It's why in my own headcanon the Extreme team is actually the precursor to the classic team and that some of Cobra's tech came from the remnants of SKAR (the terrorist group from Extreme).

Yeah. It was very much a product of the Dark Ages of comics. It wasn't the worst comic of that time, that cake goes to Heroes Reborn. I liked that a faction that wasn't COBRA was added to the GI Joe rogues gallery. I liked that SKAR was actually a national guard for a foreign nation as opposed to a non-state terrorist group. The biggest problem Extreme had was that too many characters were just carbon copies of the ARAH characters, so it begged the question as to why establish new characters if their personalities were just going to be the same as the ARAH characters. In general, it just ended up being a wash. I did like that Iron Klaw and Sgt. Savage were featured in comics like IDW's Revolutionairies.
