Another favorite swordsman of mine, Solomon Kane, the "dour Puritan". A Robert E. Howard creation, along with Conan, Kull and Bran Mak Morn.
Marvel adapted him for a comic book mini series, and he was often featured in the large black and white Conan Magazines during the 70's. The books are also great, and any pulp fan should pick them up.
He lived and adventured mostly in the late 1600's and early 1700's. He fought evil abroad, as it was his calling from God. As he is written, he is probably the best swordsman with a rapier of his day. In one memorable fight, he faces off with a man in impenetrable chain mail armor. Thinking he has Kane on the ropes, the man is sorely dissapointed, when with a perfect lightening fast strike, Solomon thrusts his blade tip through the man's eyesocket and into his brain. Don't mess with Kane, he'll seriously **** you up.
yah stormshadow is cool. i like him more than snake eyes, coz he's more ruthless. i believe he turned to becom a gi joe later on though. conan rocks... he was the one and only sword brawler. connor mcleod counts too. darthmaul is probably my favorite... awesome fighter. kenshin himura and shishio are good. shatterstar is great. but the one that tops them all is master YODA!!!!
I'm going with the opposite of Leo, the Shredder.
I read the Gi Joe vs Transformers comic. IIRC that was just the cover. Stormshadow was killed by Prime actually once he murdered one of the Autobots while trying to protect Cobra Commander.
Snake's quote was, I think "I'm going to need a new ninja". Funny stuff.

i think Blade, SnakeEyes, Stormshadow, and Shatterstar are the coolest, but could somebody tell me about War Hulk, i have only heard OF him before.
As a test for some new Celestial technology Apocalypse grafted several implants into Hulk, transforming him into his Horseman, War. War then proceeded to wail on Absorbing Man, Juggernaut, and Rick Jones.
Stormshadow (in a battlesuit) killed Trailbreaker - then Prowl, Bluestreak, and Gears killed him. Prime wasn't involved at all.
