great job on this vid!
