> [@DocCathode](#): > > 1. Charlie America? Chaplin America? (I’m sure it wasn’t Charlie Chaplin America though.) Nope, nope, nope. Keep in mind that the inhabitants of Spider-Ham’s universe are anthropomorphic animals, and are almost always named accordingly. ---

Wish I could help, Bosda … all I bring to the table in this case are advanced Googling skills, which I assume you already have. ---

As fior the rest… The first GI Joe was General Joseph “GI Joe” Colton. In the comics, he appears as an older man with a brown crew-cut & a short brown beard. In other words, he’s the old 12" figure. 😃 In the comics continuity, President Kennedy formed the first GI Joe team, consisting of about 11 or 12 operatives. Miss Lace was a cartoon character created by Milton Caniff. She was a sexy brunette, with pre-Betty Page bangs. She appeared in _Stars & Stripes_, a magazine published by the US military for soldiers during WW2. Her comic strips have been re-printed in Trade Paperback form for years, and I highly recommend them. DC’s Enemy Ace began in WW1, flying biplanes. He ended his career in WW2, flying the ME262. [Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe / Sturmvogel](http://www.fighter-planes.com/info/me262.htm) The German Jet. Bonus Question–in what military service did Sergeant Gorilla serve? In what war? In What theatre? ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > 5.) Who was Captain America’s counterpart in Spider-Ham’s universe? > > 6.) What about Doctor Doom’s? Time for question clean-up. #5 is Captain Americat. As I recall, his costume had a star on the tip of its tail. #6 is the villainous Ducktor Doom. ---

In the spirit of clean up: Sergeant Gorilla was an honorary member of the Marines. He was also a male, adult gorilla. WW2, Pacific theatre.
