G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom

G.I. Joe Valor vs. Venom is a directtovideo CGI animated movie and sequel to G.I. Joe Spy Troops. It was released in 2004 by Reel FX Creative Studios and distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment. Like Spy Troops, the film was written around the theme of the toys released that year. In this case, it was Valor vs. Venom which introduced a new villain group, Cobras VTroops.

As in G.I. Joe Spy Troops, elements from the comic series published by Devils Due are integrated into the story, such as the wristcom gauntlets, and the notquitesecret status of the G.I. Joe elite. Previous animated forays likewise portrayed the Joes as publicly recognized heroes. The Cobra VTroops are introduced, but are never referred to as such, instead merely identified as Venomized troops. From events occurring in this movie, most fans are led to believe that Valor vs. Venom is the precursor to G.I. Joe Sigma 6. The most notable connection, is the mention of General Hawk being hospitalized for the series, because of having his genes scrambled by Cobras experiments as well as Cobra Commanders arrest.Hasbro also released a Valor vs. Venom toyline in 2004, to correspond with the characters from the movie. A second wave of Valor vs. Venom figures was released in 2005. ........
