'''Snake-Eyes''' is a ninja. As such, he has been known to flip out and kill people. He is also a mammal. It is rumored he plays guitar in his free time. He doesn't talk much and it's not clear what his face looks like under his mask, but at least [[Scarlett|one woman]] thinks he's pretty darn cool.

''Statistically, all ninjas are turtles.''

===Marvel Comics continuity===

Snake-Eyes was one of the Joes stationed at Fort Lewis near Olympia, WA to guard [[Power Station Alpha]], the world's first mobile solar/nuclear power station. The base was attack by the [[Dreadnoks]] and also investigated by the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. Snake-Eyes managed to shut down Alpha after it was set moving by the Decepticon [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks|Blood on the Tracks}} then was part of the team who tried to deal with the angry Autobot [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Power Struggle|Power Struggle}} Snake-Eyes remained stationed at Fort Lewis and subsequently had to work in a alliance with Cobra against the Decepticons. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!|...All Fall Down!}}

While COBRA re-made [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] as a tank, Snake-Eyes was busy fighting [[Night Creeper Leader]].

Later Snake-Eyes and [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] tried to help [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] in destroying the alien technology Cobra had obtained, but Hot Spot was wounded and choose to activate his self-destruct up rather than risk being captured. {{storylink|All or Nothing!|All or Nothing!}}

===Dreamwave continuity===
====Transformers/G.I. Joe====
He enlisted with G.I. Joe.

At the [[Fera Islands]] he encountered his sword brother [[Storm Shadow|Stormshadow]], who had long since abandoned the Arashikage ninja clan to dishonorably join [[Cobra]]. Their rivalry was heightened by Stormshadow's damaging Snake-Eyes's face — and Snake-Eyes had to damage his own face more by using flame to cauterize the wound.

Stormshadow led Snake-Eyes on a chase around the area - which included a battle against [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]. Snake-Eyes defeated the robot cat. Eventually Snake-Eyes and Stormshadow drove each other over the edge of a cliff and into the water below. Luckily, Snake-Eyes was not eaten by the shark that
consumed his nemesis.

After brooding a tiny bit more, Snake-Eyes rendezvoused with [[Scarlett]]. Together, the two infiltrated Cobra's [[Terrordrome]]. On orders from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Snake-Eyes destroyed [[The Matrix]] - killing all Transformers and preventing their war from spreading over the earth.

====Divided Front====
Over a decade later, he's still doing the ninja thing.<br>
''Much like [[Destro]], it's entirely possible the Snake-Eyes in this story was not the ninja we know and love, but perhaps somebody else was under the mask acting in the same role.''

===Devil's Due continuity===
====Transformers vs. G.I. Joe====
Originally, Snake-Eyes enjoyed a reputation among his military comrades for being incredibly talkative; however, due to injuries he sustained when [[Cobra]] attacked [[Washington, D.C.]] using mind-controlled [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] as war machines, he lost his ability to speak and his face was severely disfigured. He subsequently became a founding member of the G.I. Joe team.

He cut [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] in the eye and shoved in a grenade.

As a way of thanking him and G.I.Joe for his efforts, the [[Autobot|Autobots]] gave him a giant robot of his own to pilot.

====The Art Of War====
He and [[Scarlett]] were using their giant robots to play one last game of tag before the Autobots arrived to decommission them as part of a project to remove all [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] technology from [[Earth]], when Cobra Commander suddenly attacked G.I. Joe's base using his own army of giant robots. Luckily the [[Autobot|Autobots]] arrived to assist in defending the base.

Snake-Eyes was part of the group that followed [[Serpent O.R.]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and was quickly captured. In captivity, he and [[Scarlett]] had a tender moment where he revealed his heavily damaged faced to her.

Later, he escaped confinement by using an [[Arashikage]] ninja technique to hypnotize his guard ([[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]]) into shooting the other prison guard ([[Nautilator]]). Once he and the other captured Joes were free, they met with the rest of the assembled G.I. Joe/Autobot army to fight off Serpent O.R.'s new Decepticon Army. Snake-Eyes helped by stabbing [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]] through the eyes to save [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]].

Later, after the battle had been won, he relaxed and continued his game of tag with Scarlett.

====Black Horizon====
He's still alive. But not as cool as [[Joseph Colton]]. {{storylink|Black Horizon|Black Horizon}}

===''Transformers Animated'' cartoon===
Snake-Eyes is a video game character in [[Ninja Gladiator]], a fight game enjoyed by [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]].{{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}
