Storm Shadow, GI Joe

So, Storm Shadow. A pretty one-tone villain in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, wasn't he? A petulant child that killed his master because he couldn't deal with not being the favorite, rotten to the bone and in it just for the power and money, right? Right. But then...

Then GI Joe: Retaliation came and you realized just how cool Storm Shadow really was. For me, he was the main hero, his story was the really important one. He went from someone you hated to someone who intrigued you and you wanted to know more about him because you realized his story was not that simple. And you rooted for him to kick some major ass - and he did, he so, so did! Definitely not a paper thin, 2D character but someone with his own story to tell.
