Transformers/G.I. Joe
Stormshadow [sic] had a long-running rivalry with Snake-Eyes. From Snake-Eyes' narration, it can be inferred that they were friends when they were young ninjas-in-training, but Stormshadow became a traitor and eventually joined Cobra. However, Stormshadow still retained delusions of honor.
As G.I. Joe began their attack on Cobra's stronghold, Stormshadow led his sword brother on a long journey across the landscape, at one point injuring Snake-Eye's face. To prevent the wound from bleeding, Snake-Eyes had to use gunpowder to cauterize the would, but this ruined his visage. Transformed
After leading Snake-Eyes into the clutches of Ravage, Stormshadow was eventually thrown into the water below, where a shark ate him. Wolves
