DDP: G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Snake Eyes Declassified #3 (2005)
 
In 2001, Devil's Due Press, initially using Image Comics to distribute their titles, revived the G.I. Joe property in comic book form. The success of the G.I. Joe comic allowed Devil's Due to branch out to more properties and eventually break off from Image to be their own company. While primarily continuing the stories from the Marvel Comics series, Devil's Due experimented with creating its continuities.
 
Snake Eyes is introduced to the Arashikage Ninja Clan, Storm Shadow's family business. Snake Eyes then progresses rapidly through the ninja training; enough to defeat Storm Shadow in an exercise. The Faceless Master is introduced as an assistant to Professor Onihashi. Master Sato leads a revolt against the Hard Master for his inclusion of Snake Eyes in the clan. Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow & the Soft Master defeat the revolt. The Hard Master banishes Master Sato and several of the other ninjas from the clan that were involved in the revolt.
